BOOKSHElF/ENTERTAINMENT UNIT PLACEMENT
The small size and OMNIPOLAR'· dispersion of the versatile NANOSAT permits
them to be easily placed, among other places, in a bookshelf. To maximize the
OMNIPOLAR'· dispersion potential, bring the speaker as close to the front of the
cabinet as possible.
CONNECfIONS
@
The MIRAGE NANOSAT Series is equipped with high quality binding posts that
permit the use of banana plugs, spades, or a bare wire connection.
Connect the speaker wire from the positive (RED +) terminal on the amp to the
positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal
on the amplifier to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker. See Diagram 1.
SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
The placement of your new MIRAGE subwoofer is critical to its performance. The
three most common locations include: in the corner of the room (which can result
in a boomy or exaggerated low frequency response), placement along one wall but
out of the corner (moderate bass performance with increased fidelity over corner
placement), or alongside a front speaker (creating a better blend with the front
speaker, but sacrificing overall volume). Experimentation with subwoofer placement
is highly encouraged, as slight adjustments can create large benefits in sound
reproduction. To further test subwoofer placement, install the subwoofer
temporarily in your main listening position and while playing a familiar piece of
music, walk around the listening room until you find the best sounding position.
This is a possible location for the subwoofer to be placed.

APPLICATIONS
CONNECTING YOUR MIRAGE
SUBWOOFER
CAUTION: All power should be turned off to your system before any
connections are made. Careful attention should be taken to ensure that all
electronic components are not connected to an AC source. Not doing so could
result in potential damage to the system.
On the rear of the receiver/pre-amp there should be a single RCA type jack
marked "Subwoofer/Pre-Amp Out". Connect a single RCA cable from that
jack to the 0 LINE IN/SUB IN on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male
to male RCA cable is needed.
2 After connecting the single e LINE IN/SUB IN connection, plug your
MIRAGE subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear
of your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.

o STATUS INDICATOR - The LED found on the front panel will illuminate in blue
when the subwoofer in functioning. If the unit is in Auto mode and is not
receiving a signal, the light will remain off.
e VOLUME LEVEL- This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output
from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend
its output with that of the rest of your audio system.
e LOW-PASS FILTER - This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass
filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 150Hz. This will
determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will reproduce.
o PHASE - This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the
subwoofer, in relation to the speakers used in your system, from 0 to 180
degrees.
e POWER MODE - This switch can be set to either On, Off or Auto. If the
switch is in the Off position, the subwoofer will not power up. If the switch is
in the On position, it will constantly remain on. If the switch is set to the Auto
position, when a signal is present the subwoofer will turn on and will
automatically turn off several minutes after a signal is no longer present.
o LINE IN/SUB IN - These inputs are an RCA type LFE/stereo/mono input. If you
are connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp/processor with a LFE or
Subwoofer pre-amp output, connect a single RCA cable to the LFE/Left input.
If you are connecting your subwoofer to a stereo pre-amp or processor, such
as in a stereo music system, use stereo RCA cables and connect to both the
LFE/Left and Right inputs.
G SPEAKER LEVEL IN - The Speaker Level inputs are designed to be used on
receivers or amplifiers that do not incorporate any RCA type subwoofer
outputs. If your receiver is equipped with an RCA type subwoofer output,
these speaker level inputs should not be utilized.
NOTE: Subwoofer may not be exactly as shown. The following instructions are
for the NANO S8 subwoofer. Please refer to your subwoofer's owner's manual
for additional information.
