On-wall, On-shelf L/C/R Loudspeaker
$799.00 each
Definitive engineers are always striving for perfection — the extra dash of performance, the final measure of beauty. Our customers asked for better performance from a slimmer, more elegant on-wall speaker and Definitive's Engineers delivered the newest member of the critically acclaimed Mythos line of high-performance loudspeakers: the Mythos Nine.
The Perfect match for Your Flat Panel TV
This beautiful and potent performer is perfectly proportioned to match 50" and larger TVs when used as left and right speakers; when used as a center speaker the Nine fits nicely with 42" and larger sets. It is the perfect center channel complement to the critically acclaimed Mythos STS SuperTowers® for a truly state-of-the-art home theater system.
Advanced Technologies Bring You Spectacular Sound Quality for Music and Movies
Through the use of advanced driver and enclosure technologies used in the top-of-the-line award-winning Mythos ST and STS SuperTowers; the Mythos Nine achieves a level of on-wall speaker performance exceeded only by the Mythos Ten.
Each Mythos® Nine contains two high-definition Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) 4-1/2" drivers (patent pending) that are pressure-coupled to two 4-1/2" x 8" racetrack-shaped planar Low-Bass Radiators for bass extension unheard of in a slim on-wall loudspeaker of this size. Thanks to the performance advantages of its BDSS drivers and racetrack bass radiators the Mythos Nine significantly outperforms other on-wall speakers in its size and price class. The bass roll-off of the Mythos Nine 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.
The two active 4-1/2" drivers surround a new generation Pure Aluminum dome tweeter, the same used in Definitive's Mythos® STS SuperTowers®. This remarkable new tweeter incorporates a new voice coil, new dome, new surround, and an acoustically contoured faceplate for unequaled high-frequency extension, detail, and smoothness.
Mythos 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 Versatility
The Mythos Nine 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 foot permits easy shelf mounting when used in horizontal orientation.

"depth and clarity"
I am a piano technician specializing in servicing concert grand pianos, especially Yamaha. I have been a sound "geek" all my life searching for that depth and clarity that only can make a grown man weep. This speaker has done the trick. Without being in my face, it has added a perspective of fine music present in some of the best DVDs on the planet.
