INTRODUCTION
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
OMNISAT system has resulted in a significant
improvement over other system designs in terms
of performance and aesthetics.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
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 and one of the largest speaker
manufacturers in North America, supplying
products to over fifty-five countries worldwide.
The API factory is a modern 165, 000 square
foot research, development and manufacturing
facility located in Scarborough, a suburb of
Toronto, Canada. More than 280 people are
employed in this state of the art facility,
designing, manufacturing, and marketing Mirage
transducers, cabinets, amplifiers and crossovers. A
talented research and development team utilizes
advanced computer-based design techniques and
three anechoic chambers in an ongoing
development program. A talented research and
development team utilizes advanced computer-
based design and sophisticated measurement
techniques in its ongoing quest for new and
better acoustic technologies.
THE OMNISAT SYSTEM
The main goal of the new OMNISAT series was
to provide a product with the most natural,
accurate performance and seamless, home
theater blending. This was accomplished by
using Mirage’s proprietary Omnipolar technology
in 5 identical satellites. 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. Five identical satellites for the front,
center and surround channels guarantee the
same tonal and timbre characteristics to further
enhance the life-like, Omnipolar experience.
What exactly is Omnipolar?
Omnipolar technology uses natural room
reflections to create a greater sense of realism.
This realism is accomplished by recreating the
same ratio of direct to reflected sound found in
nature, 70% reflected and 30% direct. A
traditional speaker can only produce 30%
reflected sound. It is the required additional
reflected sound provided by an Omnipolar
speaker that creates the Omnipolar three-
dimensional sound experience.
Stand Mount Options
The OMNISAT series provides a large choice of
installation options to integrate into any decor.
The OMNISAT stand, purchased seperately,
provides a beautiful stand mount option.
The bottom of the OMNISAT is molded to
accomodate the supplied mounting clip.This clip
is supplied with the speaker only, not with the
stand. Screw this clip to the top of the
OMNISAT stand. Slide the satellite onto the clip
now attached to the stand and it is installed.
