response be the same from both left and right channels. It is therefore important that
consideration be paid to the left and right reflecting walls. First, they should be
symmetrical, equally spaced from the speakers and the listeners. Secondly, they should
have the same, or very similar reflective properties. Example:A curtain on one wall
and a painted surface on the opposite wall will result in unbalanced reflections, which
in turn affect the stereo image. Experiment with toe-in/toe-out positioning of your
speakers until best results are achieved.
5. Spiked feet are recommended for stability on carpeted floors.
6. The loudspeakers should be placed 2 to 3 meters (6” to 10”) apart and
approximately 1/2 meter from the wall behind the speaker.The distance from
loudspeakers to listener should be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the
speakers (see figure 1).
Selection of Proper Wire
We recommend the use of high quality speaker cable.The speaker cable you select
will ideally be fitted with high quality connectors with either 5/16” spade lugs or dual
banana plugs.
In most installations, ordinary lamp cord (16-18 gauge) has enough resistance to degrade
the signal between amplifier and speakers, particularly in lengths over 3 meters (10’). If
possible the speaker cables should be the same length for both channels and the shorter
they are, the better the sonic performance will be.
* When connecting your speakers to your sound system, turn off your
amplifier to avoid damage which could result from shorting of the
speaker leads.
Amplifier Requirements
Mirage loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high listening levels with
moderate power, while at the same time being capable of handling the power output
of large amplifiers.
NOTE: Mirage 90is Series speakers are 8 ohms nominal and will function well
with quality amplifiers.
