Unpacking Your Mythos XTR-50 Speakers

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loudspeaker. Please unpack your speaker carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials in case you move or need to ship your speaker. Record the serial number found on the back of the Mythos XTR-50 on this manual.

VERY IMPORTANT: Accessories

Various parts and accessories that you will need to use your Mythos XTR-50 are in the carton but are easy to overlook. Open both ends of the shipping carton. Carefully examine the contents of the shipping carton and packing material to find the plastic bags with accessories.

Connecting the Mythos XTR-50

The wire connection method used on the Mythos XTR-50 is different than most speakers so please read these instructions! (NOTE: if you are using the table stands, you should pass the wire through the wire channels before attaching the green speaker wire connector.)

1. In the accessories plastic bag you will find a small green plastic connector as shown in Figure 1.
2. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from each conductor of the speaker wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the individual conductors into single un-frayed strands.
3. Use a small jewelers screwdriver to loosen the screws on the connector just enough to allow the wire ends to fit in the holes. [Figure 1]
4. Slip the wire ends into the holes and tighten the screws until the wire is firmly attached to the connector. (NOTE: if you are using the table stands, you should pass the wire through the wire channels before attaching the wire connector.)

Note that one of the terminals is marked with “+” and the other is marked with “-”. Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the “+” terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black (-) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the “-” terminal on your speaker. Most speaker wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect both speakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase). If you experience a lack of bass or poor surround effect, it is likely that one or more of the channels is connected in incorrect polarity and needs to be rewired.

Pay closer attention to connect positive to positive and negative to negative on all channels.

1. Gently push the male connector with the wire into the female receptacle on the speaker. The connector is designed so that it can only go in one way with the correct orientation of positive and negative pins. [Figure 2]

2. Connect a single RCA cable from the "SUB OUT" of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer (not included). [Figure 3] This connecting method bypasses the subwoofer's internal "crossover" or low pass filter and relies on the crossover filter built into your receiver.

3. See page 4 for instructions on Speaker Set Up in your surround receiver.

If you intend to place the Mythos XTR-50 on a TV or shelf in a horizontal orientation, see page 3.

Wall Mounting the Mythos XTR-50

• We recommend that wall-mounting of speakers be performed by professional installers or by those skilled in the use of power tools and the knowledge of building codes and structural issues.
- We recommend that you determine a suitable location for your speaker installation, and that you complete all wiring (especially "hidden" in-wall wiring) before mounting the brackets to your walls.
- Mythos wall-mount brackets are not suitable for ceiling mounting. The Mythos XTR-50 loudspeaker comes with a wall-mounting bracket that can make mounting easier but in most cases the bracket is not necessary to wall-mount the speaker. The supplied bracket may be necessary when mounting the speaker to a full-motion or tilting TV wall-mount. You may choose to use the supplied wall-mount bracket if you want the speaker to protrude a bit more from the wall (total depth without the bracket is 1.5 inches [38mm] and 1.6 inches [40mm] with the bracket). The bracket is padded with foam that may be useful for damping rattles or vibrations between speaker and wall surface.

Follow these directions for wall mounting the speaker without using the bracket.

1. The supplied cardboard mounting template is double-sided; one side is for horizontal orientation and the other is for vertical mounting. Be sure to face the correct side toward you. Hold the cardboard template in the intended location. Make sure the speaker clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames. Leave at least 1" (25 mm) above or to the side of the speaker location to allow the speaker to slide onto the screws.
2. Make sure the center of the template is centered with the TV screen's center points.
3. When mounting the speaker horizontally, use a bubble level to make sure the template is level.
4. When mounting the speaker vertically, use a plumb line to find perfect vertical. If the TV is off-level or off-plumb, the speaker will look better if it is off-level or plumb in exactly the same way as the TV.
5. Use push pins to secure the template to the wall.

6. Make pencil marks in the holes labeled "Pilot Hole (for mounting without bracket)"; remove the template.

7. Pre-drill the pilot-hole locations for mounting screws (not included). Use screws rated to hold securely in the wall material and have screw heads (flat or panhead are acceptable) at least 0.33 inch (8.5mm) in diameter.

8. It is best if at least one screw hits a wall stud. If there is no stud behind the pilot-hole location, install wall anchors (not included) to secure the bracket screws. [Figure 5] Follow the wall anchor manufacturer's directions. Each wall anchor should be rated to hold at least one half of the product net weight [see specifications on page 1].
9. For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit to pre-drill holes, and use masonry anchors and screws (not included).
10. Drive in the screws until the head is approximately 0.12 inch (3mm) away from the wall. If the screws are driven too close to the wall, you will not be able to slip the speaker onto the screw heads. If the screws are not close enough to the wall, the speaker will be loose and may rattle when played.
11. Push the speaker connector into the female receptacle on the back of the speaker (see page 2).
12. Line up the speaker so that the screws enter the center part of the + shaped channels; slide the speaker down so that the screw heads hold the speaker in place. [Figure 4]
13. Gently pull on the speaker to make sure the screws are firmly holding the speaker.
14. If the speaker is not held tightly to the wall, drive the screws in a little deeper and try again.

Follow these directions for installing the speaker with the wall-mounting bracket.

1. The supplied cardboard mounting template is double-sided; one side is for horizontal orientation and the other is for vertical mounting. Be sure to face the correct side toward you. Hold the cardboard template in the intended location. Make sure the speaker clears the ceiling, adjacent walls, corners, beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames. Leave at least 1" (25 mm) above or to the side of the speaker location to allow the speaker to slide onto the screws.
2. Make sure the center of the template is centered with the TV screen's center points.
3. When mounting the speaker horizontally, use a bubble level to make sure the template is level.
4. When mounting the speaker vertically, use a plumb line to find perfect vertical. If the TV is off-level or off-plumb, the speaker will look better if it is off-level or plumb in exactly the same way as the TV.
5. Use push pins to secure the template to the wall.
6. Make pencil marks in the holes labeled "Pilot Hole"; remove the template.
7. Pre-drill the pilot-hole locations for mounting screws (not included). Use flat head screws rated to hold securely in the wall material and have screws heads between 0.25 inch (6.4mm) and 0.33 inch (8.4mm) in diameter.

1. It is best if at least one screw hits a wall stud. If there is no stud behind the pilot-hole location, install wall anchors (not included) to secure the bracket screws. [Figure 5] Follow the wall anchor manufacturer's directions. Each wall anchor should be rated to hold at least one half of the product net weight [see specifications on page 1].
2. For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit to pre-drill holes, and use masonry anchors and screws (not included).
3. Secure the bracket to the wall with screws driven into the pilot holes or wall anchors. Bracket should be tight to the wall, and screw heads should be flush with the bracket.
4. Attach the supplied male connector to the speaker wire and plug the connector into the receptacle on the speaker (see page 2).
5. Line up the speaker so that the mounting heads enter the center part of the + shaped channels; slide the speaker down so that the mounting heads hold the speaker in place. [Figure 6]
6. Gently pull on the speaker to make sure the screws are firmly holding the speaker.

Mounting the Mythos XTR-50 to an articulating TV bracket

If you have a Plasma or LCD TV that is attached to the wall via a swing-out articulating bracket such as those offered by Chief and Sanus, consult the TV bracket manufacturer's user manual for specific speaker mounting instructions.

Shelf/Table Mounting

If you are going to use the Mythos XTR-50 in horizontal mode on a

shell or table, first attach the two supplied rubber pads to the bottom edge of the speaker. [Figure 7] Assemble the L-brackets to the threaded holes in the back of the speaker using the 1/4 20 x 12mm long screws provided. [Figure 8] Thread the foot screws into "L" brackets and adjust to tilt the speaker up or down to aim the speaker toward seated listener ear height.

If you are going to vertically mount the speaker on a shelf or table, do not attach the wall mount bracket to the speaker. Follow these steps:

1. Assemble the shelf stand using [Figure 9] as a guide.

2. Pass the speaker wire through the wire channel and attach the male speaker connector to the speaker wire as shown on Page 2.

3. Assemble the provided screw and square-neck nut onto the lower hole in the back of stand leaving a 3mm gap between the nut flange and the stand. [Figure 10]
4. Line up the center of the + shaped channel with the square-neck nut on the stand and push the speaker in and down on the nut.
5. Thread the provided 1/4 20 screw through the top hole in the stand into the threaded hole in the speaker and tighten the screw.
