6.0 INSTALLATION OF ISOLATION
FEET - SPIKES (OMD-15 ONLY)
Once you have completed the fine-tuning process and have found the ideal
position for the speakers in your room, you are ready to install the feet of the
OMD-15. In order to install the feet, please follow these two easy steps:
NOTE: Two persons are required in order to safely install the feet of the
OMD-15.
1. With one person securely holding the OMD-15 cabinet in place, slightly tip
the cabinet towards that person so that the bottom of the base is partially
exposed
2. The other person can now screw the feet into one of the four the
threaded inserts found at the bottom of the base Repeat these steps until
all four feet are securely installed.
7.0 CLEANING AND CABINET CARE
The cabinets of your new OM Design speakers are constructed of the finest
quality veneers and hardwoods available and are protected with hand rubbed
superior quality urethane finishes. Great care should be taken when cleaning
the cabinet. Properly maintaining the fine finish will enhance your home's
decor and preserve the value of your new speakers for many years to come.
AVOIDING FINISH DAMAGE
Your OM Design speaker cabinets, like all woodwork, are subject to
expansion and contraction with humidity changes. Excessive wood movement
can eventually cause the finish to develop tiny cracks and even separate the
finish from the wood. Moderating the temperature and humidity swings
around the speakers will help to preserve their finish as well as their overall
structure.Try to maintain a fairly even temperature in your listening room.
Place the speakers away from drafts, dampness, and heat sources.
ALWAYS AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT - as sunlight will age the finish
prematurely and cause color fading.
DUSTING YOUR SPEAKERS
Dust is very abrasive, and can scratch the finish if wiped off with a dry cloth.
To avoid scratching, dust the speakers lightly with a feather duster. Alternatively,
wipe lightly with a soft damp cloth to pick up the dust, followed immediately
with a dry cloth.The cloths should be made of soft cotton such as flannel.
Coarse or synthetic fabrics can scratch some finishes. A cleaning cloth is
supplied in your speaker package.
NOTE: Do not touch, or attempt to clean the metal dome tweeter.
Irreparable damage will occur!
CLEANING THE FINISH
To remove smudges and fingerprints, first dust as described above.Then use
the supplied cleaning cloth to gently clean the speakers. If heavier cleaning is
necessary, dampen your cloth with a small amount of mild soap solution.
NOTE: When cleaning or polishing the lacquer finish of the OM Design
cabinet, avoid hard pressure to avoid scratches to the finish.
TO POLISH OR NOT?
Before using polish on your speakers, be sure it is actually necessary and
beneficial. In general, Mirage Speakers recommends against using polishes
because of the potential for damage to the finish. Common household
products such as "lemon oil" or inexpensive "furniture polish" should be
avoided. Despite the labels' claims that they "protect" the finish or "feed" the
wood, they offer no protection from scratching and can actually soften the
finish if over-used. Aerosol products should be avoided altogether.
Always test a new polish in a inconspicuous area of your speaker - one good
location for example would be the area slightly above the binding posts.
NOTE: Please ensure that poloshing or cleaning substances so not come in
contact with the drivers of the OM Design Series, as this could permanently
damage your speakers.
If you are uncertain about the care of your speaker's finish, please consult
your authorized Mirage dealer.
