Omnipolar Speakers Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description Over twenty years ago, Mirage revolutionized the audio industry by introducing M-1, the world’s first bipolar speaker. Dramatically increasing sound dispersion and turning flat recordings into full-bodied, near-realistic performances, the M-I quickly set the standard in speaker performance. Mirage has done it again. With the Mirage OmniSat 13465 Omnipolar Speaker, Mirage’s unique patent-pending Omnipolar technology radiates sound in a full, 360-degree, spherical spectrum that will envelop you in a world of sound that you’ve never experienced before.

Patent-Pending Omnipolar Technology
Mirage OmniSat Speakers use Omnipolar technology that relies on natural room reflections to produce a greater sense of realism, as well as create a deep, wide and tall sound stage. This phenomenon is accomplished by recreating the same ratio of direct to reflected sound found in nature–70 percent reflected and 30 percent direct. It is the additional reflected sound provided by the speaker that creates the Omnipolar three-dimensional sound experience.

Another way to think about it is to picture yourself at a live music performance or at the theater. The sounds you hear come not just directly from the performers, but are also reflected off the walls, ceiling, floor and other objects. While our brains use direct sound to recognize where it is coming from, it is the reflected sound that provides the sense of space and adds depth to musical performances. What this means to you is that once you’ve set up your speaker system, it almost doesn’t matter where you sit. Unlike traditional speakers, there is no “sweet spot” for you to best appreciate the music. With the OmniSat 13465, the best seat in the house is just about anywhere you choose to sit.

To achieve this stunning experience, Mirage has built into the OmniSat 13465 some of the finest components, materials, manufacturing techniques and cutting-edge technologies that you’ll find in any speaker. The OmniSat 13465 features the latest generation of Mirage’s Pure Titanium Hybrid (PTH) tweeter. PTH tweeters have earned worldwide recognition for their crystal clear and lifelike high-frequency reproduction, low distortion, and wide dispersion.

The PTH tweeter dome is mated to a compliant cloth suspension, eliminating the harsh ringing effect often found with metal domes. The small, new Mirage mid-bass driver is constructed with injection-molded polypropylene, impregnated with graphite, carbon, and mica, and is titanium-coated to provide increased strength and rigidity in a super-light cone.

To help create the lifelike Omnipolar effect using only two drivers, the speaker’s dispersion modules are strategically positioned, conical shaped cylinders that disperse the sound from the drivers in a spherical direction. To achieve its tight and accurate bass response, Mirage utilizes polypropylene titanium deposit hybrid cones with Santaprene surrounds. Briefly, the cones are subjected to a titanium deposit process that gives them an ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio, while the Santaprene surrounds provide better strength and flexibility than rubber or foam.

The OmniSat 13465 provides 150 watts of total power with a frequency response of 70 Hz-20 kHz (+/- 3 dB). Add to all of this magnetic shielding that allows the speaker to be placed next to or on top of a television without causing interference to the picture and high-quality, five-way binding posts that allow the use of high-gauge speaker wire and connectors, and there you’ve got a speaker that offers tremendous sound reproduction and performance.
