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 properly 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 speakers 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.

o m n i p o l a r - S e r i e s

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 permit 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.

Start this process by removing the shorting straps.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 large interior 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 drivers.

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 incorporates 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 personal 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 start of a parabolic curve, 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 predetermined 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 every 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. Mirage engineers don't tolerate compromise, they invent solutions.

o m n i p o l a r - S e r i e s

Mirage has developed a home theater speaker with a 360 degree radiation pattern that delivers precise dialog placement while at the same time imparting 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 pattern 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 distortion 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 dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towel or other abrasive materials 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 cabinetry.

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 Fernsehund Radioempfang verursachen.Wir können jedoch keine Gewähr geben, daß solche Störungen in einer konkreten Anlage nicht auftreten. Sollte das Gerät den Radiound 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 vergrößern;

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

•Radiohändler oder erfahrenen Radio-/Fernsehtechniker 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 Apparaten 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 Isolierung 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 ergeben, 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.

GARANTIE AUSSERHALB

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, die in Ihrem Land gilt.

WICHTIG: Bitte Verpackungsmaterial dieses Mirage-Produktes aufbewahren, damit es im Falle eines Versandes zur Reparatur an einen Kundendienst geschützt ist.
