Compact. Versatile. Room-filling.
The Mirage OS3-Sat is sold as a single speaker simply because its combination of a 1" tweeter, 4.5" midrange driver, and Mirage's patented Omnipolar® technology make it one of the most versatile speakers available. Choose to use the OS3-Sat as part of a front- or rear-channel speaker pair (using the included brackets to mount to the wall or ceiling), or as a single center channel speaker, and experience room-filling, 360° audio from a compact loudspeaker enclosure. Thanks to the OS3-Sat's magnetic shielding, it's safe to place this speaker near other A/V components without the risk of damage or interference.
Better sound, from every component
Sure, in the end, a speaker's driver cone produces the audio you listen to, but in order to produce stunning, full, clear audio, a cone has to have a fine-tuned support system. Take for example the surround, or the component that helps keep the cone centered, allowing for freedom of motion. Thanks to Mirage's patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, the OS3-Sat is capable of reproducing midrange and low-frequency audio characterized by increased excursion, reduced distortion, and improved efficiency. The Elliptical Surround encompasses the cone, allowing it to move identically in both directions, resulting in near zero distortion. And while conventional designs are often plagued with surround dimpling, which causes them to radiate in and out of phase and distort at all listening levels, Mirage's design isn't influenced by dimpling at all. Further, Ribbed Elliptical Surrounds allow for a larger cone surface, resulting in greater efficiency. This design also lets the cone achieve greater peak-to-peak movement, thus allowing it to travel more than double the distance of other cones. These attributes enable Mirage drivers to move incredible amounts of air, ultimately allowing them to play lower frequencies with greater bass extension and fidelity. Mirage's OS3-Sat offers better sound, from every component.
Omnipolar® technology offers lifelike sound
The advanced sound-reproduction technology featured on Mirage's OS3-FS floorstander can be summed up in one word — Omnipolar. Research shows that in live musical environments, about 30% of what a person hears is direct sound, while the remaining 70% consists of reflected sound. The brain uses direct sound for identification and localization, and uses reflected sound to determine musicality and spaciousness. Unfortunately, the front-firing driver design used in most loudspeakers produces the opposite ratio: 70% direct sound to 30% reflected sound. Omnipolar technology, on the other hand, restores the balance. The OS3-Sat's patented Omniguide module employs two deflectors to create a 360° soundscape. While the first deflector is placed above the tweeter, the second deflector houses the tweeter and is placed above the midrange driver. This specific arrangement of drivers and reflectors makes it possible for any Mirage speaker featuring Omnipolar technology to permeate your listening area with enveloping, high-fidelity sound.
