2.5-Way Black Omnisat v2 Series Floorstanding Loudspeaker

The mantra among audiophiles these days seems to be higher performance, less visibility. The demand is rising for streamlined, attractive speakers packing power enough to kickstart a listener's heart. Mirage is there to meet the needs of consumers with the OMNISAT v2, a floorstanding speaker with a 360-degree dispersion pattern and an ultra-sleek, extruding aluminum cabinetry. Featuring Mirage's refined, second-generation OMNIGUIDE technology, it's alone in its class. The OMNISAT v2 creates a soundstage so impressive, walls virtually disappear.

Audiophilic Critics, Reach For Your Thesauruses -- A New Standard Bearer Has Arrived

With the soundstage reproduction offered by the Mirage OMNISAT v2 floorstanding loudspeaker, your friends won't be wondering where you hid your speakers, they'll be wondering where you hid the band. The OMNISAT v2 delivers perfect 360-degree sound dispersion with its newly-refined, second-generation OMNIGUIDE technology. Using a perfectly-angled dispersion saucer in conjunction with 1" Pure Titanium Hybrid tweeter and a 4.5" titanium deposit driver, the OMNIGUIDE system creates an tremendously large, rich sound field; this extensive coverage allows for greater flexibility in speaker placement without compromising the quality of your sound. An innovatively-designed, internally-isolated midrange section eliminates the pipe organ effect so common to tall, thin speakers, allowing the OMNISAT v2 to reproduce amazingly low frequencies with no cabinet distortion. Four passive radiators and two active 4.5" drivers accurately reproduce frequencies all the way down to 55 Hz - something unheard of in a speaker of this kind. This guarantees tight and precise bass for stunning music reproduction. With power handling capabilities of 175 Watts and a frequency response of 55Hz to 20 kHz, this speaker supports your home theater system and your audio components in bringing that 'real life' experience home. So... whether you're into Black Sabbath or Beethoven, you should imagine your favorite music through these speakers, each instrument distinguishable amid the orchestration of the piece. If you close your eyes, you think you're actually attending a live concert. The same goes with NASCAR. It sounds like the race has been rerouted across the middle of your couch. Whether it's the mellow hum of a cello or the full-throated growl of a super-charged engine; it's sound so true, it can only be OMNIPOLAR.

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 floorstander 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 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 glass base round out the overall build quality of these remarkable speakers.
