4.0 connecting your speakers

CABLES AND AMPLIFICATION
Use the best quality speaker cables you have available.
The length and type of speaker cable used in your
system can have an audible effect and allow you to
maximize the transmission of power from your
amplifier to the speakers.
We recommend, if possible, that short runs of speaker
cable connect the power amplifier(s) and speakers and
that high-quality long interconnect cables be used to
connect the preamplifier and power amplifier. This
results in the power amplifiers being close to the
speakers, which may be practically or cosmetically
difficult. However, if the length of the speaker cables
can be reduced to a few meters, sonic advantages
may be obtained.
WARNING! Turn your amplifier off before making
or breaking any signal connections!
CONNECTING YOUR
SPEAKERS TO YOUR SYSTEM
All of the models in the OM Design Series feature high
quality gold plated binding post connectors. The
OMD-R uses a slightly different design of binding post
connectors then the other models in this series,
allowing the speaker to be mounted flush to the wall.
The functionality of all connectors is the same, and as
such the following description can be applied to all
models.
The OM Design series will accept a variety of
connector types including spade lugs, banana plugs,
or pin type connectors. The best connector in our
opinion is the "Spade lug" as it provides more contact
area with the terminal and allows the binding post to
be tightened for a secure connection. Audiophiles and
novices alike have preferences as to which connector
type they favor, speak with your Authorized Mirage
retailer as to which is the best for your Audio Video
System. Rest assured, plain speaker wire is more than
acceptable, you can always upgrade your wires and/or
connectors later on.
Remove the plastic red or black insert. The plastic
insert is a mandatory security measure, as dictated by
many local and federal government associations.
To Connect your speaker system: Start at one speaker,
and connect one channel at a time, starting with the
front speakers. Always ensure that the entire A/V
system is powered OFF before performing any
connections. The positive and negative (red and black)
sides of the speaker terminals MUST match the
positive and negative (red and black) terminals of the
receiver or amplifier. If they do not match, abnormal
sound and a lack of bass response will result. After
connecting the front speakers, connect the rest of the
speakers to their appropriate channels of the receiver
or amplifier. The three connection methods and their
explanations include:

You can also achieve excellent results in the rear
position. Try not to place the speakers directly into a
corner. Leave 2 or more feet between the edge of the
cabinet and the sidewall, so the sound can reflect into
the room environment. The rear position is usually
chosen when your room will not accommodate the
sidewall position due to unequal walls, a doorway, or
a large opening, etc. It is recommended that the rear
center (6.1 system) or dual rear surrounds (7.1) be
placed at the same height as the other two rear
surround speakers wherever possible.
MOUNTING YOUR OMD-R
SPEAKERS
NOTE: THE OMD-R FEATURES A VERY SIMPLE WALL
MOUNTING SYSTEM. CAREFUL ATTENTION MUST BE
MADE TO MOUNT IT SECURELY AS THE SPEAKER IS
HEAVY AND DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT AND/OR
INJURY COULD RESULT FROM IMPROPER MOUNTING.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!
NOTE: THE MOUNTING HARDWARE FOR THE OMD-R
CAN BE FOUND ON TOP OF ONE OF THE PROTECTIVE
FOAM PIECES INSIDE THE SHIPPING CARTON. THEY
ARE TAPED INTO ONE CORNER, AND SHOULD BE
VISIBLE WHEN YOU OPEN THE OMD-R PACKAGING.
1. Select the mounting position best suited for your
room.
2. Place the wall-mounting bracket against the wall in
the desired mounting location and mark the center
of the two holes with a pencil. This is where you
need to insert the appropriate mounting hardware
to securely fasten a load of 22 lbs. Hardware is not
included with the speaker, as building materials
vary greatly in different countries, but the
recommended screw head size is a #8. Screw
length is to be determined by the wall material.
3. If you are mounting directly to drywall, please ensure
that you use the appropriate anchors, as screws
into drywall itself will not provide a secure mount.
Insert the anchors, and then hold the mounting
bracket up to the wall. Insert the screws until tight.
Try to locate into wall studs wherever possible.
4. Screw the included bolt into the insert in the back
of the OMD-R speaker, located above the terminal
cup. Hand tighten the bolt all the way, and then
loosen a few turns counter clockwise. Place the
two included rubber bumpers on the back of the
speaker, on either side of the back label.
5. Hold the speaker upright, and insert the bolt head
into the large hole. Let the speaker slide down into
place.

3.0 initial speaker placement

OMD-C2 CENTER CHANNEL
The OMD-C2's Omnipolar technology is uniform in
dispersion, providing a perfectly spherical, full
spectrum sound radiation pattern that greatly
expands the prime listening area.
The center channel should be positioned at or slightly
below ear level. If possible, try to leave a little bit of
space behind the OMD-C2. This will aid in producing
an open soundstage. It is not recommended to place
the OMD-C2 on top of a large rear-projection style
television set, as this could negatively impact the
sound quality.
The OMD-C2 is magnetically shielded, and it can be
placed close to a CRT based television without causing
any interference. In the case where there is some
minor discoloration, simply move the speaker forward
or backwards or away from the television a few
inches, this generally resolves the issue.
NOTE: LCD, DLP AND PLASMA DISPLAYS DO NOT
SUFFER FROM MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE.
The best performance can be achieved by using the
matching OMD-C2 stand as it offers the perfect
height for the OMD-C2 center channel. Please visit
www.miragespeakers.com for more information on
this stand.
OMD-R
The rear speakers can vary greatly in position
depending on the room layout, and the furniture
placement. The ideal position is either on the
sidewalls, or rear walls.
Side Wall: This position utilizes the rear walls of the
room to reflect sound and create the "surround"
effect. Rear Wall: This is generally used when the
sidewall position is not available to you, due to
furniture placement or room dimensions. It is also
used in a 6.1 or 7.1 surround configuration. Both
mounting positions have their advantages and
disadvantages, the position offering the best coverage
of the entire room should be chosen. The goal of the
surround speakers during movie reproduction is to
create an "atmosphere" around you. The rear channel
speakers are ideally placed an equal distance from you
as compared to the front speakers. But this is not
always possible in a home environment. The OMD-R
will emit sound from both sides of the speaker, and is
best placed where it can use the walls to reflect the
sound around the listeners. The best mounting
position for a 5.1 system is the Side Wall position, as
it makes use of the rooms' rear walls, and sidewalls. It
will create a lifelike surround effect and make the
room sound larger than it is. In this position, try to
mount the speaker so that it is beside you or slightly
behind you. The height should be above ear level, at
approximately 2/3 of the height of the wall. 6 feet off
of the ground is typically a good starting point, and
the speaker should be 2 feet above your head when
seated. These general guidelines should aid in
positioning choices.

3.0 initial speaker placement

OMD-28 FRONT SPEAKERS
For best stereo imaging, the left and right speakers
should be the same distance from their respective
sidewalls. If the distance from one speaker to the
listener is very different from the other it can affect the
soundstage or stereo imaging. Therefore, the ideal
position is having the speakers equidistant to the
listener.
When choosing the position for your new speakers,
try to avoid walls with predominately glass surfaces, as
they might not be the best choice for placement. If it
is unavoidable to position the OMD-28s close to a
glass wall or a large window, it may result in a hard
sound with too much reflected information.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE FEET TO THE OMD-28
UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE BREAK-IN AND
FINE-TUNING PROCEDURES. REPOSITIONING THE
SPEAKERS WITH THE FEET INSTALLED CAN BE VERY
DIFFICULT AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO YOUR FLOORS.
A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up
the space between speaker and listener at
approximately 1.2 to 1.5 times the distance between
the speakers. For example, if the speakers are ideally
placed a minimum of 6-feet (1.8m) apart, the best
seating position would be 7.2 to 9-feet (2.16 to 2.4m)
away.
Start with the speakers slightly toed in towards the
listening area, ideally 2-4 feet from the rear wall and
3-4 feet from the sidewalls, depending on the width
of the listening room.
Do not attempt to fine-tune your audio system yet.
This should only be done once the break-in procedure
is finalized.
