INTRODUCTION
We are proud to welcome you as a new owner of a
MIRAGE speaker. 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 systems costing several times their price.
This approach to the development of the MIRAGE
system has resulted in a significant improvement over
other system designs in terms of performance and
aesthetics.
THE MIRAGE MX SERIES
The main goal of this 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. 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.
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.
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
RECOMMENDED CONNECTION FOR
DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/DOLBY PROLOGIC
II SYSTEMS
1. Arrange the MIRAGE MX satellites and subwoofer
in a Home Theater configuration. See Diagrams G
and H.
2. Connect all five speakers with speaker wire to their
respective speaker outputs on the back of the
amplifier/receiver. Be sure to respect the polarity of
the wire. Connect the speaker wire from the
positive (RED +) terminal on the receiver/amplifier
to the positive (RED+) terminal on the satellite.
Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the
receiver/amplifier to the negative (BLACK-)
terminal on the satellite. See Diagram B.

3. Connect the subwoofer from the Subwoofer
Output on the back of the A/V Receiver or
processor to the input on the subwoofer.
4. MIRAGE suggests using the Small setting in the
bass management set-up of your Dolby Digital
system for all speakers.
5. MIRAGE suggests setting the bass management
crossover of your A/V Receiver or processor to
120Hz. (Or as close to 120Hz as possible). If your
A/V Receiver or processor does not have a variable
crossover, please proceed to the next step.
NOTE: When using the receiver for bass
management, the internal filter of the
subwoofer should be bypassed by turning the
u
Low Pass Filter completely to the right.
6. Balance the sound output of the speakers by using
the pink noise test pattern generated by your A/V
Receiver or processor, adjusting the system so all
speakers produce the same output level.
7. When setting your subwoofer level, be sure that
the setting on your A/V Receiver or processor
remains as close to flat as possible. Boosting or
cutting the subwoofer output on your A/V Receiver
or processor may produce poor sound quality.
Instead, use volume control on the back of the
MIRAGE MX Subwoofer for fine tuning.
You are now ready to enjoy your MIRAGE MX System.

CONNECTIONS
The MIRAGE MX Series is equipped with high quality
binding posts ideally suited for bare wire connections.
In order to connect the wires, push down on the rubber
insert located on the underside of the cabinet. Pushing
down on this insert will activate the spring loaded
terminals hidden below it and will line up the terminals
with the small holes in the back of the cabinet.
Carefully insert bare wire (maximum of 14 gauge) into
the openings. Alternatively, the rubber insert at the
bottom of the cabinet can easily be removed with a
paper clip. Once the insert is removed, simply follow the
steps indicated above. Diagram E.
