INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of Mirage®loudspeakers! Proprietary
Mirage

®

technology and high quality manufacturing will allow you to
enjoy the most natural and accurate music reproduction, a trademark of
all Mirage

®

speakers, for many years.

The advice offered in this manual is aimed at helping you maximize and
maintain peak performance, and therefore, your listening satisfaction.

Please take the time to read all of the instructions contained in this
manual to make certain your system is proper ly installed and
functioning correctly.

Break-In Period

We strongly advise that you resist the temptation to play the OM series
to their full capabilities or experiment with critical placement and
listening until they have been properly broken in. This process should
last approximately 50 to 100 hours of music playback.This can be
done efficiently and effectively by putting your compact disc player on
Repeat mode, while playing a CD with a wide dynamic range at normal
listening levels.

Speaker placement

For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same
distance from their respective side walls.If the distance from one
speaker to the listener is very different from the other it can affect the
soundstage or stereo imaging. Therefore , the ideal position is having the
speakers equidistant to the listener.

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 speaker s are
ideally placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart, the best seating
position would be 9-feet (2.4m) away. (See Figiure3)

The next is referred to as the rule of thirds. This formula dictates that
the room should be divided into thirds, with the speakers placed a third
of the way into the room. The listener is positioned in the second third
of the room, with the last third of the room behind the listener. This
may be impractical or difficult to integrate into some decors, so try to
at least respect an adequate distance from side and rear walls. The OM
Series are not finicky models and can perform quite well with even the
least desired placement, but we suggest respecting a distance of two to
three feet from the rear wall,a minimum of at least 1-foot.This will
allow the OM Series to create incredible depth to the soundstage.
Placing them closer than a foot to the wall is fine and will allow very
nice stereo imaging, but a little less depth to the soundstage. Do not
make the side and rear wall distances equidistant from the speaker, as it
will negatively affect room reflections.

The rule of thirds can be difficult to apply to most room environments.
Mirage Omnipolar are not difficult to place in a room, just respect the
guideline of listening position being approximately 1.5 times the distance
between the speakers and provide from 1 to 3 feet clearance from the
rear wall.

Once the speaker position has been selected, choose a familiar
recording to determine whether the speaker's positioning provides the
best musical quality, imaging, and tonal balance .

Connections

The Mirage Omnipolar Series has been fitted with two pairs of high
quality, 5-way, gold plated binding posts The five way binding posts
accept most popular methods of speaker wire connection, though we
recommend the more secure fit of spade lugs and locking banana plugs.
Bare wire is not recommended as exposed wire ends can corrode and
degrade the signal.

One set of standard speaker cable can be used if you plan on a
conventional connection.Connect the speaker cable from the positive
(+) terminal on the amp to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker.
Connect the negative (-) terminal on the amplifier to the negative (-)
terminal on the speaker. This method can be applied to the bi-wireable
OM series speakers as long as the shorting straps are in place on
the terminals. (See Figure 1)

The OM Series is equipped with two pairs of binding posts to per mit
bi-wiring. When engineers design a crossover, they're assuming that the
terminals of the speaker see the zero source impedance of an amplifier
driving it. In reality,you have a cable that's connected from the speaker
terminals to the low source impedance of an amplifier, making the cable
common to the low and high frequency crossover. Bi-wiring eliminates
the common impedance and as a result cleans up the transition area
between low and high frequencies. The terminations on the wire should
be a high grade as well, and we recommend the use of high quality
spades that provide a tight connection to the speaker terminals.

Star t this process by removing the shor ting str aps.The tweeter's
terminals are on top, the woofer's on the bottom. If you are using two
lengths of wire instead of a pre-made bi-wireable cable, twist the
positive leads of the two wires together so they can both be inserted
into the positive terminal on the amplifier. Follow the same procedure
for the negative leads. Then connect the two positive leads to the
positive terminals in back of the speaker, and the negative leads to the
negative terminals. (See Figure 2)

Be sure to turn off your amplifier when connecting speakers to your
amplifier. Not doing so could result could result in shorting from the
speaker's leads and potential damage to the amplifier.

POWERED MODELS

Except for the OM-7, all the models in the OM series are of a
Powered/Passive design. Stereophile magazine called this concept "an
idea whose time should long have since come",in reference to the first
powered Omnipolar speaker, the OM-6. Low bass frequencies can be
generated by either a very lar ge inter ior volume of the cabinet, which in
turn translates to a big speaker that is difficult to integrate into the
room décor, or by sufficiently powering the bass dr ivers.

Built-In Amplification

A dedicated high-powered amplifier is integrated into each cabinet to
drive the low frequencies while midrange and high frequencies are
powered by the connected components. The built-in amplifiers relieve
the burden of amp-draining low frequencies, allowing the speakers to be
efficiently driven by most amplifiers.

The OM series incorpor ates a MOSFET ( Metal Oxide Semiconductor
Field Effect Transistor) power amplifier technology called Pulse Width
Modulation(PWM). The amplifier uses circuitry that responds to
incipient clipping by reducing the input level and releasing it as
conditions return to normal. The 250-watt PWM amplifier used in the
OM-5 provides 90% efficiency as compared to approximately 20%
efficiency in conventional amplifiers and thus generates significantly
less heat.

Volume and frequency controls permit fine-tuning of the bass
frequencies to suit personal tastes and guarantee maximum
performance in any listening environment.

This method permits the best of both worlds, an aesthetically pleasing
cabinet that doesn't require much floor space yet is capable of
delivering the deepest bass frequencies.

CONTROLS ON POWERED MODELS

Low Frequency (LF) EQ Control
Low Frequency and Level Controls

The subwoofer, or as we prefer to refer to it as the active low
frequency section, uses new circuitry to protect the overall tonal
balance as well as permit tailoring to a specific frequency range.
Previously, a Level control for the amount of bass output and a Low
Frequency EQ control, variable -3db to +3db, allowed adjustments to
the extreme low frequency characteristics. This did allow tailoring for
room characteristics and per sonal tastes but there were trade-offs
inherent to this design. It meant that all low frequencies were equally
boosted, even if you just desired a specific range to be enhanced.For
instance, even if you wanted to boost just the 50Hz range, all
frequencies up to midrange crossover point were equally amplified,
potentially resulting in unwanted bass in other frequencies ranges. The
new circuitry system addresses this and has perfected a method of
pinpointing the desired frequency range to be modified. The selected
point on the Low Frequency represents the desired range of
frequencies to be modified and is used as the gradual star t of a
parabolic cur ve , varying in slope based on the selected point on the
Level Control,variable from -6db to 18db. The parabolic shape , or "roll
in slope" means that a very specific range of frequencies represented by
the apex of the curve will be modified as opposed to boosting all
frequencies equally under the desired crossover point.You can boost a
wide or narrow region of frequencies without disturbing the vital tonal
balance. The speaker is in a flat, or zero tailoring to the low frequency
section, as long as the level control is set at the 0db position and the
frequency is set at 90Hz.

Auto-On/Auto-Off

The subwoofer section of the OM-5 is equipped with a circuit that
automatically turns the sub on as soon as it senses a low frequency
signal. At a predeter mined time after the signal ends, this circuit
automatically switches the subwoofer to a stand-by mode.

Clipping Protection

Mirage's proprietary Clipping Protection Circuit (CPC) continuously
senses the input signal level and automatically adjusts to prevent
unwanted clipping of the waveform to maintain undistorted bass
reproduction.

LED

A red LED located at the front of the speaker will always be visible
when the speaker is plugged into a receptacle and ready to be played.
This LED will turn green when in use.

SURROUND SOUND APPLICATIONS

Although the OM series was designed for the discriminating audiophile,
it is also ideally suited for Home Theater applications. The Omnipolar
soundstage will put the listener right in the middle of the action if you
add the following components.(See Figure 4)

Center channel

An accurate sound stage is the ultimate goal of ever y home theater
enthusiast. This has been attempted by employing main channel
speakers capable of creating a wide and constant sound stage, but
there is one inherent flaw to this rationale. Surround sound processing
will generally direct 60-70% of the film's soundtrack to the center
channel speaker. No matter how well the main channel speakers might
perform, the forward radiating center has always been the weak link,
producing a flatter, directional sound stage. Mir age engineers don't
tolerate compromise, they invent solutions.

Mirage has developed a home theater speaker with a 360 degree
radiation pattern that deliver s precise dialog placement while at the
same time impar ting the spaciousness and presence impossible to
achieve in conventional center channel designs. It's the world's first and
only Omnipolar center channel speaker, the OM-C2, and it will
revolutionize the home theater listening experience.

The OM-C2's Omnipolar technology is uniform in dispersion, providing
a perfectly spherical, full spectrum sound radiation patter n that greatly
expands the prime listening area. It is this 360-degree radiation pattern
that allows the listener to be positioned up to 90 degrees of the center
channel and still enjoy pinpoint imaging.

Rear Channel

The Mirage OM-R2 is a small surround speaker designed to be
wall mounted and blend seamlessly to any OM speaker. The dual,
1"PTH tweeter and 6.5" polypropylene cone guarantee perfect
timbre matching.

DISTORTION

When an amplifier is driven beyond its capabilities it produces distorted
output power several times greater than its rated power. All amplifiers
produce very high levels of distortion when they are overdriven and
this distor tion can damage any speaker. Overdriven amplifier distortion
is called clipping.

Clipping can easily be identified by fuzzy, distorted sounds. If this is
heard, lower the volume of the system immediately to avoid damage to
your system. If louder volumes are desired, the only solution is to
obtain an amplifier capable of delivering more clean,undistorted power.

CABINET CARE

Great care and craftsmanship have gone into the construction and finish
of the OM series cabinet. Periodically use a dr y cloth to remove dust
or fingerprints. Do not use paper towel or other abrasive mater ials as it
may damage the finish.

Feet/Spikes

Eight gold isolation feet and spikes are included with the OM series
speakers. The spikes add stability and grip if the speakers are placed on
carpet whereas the feet are preferable on floors, as they will not scratch
the surface as the spikes might. These feet are used to eliminate the
transfer of any low frequency resonance vibrations from the
surrounding cabinetr y.

WICHTIG

Ihr Lautsprecher der OM-Serie kann große Mengen Strom verbrauchen. Er sollte
deshalb nicht an den eingeschalteten oder ausgeschalteten Netzanschluß eines
Receivers oder Prozessors angeschlossen werden.Wenn möglich,ihn an einen
separaten Stromkreis anschließen.

ANMERKUNG:Das vorliegende Gerät respektiert die für digitale Ausrüstungen der
Klasse B vorgeschriebenen Grenzwerte,wie sie in Abschnitt 15 der Bestimmungen
der US-Fernmelde-Verwaltung dargelegt sind.Diese Grenzwerte gewährleisten
einen angemessenen Schutz gegen Empfangsstörungen in Wohngebieten.Das Gerät
erzeugt,verbraucht und strahlt radiomagnetische Wellen ab und kann, falls nicht
ordnungsgemäß nach Betriebsanweisungen installiert und benutzt,Störungen bei
Fernseh- und Radioempfang verursachen.Wir können jedoch keine Gewähr geben,
daß solche Störungen in einer konkreten Anlage nicht auftreten. Sollte das Gerät
den Radio- und Fernsehempfang störend beeinflussen - und das kann durch Ein­und Ausschalten des Gerätes festgestellt werden - empfehlen wir unseren Käufern
zur Abhilfe eine oder mehrere nachstehend beschriebene Maßnahmen zu treffen:

• Empfangsantenne anders ausrichten oder an anderem Ort aufstellen;

• Abstand des Gerätes zum Receiver vergrößer n;

• Gerät an einen anderen Stromkreis anschließen als den, an den der Receiver
angeschlossen ist;

• Radiohändler oder erfahrenen Radio-/Fer nsehtechniker um Rat und Hilfe
fragen.

ACHTUNG

Um das Risiko von Stromschlägen zu umgehen,

• breiten Steckkontakt nur in breiten Steckanschluß einstecken.

• Bespannungen, die die Lautsprecherchassis bedecken, nicht abnehmen.

In der Box dieses Lautsprechers sind elektronische Bauteile eingebaut.Aus
diesem Grund sollte er niemals in der unmittelbaren Nähe von möglichen
Wärmequellen wie z.B. Öfen oder Heizkörpern aufgestellt werden. Um das
Risiko von Feuergefahr oder Stromschlägen gering zu halten, sollte der
Subwoofer nicht in der Nähe von feuchtigkeitspendenden Appar aten wie z.B .
Luftbefeuchtern oder im Regen aufgestellt werden. Die elektrische
Verbindungsschnur sollte so verlegt werden, daß nicht über sie gelaufen oder daß
sie nicht eingeklemmt wird, um zu vermeiden,daß Isolier ung und Stromleiter
beschädigt werden könnten.

Ungeachtet der Tatsache,wo er aufgestellt wird, soll der Mirage Lautsprecher
immer aufrecht stehen und sein Woofer nach vorne zeigen. Der Subwoofer soll
nur als Stand-Lautsprecher benutzt werden. Wenn er für längere Zeit in einer
anderen Stellung benutzt wird, können sich Schäden er geben, die nicht von der
Garantie gedeckt sind.

Bestimmte Fernsehapparate reagieren mit besonderer Empfindlichkeit auf
magnetische Felder.Wenn auf Ihrem Fernseher nach Installierung des Subwoofers
verzerrte Farbmuster auftreten, sollten Sie den Abstand zwischen Ihrem TV-Set
und dem Subwoofer vergrößern, bis die Verzerrungen auf ihrem Fernseher
verschwunden sind.

DER USA UND KANADAS

Die gesetzlichen Bestimmungen in bezug auf die für dieses Produkt gegebene
Garantie können je nach Land verschieden sein. Erkundigen Sie sich bei Ihrem
Fachhändler nach den genauen Einzelheiten einer BEGRENZTEN GARANTIE,
