®

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
in terms of performance and aesthetics.
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.

UNPACKING AND SETTING UP
Check the carton for all of the parts. Save the carton for possible future use. It provides the
best means to repack the system for transporting it outside your residence.
Place the system on a firm and level surface. Its speaker drivers are shielded, which limits the
possibility of video interference if it is placed near a computer or video screen.
CONNECTIONS
1. Insert the small connector end of the power cable into OmniVibe.
2. Plug the other end of this cable into a wall outlet.

USING THE SYSTEM
Your OmniVibe digital music system is ready to go as soon as you plug it in. Simply set your
iPod to play what you want and insert it into the dock on the front of the system.
• You should hear the music immediately. If you do not, refer to “Troubleshooting”.
• The + and – buttons on the dock allow you to adjust the system volume.
• Whenever your iPod is docked in the system, it recharges (until fully charged).
• The system will go into standby after 10 seconds when there is no audio input.
The LED indicator will flash slowly during standby.
TV OR VCR CONNECTION FOR IPOD PHOTO
The MIRAGE OmniVibe includes a pass-through video feature that allows you to display photos
from your iPod photo onto a television set while the iPod photo is docked to the OmniVibe. To
connect the OmniVibe to a television set or VCR, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure the power to your television set or VCR is turned off.
2. Locate a Composite (RCA) cable (sold separately).
Connect one end of the Composite (RCA) cable to the Composite (RCA) port on the back of
the OmniVibe system and the other end to the yellow Composite (RCA) input on your
television set or VCR.
Note that video cannot be displayed on both the iPod and the Television at the same time
USB FUNCTIONALITY
The USB port allows your iPod to interact with iTunes while docked. Simply connect the
OmniVibe to your computer via a USB-A to USB-B cable (not included). This is a standard USB
printer cable.
