When used as fronts, the speakers should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart
and kept away from the side walls and comers. A good rule
of
thumb is to place
the speakers separated by one half the length
of
the
\l{all
they are positioned along,
and each speaker one quarter the length
of
the wall behind them away from the
side wall.
Mounting
Your
Mythos Gem XL
with
the
Supplied
Wall-Mount
Template
Your Mythos Gem XL comes with an optional wall-bracket designed to securely
mount your speaker flush to your wall. The bracket can
ONL
Y be used with a
vertical installation. For safety, it is extremely important that this bracket be installed
with molly-bolts or similarly effective fasteners appropriate for the construction
of
your wall. Be sure to use all six
of
the mounting holes when fastening the bracket
to the wall. Never use unanchored or improperly anchored screws in your wall.
Professional installation is strongly recommended. Your dealer can either arrange
this for you, or refer you to a qualified installer.
To determine the bracket's position on the wall, use the mounting template which
comes with your speakers.
If
you are mounting your Mythos Gem XL close to any-
thing above it, please allow an extra 1
1
/4
inches above the top
of
the speaker for the
speaker to slide onto its bracket.
If
your speaker wires are to be hidden inside the wall, be sure to conform to your
local building codes. When installed on the bracket, the center
of
the Mythos Gem
XL speaker terminals will be as indicated on the template.
To install
th~
Mythos Gem XL on its bracket, securely fasten the mounting screw
supplied into the threaded hole on the rear
of
the speaker, screwing it in
as
far
as
it
will go. The speaker will then·hang in the "keyhole" on the bracket. After placing the
screw in this opening, pressing down firmly on the top
of
the speaker will seat
the speaker properly and avoid any rattles during use.
In
addition,
the
Mythos
Gem
XL
has
a
threaded
insert
on
the
back
which
may
be
used
with
a
wall-mount
pivoting
bracket
such
as
the
Definitive
ProMount
80.
