W

e ar

e pr
oud to welcome you as a new owner of a 

speaker

.  The finest components

and materials ar

e manufactur

ed to exacting standar

ds and tested with sophisticated

manufacturing and quality contr

ol techniques to ensur

e exceptional performance that is

superior to systems costing several times their price.  This appr

oach to the development of the

Mirage system has r

esulted in a significant impr

ovement over other system designs in terms of

performance and aesthetics. 

The main goal of this series was to pr

ovide a pr

oduct with the most natural, accurate

performance and seamless, home theater blending.  This was accomplished by using Mirage’

s

pr

oprietary OMNIPOLAR

™

technology in 5 identical satellites.  OMNIPOLAR

™

technology

pr

oduces the same amount of dir

ect and r

eflected sound as live events for the most r

ealistic

experience of either music or home theater

. Five identical satellites for the fr

ont, center and

surr
ound channels guarantee the same tonal and timbr

e characteristics to further enhance the

life-like, OMNIPOLAR

™

experience.

OMNIPOLAR

™

technology uses natural r

oom r

eflections to cr

eate a gr

eater sense of r

ealism.

This r

ealism is accomplished by r

ecr
eating the same ratio of dir

ect to r

eflected sound found in

natur

e, 70% r

eflected and 30% dir

ect.  A traditional speaker can only pr

oduce 30% r

eflected

sound.  It is the r

equir

ed additional r

eflected sound pr

ovided by an OMNIPOLAR

™

speaker that

cr

eates the OMNIPOLAR

™

thr
ee-dimensional sound experience.

Ts and NANOSUB in a Home Theater configuration:  Use one

NANOSA

T for the left, center

, right, r

ear left and r

ear right channels and one NANOSUB.

Connect all five satellites with speaker wir

e to their r

espective speaker outputs in back of

the amplifier/r

eceiver

. Be sur

e to r

espect the polarity of the wir

e. Connect the speaker wir

e

fr

om the positive (RED +) terminal on the r

eceiver/amplifier to the positive (RED+) terminal

on the satellite.  Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the r

eceiver/amplifier to the

negative (BLACK-) terminal on the satellite. See Diagram 1

3.

Connect the subwoofer fr

om the Subwoofer Output on the back of the A/V Receiver or

pr

ocessor to the input on the subwoofer

. See Diagram 6. Note: if you’r

e A/V Receiver is

not equipped with a Subwoofer Output, run an additional set of speaker wir

es fr

om your

A/V r

eceiver’

s Left and Right Fr

ont speaker outputs to the High Level Inputs on the back of

the subwoofer

. See Diagram 6
