Mirage suggests setting the bass management cr

ossover of your A/V Receiver or pr

ocessor

to 120Hz. (Or as close to 120Hz as possible). If your A/V Receiver or pr

ocessor does not

have a variable cr

ossover

, please pr

oceed to the next step.

6.

Balance the sound output of the speakers by using the pink noise test patter

n generated

by your A/V Receiver or pr

ocessor

, adjusting the system so all speakers pr

oduce the same

output level.

7.

When setting your subwoofer level, be sur

e that the setting on your A/V Receiver or

pr

ocessor r

emains as close to flat as possible. Boosting or cutting the subwoofer output on

your A/V Receiver or pr

ocessor may pr

oduce poor sound quality

. Instead, use volume

contr

ol on the back of the NANOSUB for fine tuning. 

You ar

e now r

eady to enjoy your Mirage NANOSA

T System.

This series pr

ovides a large choice of installation options to integrate into any decor

. 

The bottom of the NANOSA

T is designed to clip onto the optional MS-STB-1 stand. Please r

efer

to the MS-STB-1 owners’ manual for mor

e detailed instructions.

For wall mount installations, the NANOSA

T is equipped with a mounting bracket that can be

used to mount the speaker secur

ely to a vertical surface. The bracket is shipped alr

eady

attached to the speaker

.

Car
efully drive a #8 scr

ew into a stud in the wall, leaving appr

oximately 1/4 inch of the scr

ew

exposed, then mount the NANOSA

T like you would a pictur

e.  Note: Failur

e to attach the scr

ew

safely to a secur

e spot on the wall can r

esult is damage or injury

.  See Diagram 2

When mounting the speaker at a height of under six feet, orient the NANOSA

T in an upright

position. Slide the head of the scr

ew into the wide portion of the channel opening and slide

the NANOSA

T downwar

d until it sits in position. See Diagrams 2, 3

When mounting the speaker at a height of over six feet, orient the NANOSA

T in an upside

down position so the grill is facing the floor and use the bottom key-way channel.  Slide the

head of the scr

ew into the wide portion of the channel opening and slide the NANOSA

T

downwar

d until it sits in position.  See Diagrams 2, 3

The speaker can also be angled by slightly loosening the scr

ew on the bottom of the NANOSA

T

and swiveling the speaker into the desir

ed position.

The 

NANOSA

T System has been designed for high performance in a wide variety of

settings, but her

e ar
e a few helpful hints that will help to maximize performance and your

enjoyment.

A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker and listener

at appr

oximately 1.5 times the distance between the speakers.  For example, if the speakers

wer
e ideally placed a minimum of 6 feet apart, the best seating position would be 9 feet away

.

Ideal height would position the speaker at appr

oximately ear level when the listener is in a

seated position.  This can be accomplished by using the r

ecommended optional MS-STB-1 stand.  

A center channel can be expected to r

epr
oduce as much as 60% of a movie’

s soundtrack, most

of which is dialogue.  In or

der to maintain the ef

fect of voices emanating fr

om the actor’

s

mouth, the NANOSA

T being used as the center channel should be centrally located between

the left and right NANOSA

T and be placed above or below the television.  

When using the NANOSA

T as a surr

ound speaker it should be positioned adjacent to and

slightly in fr

ont or behind the primary listening ar

ea.  A general guideline for the r

ecommended

height would be appr

oximately 6 feet. 

The small size and OMNIPOLAR

™

dispersion of the versatile NANOSA

T permits them to be easily

placed, among other places, in a bookshelf.  If this is your pr

eferr

ed placement, af

fix the

isolating pads pr

ovided to the bottom of the speaker to help isolate the speaker fr

om the shelf

and eliminate any transfer

ence of r

esonance.  T

o maximize the OMNIPOLAR

™

dispersion

potential, bring the speaker as close to the fr

ont of the cabinet as possible.

The 

NANOSA

T System is equipped with high quality binding posts that permit the use

of banana plugs, spades, or a bar

e wir

e connection.  

Connect the speaker wir

e fr
om the positive (RED +) terminal on the amp to the positive (RED+)

terminal on the speaker

.  Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the amplifier to the

negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker

. See Diagram 1

Start of

f by placing the subwoofer near a cor

ner in the fr

ont of the r

oom. This will pr

oduce

maximum bass output. By moving the subwoofer away fr

om the cor

ner you will eventually find

the position that yields maximum bass output without “boominess”. Note: it is important to

leave appr

oximately 4 inches (10cm) of clearance between the subwoofer and walls or r

oom

fur
nishings. 

1. 

If you ar

e using a digital r

eceiver

, connect the subwoofer fr

om the r

eceiver subwoofer pr

e-

amplifier output to the subwoofer RCA input, with a male to male RCA cable.

2.

If your r

eceiver does not have an RCA output, connect the speaker wir

e fr
om the fr

ont left

and right outputs to the corr

esponding left and right inputs on the subwoofer

, paying

particular attention to make sur

e that the polarities ar

e maintained.  Ensur

e Red (+) to Red

and Black (-) to Black connections ar

e maintained.

The NANOSUB is equipped with a master power switch which must be engaged prior to use. If

the subwoofer will not be in use for extended periods of time, simply select the master power

switch “of

f” position. Next select the position of the Power Mode switch that is located on the

back panel of the subwoofer

. Ther

e ar
e 3 possible modes that the subwoofer can be operated in:

1. 

OFF- T

ur

ns Subwoofer Power OFF

. The Subwoofer will not operate in this mode. Use this

mode if the Subwoofer is inactive for short periods of time. If the subwoofer will not be in

use for extended periods of time, unplug the AC cor

d fr
om the wall r

eceptacle. 

2. 

Auto- In this mode the Subwoofer tur

ns ON in the pr

esence of an audio signal then tur

ns

OFF with a delay when the audio signal disappears. The indicator light on the fr

ont of the

subwoofer will specify whether the subwoofer is in standby mode (Glows Red) or in

Operational mode (Glows Gr

een). This is the r

ecommended mode for general operation.

3. 

ON- the Subwoofer r

emains in the operational mode and will not shut of

f when the audio

signal disappears. This position is useful when watching television or satellite TV wher

e

low fr

equency information is not as r

obust as CD’

s or DVD’

s. The Indicator light will

permanently glow gr

een in this mode.
