8) Carefully remove the plastic cover that protects the Pure Titanium Hybrid Tweeter. Play
(break-in) the speakers for a few hours at normal listening levels and then experiment by
rotating the OMNIGUIDE module to determine the ideal position. Since the soundfield
created by an OMNICAN speaker is very uniform, only subtle changes in sound may be
perceived. Do not proceed with the next step until you are satisfied with the orientation of
the OMNIGUIDE, as removing the grille of the speaker can be a bit tricky. (Diagram 10)
9) To reattach the grille to the speaker, work in a circular fashion, gradually fitting the grille
into the bezel. (Diagram 11)
10) In order to rotate the speaker at a later point in time, take off the grille, slightly loosen the
four screws, and rotate the OMNICAN into the desired direction.
NOTE: The OC-55 and OC-65 back-boxes can be removed if space is limited in
your installation. A second set of binding posts is included inside the
enclosure to allow the speakers to be easily connected. Remove the four
screws located on the back of the enclosure and follow the installation
instructions as per the above. (Diagram 12)
OUTDOOR / HIGH HUMIDITY USE:
The OMNICAN series speakers are weather resistant and can be used for under eave
mounting and in environments with relatively high humidity, such as bathrooms. However,
the below guidelines should be followed in order to ensure a long life expectancy for your
speakers:
• When used outdoors, do not mount the speakers with the tweeter module facing upwards,
as rain could get into the speakers and damage internal components
• Do not use speakers in very harsh conditions, such as on yachts, steam saunas or in areas
exposed to extreme heat. If in doubt about your specific application, please consult your
Mirage retailer for further information.
• When used without a back-box, ensure that the area behind the speaker is protected from
direct water exposure (i.e. do not mount the speakers under an eave when you may have
a leaking roof)
