ENGLISH: Important safety
instructions - Read carefully!
We strongly advise that you resist the temptation to play the MIRAGE
speakers to their full capabilities or experiment with critical placement
and listening until they have been properly broken in. This process
should last approximately 50 hours. 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 normal listening levels.
Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and fi nish
of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or
fi ngerprints. Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials as it
may damage the fi nish.
NOTE: Please retain the carton and packing material for your
MIRAGE products, to protect them in the event of a move or if
they need to be shipped to a service center. Product received
damaged by a service center that has been shipped by the end
user in other than the original packaging will be repaired,
refurbished and properly packaged for return shipment, at the
end user’s expense.
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 fi delity over corner
placement), or alongside a front speaker (creating a better blend with
the front speaker, but sacrifi cing overall volume). Experimentation with
subwoofer placement is highly encouraged, as slight adjustments can
create large benefi ts 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 fi nd the best sounding position. This is a
possible location for the subwoofer to be placed.
Front Panel
1. Subwoofer Level Control - 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.
2. Status Indicator – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate
when the subwoofer is connected to an AC source and the unit is
active. The LED will display in red when the unit is plugged in but is
not receiving a signal and will display green when the unit is active.
3. Frequency Control – This control allows for the adjustment of the
low-pass fi lter. Adjustments can infi nitely be made from 40Hz to
120Hz. This will determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer
will play.
4. Phase Control – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase
of the subwoofer, in relation to the speakers used in your system,
either 0 degrees or 180 degrees.
Caution: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, match wide blades of plug to
wide slot, fully insert.
