Enjoy 3D sound from this slender, room-friendly sound bar

Definitive Technology's Mythos SSA-50 gives you surprisingly three-dimensional home theatre sound when installing a complete five-speaker system isn't an option. Definitive's Spatial Array™ technology precisely controls which sounds are played by each of the nine drivers, creating the illusion that you are surrounded by five separate high-performance speakers. The result is a wide listening area with excellent performance to the sides, in which you can clearly pinpoint action happening to your left and to your right. The SSA-50 doesn't depend on bouncing sound off of your walls, unlike some sound bar speakers, so it works well in just about any room. And it's designed to perform equally as well with your favourite music as it does with your Hollywood blockbusters.

High-tech speaker design produces detailed surround-like effects

The SSA-50 houses nine total drivers — five for the front soundstage and four to handle the rear channels. Three of those drivers have a pure aluminum dome tweeter mounted in front of the speaker cone, for extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. And Definitive's BDSS driver technology helps increase the tiny speakers' output without increasing the size of the enclosure. Connect it to a multi-channel receiver and you've got a simple, high-performance home theatre solution that's sure to impress.

Gorgeous aircraft-grade aluminum cabinet

The slim enclosure is made of stunning black hand-polished aluminum, and is sized to matched TVs with screens measuring 50" or larger. The SSA-50 can be wall mounted using the supplied mounting bracket, or placed on a shelf in front of your TV.

Add Definitive's ProSub800 subwoofer to get full-range sound that reaches down to 20 Hz.

Ssa-50 May-22-13
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Bear,De  
I bought the ssa5 and the sound quality sucks so after do research I bout the ssa-50 and the sound quality is better than I expected. It's being powered with a pioneer elite vsx-42 and a velodine 12 sub. All I can say the sound and surround spund I get is superb.  Wall mounting is a little work but not to difficult

Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-50 Installed in C May-23-12
Reviewer: GeneM from Port St. Lucie, FL  
Looks good, sounds okay.  I bought this unit because it is a perfect fit inside my gloss black Sony Style TV stand and matches the finish so well that you do not even notice that it is there.  I looks like it is a part of the stand (I did have to devise a mounting method).  It is powered by a Denon 1912 receiver which also feeds an older 90W, eight -inch cone subwoofer.  This unit is located in a central common area in the house where appearance was a big factor.  I have a separate dedicated home theater for more serious movie and TV watching.


 
Mythos on a Denon AVR1912 May-04-12
Reviewer: Josh from Sherwood, Oregon  
I have installed the SSA5-50 in our family room, 16ft wide by 22ft wide, and it sounds wonderful. Clear and crisp sound on the five channel configuration from the Denon AVR-1912; 90-watt per channel discrete amplifier. I typically run the bar at about -35 to -40 db depending in the source and is more than enough to fill the room. Bass is significantly lacking as expected, but is complimented very nicely with the pro-sub 800.  

During install I would recommend installing speaker wire to the binding posts first then attaching the mounting bracket. This will greatly ease installation due to the confined space around the binding posts.  

Additionally, I have a 47" LCD sitting above the soundbar and the looks are aesthetically pleasing, so feel confident in going with this over the SSA-42 despite a less than 50" TV. You never know when you will go bigger, but you will never go smaller on the TV.
