Mirage OS³-FS - Manual (Page 3)

SURROUND CHANNEL
The surround speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly behind the
primary listening area, on the rear or side wall or on the ceiling to provide a
sense of spaciousness and ambience for all Surround Sound formats. These
speakers should ideally be placed above ear level for best performance. See
diagram 3.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
OS 3 SATELLITE
The small size and Omnipolar dispersion of the versatile OS 3 Satellite speakers
permits them to be easily wall mounted. The OS 3 Satellite comes equipped with
its own specifically designed wall bracket. The bracket allows for two simple
installation alternatives:
a. Carefully drive a #8 screw into a stud in the wall, leaving approximately 1/4 inch
of the screw exposed, then mount the OS 3 Satellite like you would a picture.
Note: Failure to attach the screw safely to a secure spot on the wall can result in
damage or injury. When mounting the speaker at a height of under six feet,
orient the OS
3 Satellite in an upright position. Slide the head of the screw into
the wide portion of the channel opening and slide the OS 3 Satellite downward
until it sits in position. When mounting the speaker at a height of over six feet,
orient the OS
3 Satellite in an upside down position so the grille is facing the floor
and use the bottom key-way channel. Slide the head of the screw into the wide
portion of the channel opening and slide the OS
3 Satellite downward until it sits
in position. See Diagrams 2a, 3
b. Start by marking the bracket's screw positions on the wall with a pencil, then
screw the bracket to the wall. Drywall anchors are recommended for any drywall
wall mount installation to ensure a solid installation. After the bracket has been
mounted to the wall, the OS
3 Satellite speaker can simply be mounted to the
bracket by tightening the included bolt to the bottom of the OS 3 . See Diagrams
2b, 3
CEILING MOUNT: The OS 3 Satellite speakers can also be ceiling mounted. Please
follow the same instructions outlined in section b above.
OS 3 CC CENTER CHANNEL
1. Choose the desired mounting position. If possible, find a position on the wall
that allows the OS 3 CC to be mounted directly to a wall stud. Attach the
mounting template (included in the box) to the desired position by using tape or
small nails. (Diagram 6)
IMPORTANT: The arrows on the template should point in the same direction
as the grill. If the OS
3 CC is mounted below 6 feet, the grille should face
upwards and therefore the arrows on the template should also point
upwards. If the OS
3 CC is mounted above 6 feet, the grille should face
downwards, and similarly the arrows on the template should also point
downwards.
2. Using a level, ensure the template is attached level to the wall. It is critical that
the template is level as a mistake at this stage will result in uneven mounting of
(Diagram 7)
3. Outline the two rectangular boxes. Mark the smaller box with an X. The smaller
box is needed for the wire management outlining the recommended wall cut-
out. (Diagram 8)
4. After the template has been removed, use a drywall saw to cut out the smaller
rectangular box marked with an X. Please note that this step is only required if
the wires will be fed through the wall. If a different wire management system is
being used, please ignore this step. (Diagram 9)
5. Mount the wall bracket into position. The use of proper anchors for all screws is
required to ensure a secure installation. Please note that screws and anchors are
not included in the OS
3 CC package. (Diagram 10)
6. Feed the wires through the hole cut out. (Diagram 11)
7. Connect the wires to the appropriate binding posts at the back of the OS 3 CC.
IMPORTANT: Connect the speaker wire from the positive (RED +) terminal on
the amplifier to the positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the
negative (BLACK-) terminal on the amplifier to the negative (BLACK-)
terminal on the speaker.
8. After the wires are connected, hang the OS 3 CC on the wall bracket. Center
the OS 3 CC and push down lightly on the speaker to achieve a tight fit between
the speaker and the bracket. If the speaker is not centered, repeat this step.
