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 OM
Design 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 one of the world’s largest
speaker manufacturers, supplying products worldwide.
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. 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.
WHAT EXACTLY IS OMNIPOLAR?
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.
2.0 INITIAL SPEAKER PLACEMENT
FRONT SPEAKERS (OMD-15)
For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers should be the same distance
from their respective sidewalls. 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.
When choosing the position for your new speakers, try to avoid walls with
predominately glass surfaces, as they might not be the best choice for placement.
If it is unavoidable to position the OMD-15 close to a glass wall or a large
window, it may result in a hard sound with too much reflected information.
NOTE: Do not install the feet to the OMD-15 until you have completed the
break-in and fine-tuning procedures. Repositioning the speakers with the feet
installed can be very difficult and could potentially cause damage to your floors.
A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between
speaker and listener at approximately 1.2 to 1.5 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 7.2 to 9-feet
(2.16 to 2.4m) away.
Start with the speakers slightly toed in towards the listening area, ideally 2-4
feet from the rear wall and 3-4 feet from the sidewalls, depending on the
width of the listening room.
Do not attempt to fine-tune your audio system yet.This should only be done
once the break-in procedure is finalized.
CENTER CHANNEL (OMD-C1)
The OMD-C1's Omnipolar technology is uniform in dispersion, providing a
perfectly spherical, full spectrum sound radiation pattern that greatly expands
the prime listening area.
The center channel should be positioned at or slightly below ear level. If
possible, try to leave a little bit of space behind the OMD-C1.This will aid in
producing an open soundstage. It is not recommended to place the OMD-C1
on top of a large rear-projection style television set, as this could negatively
impact the sound quality.
The OMD-C1 is magnetically shielded, and it can be placed close to a CRT
based television without causing any interference. In the case where there is
some minor discoloration, simply move the speaker forward or backwards or
away from the television a few inches, this generally resolves the issue.
NOTE: LCD, DLP and Plasma displays do not suffer from magnetic interference.
When the OMD-C1 is installed on top of a television, in a cabinet or on a
shelf, please use the included table top mount. Diagram 1.
The OMD-C1 can be wall mounted by using the included wall bracket. Please
refer to the “mounting your speakers” section for detailed mounting instructions.
Alternatively Mirage's flexible Macromount bracket (sold separately) could be
used. Please visit www.miragespeakers.com for more information.
REAR SPEAKER (OMD-5)
NOTE: The versatile OMD-5 can also be used as a front speaker.The section
about placement for front speaker applies to the OMD-5 when used in such
an application.
The rear speakers can vary greatly in position depending on the room layout,
and the furniture placement. The ideal position is either on the sidewalls, or
rear walls.
Side Wall: This position utilizes the rear walls of the room to reflect sound
and create the "surround" effect.
Rear Wall: This is generally used when the sidewall position is not available to
you, due to furniture placement or room dimensions. It is also used in a 6.1
or 7.1 surround configuration. Both mounting positions have their advantages
and disadvantages, the position offering the best coverage of the entire room
should be chosen.The goal of the surround speakers during movie
reproduction is to create an "atmosphere" around you.The rear channel
speakers are ideally placed an equal distance from you as compared to the
front speakers. But this is not always possible in a home environment.The
OMD-5 will emit sound from both sides of the speaker, and is best placed
where it can use the walls to reflect the sound around the listeners.The best
mounting position for a 5.1 system is the Side Wall position, as it makes use
of the rooms' rear walls, and sidewalls. It will create a lifelike surround effect
and make the room sound larger than it is. In this position, try to mount the
speaker so that it is beside you or slightly behind you.The height should be
above ear level, at approximately 2/3 of the height of the wall.These general
guidelines should aid in positioning choices.

NOTE: When mounting the speakers at a height of under six feet, orient the
OMD-5 speakers in an upright position. When mounting the speaker at a
height of over six feet, orient the OMD-5 speakers in an upside down position
so the grille is facing the floor.This guarantees even tonal balance no matter
which mounting configuration is most suitable for your room. Diagram 2.
You can also achieve excellent results in the rear position.Try not to place
the speakers directly into a corner. Leave 2 or more feet between the edge
of the cabinet and the sidewall, so the sound can reflect into the room
environment.The rear position is usually chosen when your room will not
accommodate the sidewall position due to unequal walls, a doorway, or a
large opening, etc. It is recommended that the rear center (6.1 system) or
dual rear surrounds (7.1) be placed at the same height as the other two rear
surround speakers wherever possible.
3.0 MOUNTING YOUR SPEAKERS
MOUNTING YOUR OMD-5 AND OMD-C1
SPEAKERS
NOTE: The Mounting hardware for the OMD-5 and OMD-C1 can be found
inside the shipping carton.
1. Select the mounting position best suited for your room.
2. Place the wall-mounting bracket against the wall in the desired mounting
location and mark the center of the two holes with a pencil.This is where
you need to insert the appropriate mounting hardware to securely fasten
a load of the speaker. Hardware is not included with the speaker, as building
materials vary greatly in different countries, but the recommended screw
head size is a #8. Screw length is to be determined by the wall material.
3. If you are mounting directly to drywall, please ensure that you use the
appropriate anchors, as screws into drywall itself will not provide a secure
mount. Insert the anchors, and then hold the mounting bracket up to the
wall. Insert the screws until tight.Try to locate into wall studs wherever
possible. Diagram 3
4. Screw the included bolt into the insert in the back of the OMD-5 or
OMD-C1 speaker, located above the terminal cup. Hand tighten the bolt
all the way, and then loosen a few turns counter clockwise. Place the two
included rubber bumpers on the back of the speaker, on either side of the
speaker terminals. Diagram 4.
5. Hold the speaker upright, and insert the bolt head into the large hole. Let
the speaker slide down into place. Diagram 5.
4.0 CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS
CABLES AND AMPLIFICATION
Use the best quality speaker cables you have available.The length and type of
speaker cable used in your system can have an audible effect and allow you
to maximize the transmission of power from your amplifier to the speakers.
We recommend, if possible, that short runs of speaker cable connect the
power amplifier(s) and speakers and that high-quality long interconnect cables
be used to connect the preamplifier and power amplifier.This results in the
power amplifiers being close to the speakers, which may be practically or
cosmetically difficult. However, if the length of the speaker cables can be
reduced to a few meters, sonic advantages may be obtained.
WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making or breaking any signal
connections!
CONNECTING YOUR SPEAKERS
TO YOUR SYSTEM
All of the models in the OM Design Series feature high quality gold plated
binding post connectors.The OM Design series will accept a variety of
connector types including spade lugs, banana plugs, or pin type connectors.
The best connector in our opinion is the "Spade lug" as it provides more
contact area with the terminal and allows the binding post to be tightened
for a secure connection. Audiophiles and novices alike have preferences as to
which connector type they favor, speak with your Authorized Mirage retailer
as to which is the best for your Audio Video System. Rest assured, plain
speaker wire is more than acceptable, you can always upgrade your wires
and/or connectors later on. Remove the plastic red or black insert. The plastic
insert is a mandatory security measure, as dictated by many local and federal
government associations.
To Connect your speaker system: Start at one speaker, and connect one
channel at a time, starting with the front speakers. Always ensure that the
entire A/V system is powered OFF before performing any connections.The
positive and negative (red and black) sides of the speaker terminals MUST
match the positive and negative (red and black) terminals of the receiver or
amplifier. If they do not match, abnormal sound and a lack of bass response
will result. After connecting the front speakers, connect the rest of the
speakers to their appropriate channels of the receiver or amplifier.The three
connection methods and their explanations include:
TRADITIONAL CONNECTION METHOD
(OMD-15, OMD-5 OR OMD-C1)
1. Using your choice of speaker wire and termination method, connect the
speaker cable (minding the positive and negative polarities), to the lower
set of connectors. Ensure the terminals are tight. The gold “shorting straps”
that connect the lower and upper connections must remain in place
(OMD-15 only). Diagram 6.
2. Repeat the procedure for the second speaker.
BI-WIRE METHOD (OMD-15 ONLY)
This method involves using multiple cables and connectors, to access two sets
of terminals on the OM Design loudspeakers simultaneously.The benefit of
bi-wiring is to reduce noise, as you will have twice the thickness of cable
between the amp and speakers as the traditional method would provide. For
more details on the benefits of bi-wiring, please discuss this with your
authorized MIRAGE®retailer.
Before starting, remove the gold “shorting straps”, which connect the top and
bottom set of input terminals of the OMD-15.To remove the straps, loosen
all of the connectors and pull the straps away from the binding posts. Make
sure you put them in a safe place for future use.
Then simply connect two separate set of wires to the four binding posts.
Diagram 7
BI-AMPLIFICATION (OMD-15 ONLY)
The OM Design series can also be connected to multiple amplifiers.Two
amplifiers in the case of the OMD-15 can further enhance the performance
of the OM Design series. However, choosing quality electronics is a crucial
part in achieving the full benefit of bi-amping. Please consult your authorized
Mirage dealer for recommendations on adequate electronics. Please follow
the same steps as described in the section above. Instead of connecting two
sets of wires to one amplifier, simply connect one set of speaker wires to
each amplifier. Diagram 8.
