Nothing complements your new high definition flat screen television with more style, versatility and sheer performance than the beautiful Mythos Series models. The Mythos Eight is an on-wall model in the critically acclaimed Mythos line of high performance loudspeakers. Mythos Eights come with easy-to-install mounting hardware that allows them to hang on the wall astride your new television. Mythos wall-mounted models are engineered to be placed flush with the wall and close to the sides of your television (very sonically-unforgiving locations) and still deliver realistic sound that is accurate and utterly unexpected, with lifelike imaging and remarkable clarity. Mythos Eight can be used as Left & Right main, center and surround speakers for truly exceptional on-wall home theater audio systems.
Superior Performance Mid/Bass DriversEach Mythos Eight contains a D’Appolito array consisting of two high-definition 5-1/4 inch drivers surrounding a 1-inch dome tweeter housed in an acoustically isolated sealed enclosure. The drivers feature die cast Aluminum baskets, mono-polymer cones and Finite Element Analysis optimized magnet structures for clear low distortion life-like sound. The drivers are pressure-coupled to two 5-1/4 inch planar Low-Bass Radiators for a total bass radiating surface greater than that of a 10 inch conventional woofer. The result is exceptional bass extension not normally found in slim on-wall loudspeakers. The bass roll-off of the Mythos Eight is smooth and controlled, allowing it to seamlessly blend with a powered subwoofer, such as Definitive’s SuperCubes, for audiophile-grade home theater power and precision.
A Sweeter TweeterThe two active 5-1/4" drivers surround a Pure Aluminum dome tweeter whose dome is heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess.
Rock-Solid EnclosureMythos Series enclosures are hand-polished gloss Black aircraft-grade extruded aluminum with proprietary damping technologies that ensure total rigidity. All components are mounted on a resonance-free PolyStone baffle. These rock-solid construction technologies along with state-of-the-art drivers and tweeter serve to deliver classic Definitive Technology sound quality: wide soundstage, pinpoint imaging, high dynamic impact, and superb realism.
Ultimate VersatilityThe Mythos Eight comes with a wall mount bracket that allows direct mounting to a wall and also adapts to flat panel TV swing out arm-style wall mounts so that the speaker angle changes with the TV angle. Supplied adjustable feet permit easy shelf mounting when the speaker is used in the horizontal center-channel format.
