INTRODUCTION
We are proud to welcome you as a new owner of a MIRAGE speaker system. The finest
components and materials are manufactured to exacting standards and tested with
sophisticated manufacturing and quality control techniques to ensure exceptional performance
that is superior to speakers costing several times their price. This approach to the development
of the MIRAGE OmniVibe has resulted in a significant improvement over other system designs

COMPANY BACKGROUND
MIRAGE loudspeakers and subwoofers are designed and manufactured by Audio Products
International Corp., known throughout the industry as "API". A Canadian company founded in
1973, API is one of the world's largest speaker manufacturers, supplying products worldwide.
The renowned MIRAGE research team advances its speaker development through the use of
computer-based design techniques combined with multiple listening rooms and anechoic
chambers. A dedicated team of engineering, marketing, and manufacturing people creates the
finest speakers in the world for your ultimate music or home theater listening pleasure. Now it's
time to set up your system and experience the miracle of MIRAGE Omnipolar sound.
WHAT EXACTLY IS OMNIPOLAR?
Omnipolar technology uses natural room reflections to create a greater sense of realism. This is
accomplished by recreating the same ratio of direct to reflected sound - 70% reflected and
30% direct, that is typically found in performance spaces. A conventional speaker only produces
30% reflected sound. It is the additional reflected sound provided by a MIRAGE Omnipolar
speaker that creates a miraculous three-dimensional sound experience in your home.
