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.
