The next generation
Way back in 2002, Mirage introduced the first generation of OMNI Series speakers. This was the first traditional box speaker series that featured Omnipolar technology. The OMNI Series set the standard in manufacturing quality, reliability, and affordability. Now, Mirage is introducing a second generation that boasts the same hallmarks as the first. The OMNI 550, the flagship floorstanding speaker in the series, offers the perfect combination of cabinet size, advanced speaker technology and affordability — guaranteeing that this speaker will impress at the highest level.
How Omnipolar speakers work
Mirage's superior loudspeaker technology can be voiced in a single word — Omnipolar. Research shows that in live musical environments, about 30% of what we hear is direct sound while 70% is reflected sound from walls, ceilings, and floors that reaches our ears a few milliseconds after the direct sound. The brain uses direct sound for identification and to establish location, but uses the reflected sound to determine musicality and spaciousness, as well as direction. Conventional direct-radiating speakers with front-mounted drivers produce the opposite ratio of direct to reflected sound, or 70% direct to 30% reflected.
What makes it "flagship"
The OMNI 550 features two 6.5" multi-layered fiberglass composite drivers and a 1" aluminum dome tweeter mounted in a cleverly designed rear ported curved speaker cabinet. One of the 6.5" drivers is used as a woofer that reproduces bass frequencies up to a crossover point of 700Hz. The other 6.5" driver is mounted in a precisely aligned angle on top of the cabinet. It acts as a midbass driver, reproducing all bass and midrange frequencies to the tweeter crossover point of 2.2 kHz. The 6.5" mid-bass driver and the 1" aluminum dome tweeter are mounted in Mirage's exclusive OMNIGUIDE array. OMNIGUIDE allows the speaker to distribute sound in a spherical 360° pattern, the same way sound is created in nature, so your music will sound realistic and life-like. The other key benefit of OMNIPOLAR speakers is that the uniform dispersion pattern fills out the entire listening room, not just a single seat in the sweet spot. So invite your friends and family and share the experience. Home theater is not just about watching a movie; with OMNIPOLAR technology, you will experience it.
A sight for sore ears
So many speakers on the market today are housed in bulky, unattractive boxes. It's hard to put together a home theater system that looks as good as it sounds. But the OMNI 550 lets you do exactly that. The flawlessly finished curved cabinet of the OMNI 550 elegantly floats over a high gloss black base, which further increases the overall visual appeal of this unique loudspeaker.
