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.
