We are proud to welcome you as a new owner of a Mirage speaker system.
The finest components and materials are manufactured to exacting standards
and tested with sophisticated manufacturing and quality control techniques to
ensure exceptional performance that is superior to speakers costing several
times their price. This approach to the development of the Mirage OMNI
series has resulted in a significant improvement over other system designs in
terms of performance and aesthetics.

Mirage loudspeakers and subwoofers are designed and manufactured by
Audio Products International Corp., known throughout the industry as “API”.
A Canadian company founded in 1973, API is one of the world’s largest
speaker manufacturers, supplying products to over sixty countries
internationally.

The renowned Mirage research team advances its speaker development
through the use of computer-based design techniques combined with
multiple listening rooms and anechoic chambers. Mirage is manufactured in a
modern 165, 000 square foot facility located in Toronto, Canada. A dedicated
team of engineering, marketing, and manufacturing people creates the finest
speakers in the world for your ultimate music or home theater listening
pleasure. Now it’s time to set up your system and experience the miracle of
Mirage Omnipolar sound.

The main goal of the new OMNI series was to provide a series of speakers
with the most natural, accurate performance that could excel at both home
theater and music reproduction. This was accomplished by using Mirage’s
newest proprietary Omnipolar technology. Omnipolar technology produces
the same amount of direct and reflected sound as live events for the most
realistic experience of either music or home theater.

Omnipolar technology uses natural room reflections to create a greater sense
of realism. This is accomplished by recreating the same ratio of direct to
reflected sound - 70% reflected and 30% direct, that is typically found in
performance spaces. A conventional speaker only produces 30% reflected
sound. It is the additional reflected sound provided by a Mirage Omnipolar
speaker that creates a miraculous three-dimensional sound experience in
your home.

Except for the OMNI FX, all models in the OMNI series have two-piece
grilles. First attach the top grille that covers the Omnitech Module then
attach the lower grille that covers the front of the speaker.

The Mirage OMNI Series has been designed for high performance in a wide
variety of settings, but here are 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 approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the
speakers. For example, if the speakers were ideally placed a minimum of 6
feet apart, the best seating position would be 9 feet away.

Ideal height would position the speaker at approximately ear level when the
listener is in a seated position. For the bookshelf models OMNI 50, OMNI
60 and OMNI CC, this can be accomplished by using the recommended
OMNI Series stand.

A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie’s
soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of
voices emanating from the actor’s mouth, the OMNI-CC should be centrally
located between the left and right OMNI speakers and be placed above or
below the television.

The surround speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly 
behind the primary listening area, on the rear or side wall or on the 
ceiling to provide a sense of spaciousness and ambience for all 
Surround Sound formats.These speakers should ideally be placed above ear
level for best performance. See diagram 3.

The small size and Omnipolar dispersion of the versatile OMNI 50, OMNI
60, OMNI CC center channel and OMNI FX surround speakers permits
them to be easily wall mounted.

The OMNI FX comes equipped with its own specifically designed wall
bracket. Start by marking the brackets’ screw positions on the wall with a
pencil, then screw the bracket to the wall. Drywall anchors are recommended
for any drywall wall mount installation to ensure a solid installation. After
screwing the supplied bolt fully into the back of the OMNI FX, loosen the
bolt 2 full turns so it protrudes enough to fit into the large hole of the
bracket. Finally, insert the bolt head into the bracket to hang the OMNI FX.
See diagrams 4-6.

The OMNI 50, OMNI 60, OMNI CC, and OMNI FX are equipped with 
an insert to accommodate the optional Macromount wall bracket. The
versatile Macromount bracket provides the sturdiest wall mount and its
terminal fits the 3/8”-16 thread insert located at the back of the OMNI
models mentioned.
