The Best Of Every World
The incredibly low-profile OMNISAT v2 satellite speaker is the most versatile product in Mirage's recently refined, second-generation Omnipolar line. It can be used as a front speaker, a center channel, or a surround speaker. The OMNISAT v2 satellite can be mixed and matched with the OMNISAT v2 center channel and/or the OMNISAT v2 floorstander. Alternatively, a battery of satellites can be placed around the room as a complete home theater system. The amazing sonic performance, elegant design, and unlimited mounting options also make the OMNISAT v2 the ideal speaker for a dedicated two-channel stereo set-up, when space is at a premium. Add one of Mirage's OMNI subwoofers, and you have a phenomenal 2.1 stereo set-up. The OMNISAT v2 satellite features a 4.5" Polypropylene Titanium Deposit Hybrid Woofer and Mirage's proprietary 1" PTH Tweeter with OMNIGUIDE module, which delivers perfect 360-degree sound dispersion for brilliant, soulful sound reproduction.
How We Hear What We Hear When We Hear The Things We Hear
Research proves that in a live musical environment, approximately 30% of what we hear is direct sound while 70% is reflected from walls, ceilings, and floors and only reaches our ears a few milliseconds after the direct sound. The human brain uses direct sound for identification and to calculate location, but uses reflected sound to determine musicality and spaciousness, as well as direction.� If this reflected sound arrives at our ears with inadequate high frequency content, then the reproduced music is identified by the brain as artificial.� A speaker capable of recreating the correct direct-to-reflected ratio would therefore reproduce sound with far greater realism and faithfulness to the original instrument and environment. Guess what: that's exactly what the OMNISAT v2 Satellite delivers, using Mirage's newly-refined OMNIPOLAR technology. The effect OMNIPOLAR speakers have in a home theater system is markedly unlike traditional forward-radiating speakers. OMNIPOLAR speakers have incorporated the latest acoustical research and use walls, ceilings, and other surface areas in the room to reflect sound towards the listener. With more reflected sound than direct sound reaching the listener, a tremendously large soundstage is created that makes the listener believe the sound is virtually coming from beyond the walls. Mirage's innovative technology creates the most realistic sound you could ever imagine. With OMNIPOLAR technology, you no longer have a small "sweet spot" in which to enjoy your speakers. With Mirage, the entire room is a sweet spot.
25 Years Of Making Waves
For 30 years, Mirage has researched the ways humans perceive, capture and comprehend sound. Critics raved as Mirage, led by acclaimed audio engineer Ian Paisley and his protege Andrew Welker, delivered both trendsetting design and award-winning products. Among these was the world's first bipolar speaker, the M-1, which revolutionized the industry in 1987 by dramatically increasing sound dispersion, turning flat recordings into full-bodied, near-realistic performances. Mirage now launches a speaker so advanced, the world of sound as you know it will be completely shattered. The OMNISAT v2 series refines Mirage's unique, patent-pending Omnipolar technology to radiate sound in a full 360 degree spherical spectrum, enveloping you in a musical heaven like you have never experienced before. Pioneering research, state of the art engineering, and out-of-the-box thinking have produced a speaker so advanced, you will go quickly from admiring the design (easy enough to do) to marvelling at the nuances of the music and the complexity of the arrangement. This is sound with such unparalleled depth and feel, it could almost be live.
What's Under The Hood
The OMNISAT v2 series speakers feature some of the finest components, materials, and manufacturing techniques available today. These speakers pack a punch because they combine innovative design and state-of-the-art materials into one revolutionary speaker. They feature the latest generation of OMNIGUIDE technology including the famous Pure Titanium Hybrid (PTH) tweeter - which first made its appearance in the legendary Mirage M1si, the world's best-known Bipolar speaker. PTH tweeters earned worldwide recognition for their crystal clear and lifelike high-frequency reproduction, low distortion, and wide dispersion. The PTH tweeter dome is mated to a compliant cloth suspension, eliminating the harsh ringing effect often found with metal domes. The new Mirage 4.5 mid-bass driver is constructed with injection-molded polypropylene, impregnated with graphite, carbon, mica, then titanium coated, to provide increased strength and rigidity in a super-light cone. High-quality, extruded-aluminum enclosures, high-end crossover network and wiring, and a stable base round out the overall build quality of these remarkable speakers.
