INTRODUCTION 

Congratulations on your purchase of Mirage Speaker Systems products! Proprietary
technology and high quality manufacturing will allow you to enjoy the most natural and
accurate music reproduction for many years. The advice offered in this manual is aimed at
helping you maximize and maintain peak performance, and therefore, your listening
satisfaction. Please take the time to read all of the instructions contained in this manual to
make certain your system is properly installed and functioning correctly.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

We strongly advise that you resist the temptation to play your Mirage Speaker Systems
speakers to their full capabilities until they have been properly broken in. This process
should last approximately 50 to 100 hours of music playback. This can be easily be done
by putting your compact disc player on Repeat mode, while playing a CD with a wide
dynamic range at average room volume listening levels.

AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS

All Mirage speakers are designed to be extremely efficient. All models are designed to be
8-ohm compatible allowing playback on almost any amplifier or receiver on the market.
Most amplifiers with a power rating of 20-100 watts per channel will effectively operate
your Mirage speakers. 

Warning: If an amplifier or receiver is over-driven, the resulting distortion is
actually many times greater than its rated power. Over-driven amplifier
distortion is called “Clipping”, easily identified by its fuzzy, distorted sound,
and can damage any speaker. The volume control of most amplifiers and
receivers is a logarithmic type, which means that full power may be reached
with the volume control set at as little as the halfway point. Operating the
loudness, treble, or bass controls increases power output well beyond rated
levels. The warranty on your speakers is therefore void if the voice coils are
burned or damaged as a result of overpowering or clipping.

Systems products to protect them in the event of a move or if they need to
