About the Mirage Nanosat® 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System
Mirage's sleek Nanosat speaker system surrounds you with high-impact home theater sound. Five compact satellites and a subwoofer combine to create gorgeous, full-bodied audio with an impressively big, spacious soundfield. Experience realistic imaging — hear the exact location of an engine rumbling off-screen, or the splash of individual raindrops in an enveloping thunder storm. This system's elegant good looks make it a great addition to any room.
Innovative design for expansive, lifelike sound
The key to the Nanosat system's open, true-to-life sound is Mirage's exclusive Omnipolar® technology. Each speaker disperses sound evenly in a 360° pattern, thanks to the saucer-shaped Omniguide mounted above its drivers. The result: a deeper, wider, taller soundstage that transforms your entire listening space into a "sweet spot." Mirage's approach delivers a combination of direct and reflected sound that's more like what we hear in real life. And you won't have to anchor yourself to one prime seat — you'll experience warm, natural audio throughout the room.
The subwoofer also boasts high-performance innovations. Its patented driver design allows the woofer to move faster and with greater precision, giving you consistently clean, distortion-free bass.
Out-of-the-way placement options
Mirage's Omnipolar design gives you lots of placement flexibility. The tiny satellites can sit comfortably on shelves or tables, or you can mount them on the wall using the included hardware. Because of the way they radiate sound, they're more forgiving than direct-firing speakers. For example, you can place the satellites high up near the ceiling for a cleaner look. Tuck the subwoofer away behind the couch or under an end table to reduce room clutter.
If you have a six- or seven-channel home theater receiver, you can add one or two additional satellites for even more engaging surround sound.

Product Research
Overview
System Components: The Mirage NanoSat System is a 5.1-channel speaker package, the system includes five identical satellites and a powered subwoofer. The NanoSat satellites are also sold individually, giving you the option of adding additional matching satellites for 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround.
Satellites
Drivers: Each satellite houses a 2-3/4" titanium deposit polypropylene cone midrange with butyl rubber surround and a 3/4" pure titanium hybrid (PTH) dome tweeter mounted on the Omniguide.
OmniPolar Design: Using the Omniguide, NanoSat satellites radiate sound in a 360° pattern. This pattern creates a deeper, more spacious soundstage and a bigger sweet spot in your listening area than a typical direct radiating speaker. When listening to acoustic instruments live, we hear more sound reflected than directly. The Omniguide closely approximates this reflected to direct ratio, giving the NanoSats their large, realistic soundstage.
Enclosure: The satellites have an acoustic suspension, extruded aluminum enclosure.
Mounting: Each satellite comes with a key-hole slot wall mount bracket installed. The bracket is mounted with one screw and can position the speaker right side up or upside down. The brackets mount the speaker approximately 1/4" away from the wall. If you mount the satellites more than six feet off the floor, Mirage recommends turning them upside down. If you place the satellites on a table or shelf, put them as close to the front edge as possible.
Speaker Terminals: The satellites have high-quality binding post speaker terminals for a secure and convenient connection. You will need to remove a plug that's inserted in the center of the binding post if you wish to use single banana plugs, the terminals are too far apart for dual banana plugs. Spade connectors, pin connectors, or bare wire up to 10 gauge can also be used.
Video Shielded: The satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your TV or computer monitor without causing picture interference.
Additional Speakers: If you wish to use the NanoSat System for a 6.1 or 7.1 channel surround system, you can purchase additional satellites (653NANOPB) or an additional center channel speaker (653NANOCTR, same design in a different cabinet) to fill out your speaker requirements.
Subwoofer
Design: The NanoSub is specifically designed for this system and is available only in this package. The crossover point and phase are factory set to match the NanoSat satellites. The down-firing 8 inch sub features a ribbed elliptical surround to eliminate surround distortions and allow greater efficiency. The port is front facing.
Connections: The NanoSub has spring clip speaker level inputs and a mono RCA line-level input. If available, Mirage recommends using the line input with the preamp's crossover set as close to 120 Hz as possible.
Volume: The subwoofer has a separate volume level, allowing you to adjust the subwoofer volume relative to the rest of the system.
Power: The power switch has three positions; on, off, and auto. In the auto position the sub turns on when it senses an audio signal and turns off after approximately five minutes with no signal.

I love these speakers. i think that they are better than bose and they are pretty small, almost as small as the bose but not quite. I am very glad that I discovered them and tried them out. They were an awesome solution to wanting small speakers that were quality.
