For 30 years, Mirage has devoted itself to creating the most realistic and powerful sounds possible from a speaker. But one of the toughest challenges has been inventing a subwoofer that creates true depth without distortion. With the Mirage Omni S8 13698 8-inch, the challenge has been met. Thanks to Mirage, you can finally enjoy a subwoofer with premium performance and near-zero distortion.

Mirage's Omni S8 Subwoofer delivers depth without distortion.

Front panel features simple controls.

Down-firing port increases output.

At the heart of the Omni S8 is Mirage's patented Elliptical Surround Technology. With conventional woofers, outward and inward cone movement is never the same because the surround flexes differently as it moves. Due to the shape of the Elliptical Surround, the cone movement in either direction is identical, resulting in no distortion. Another problem with conventional subwoofers is surround dimpling. Dimples that occur on normal subwoofers radiate in and out of phase, causing distortions at all listening levels. The more the cone moves, the more the surround dimples. With Mirage's exclusive, patented, rib design, the ribs either expand or contract based on their position and the position of the cone. The expansion and contraction of the ribs eliminate any dimpling that can occur, thereby eliminating the distortion that dimpling creates.

The Omni S8 features an 8-inch woofer and 100-watt RMS internal amplifier. With a frequency response down to 27 Hz, the Titanium Deposit Hybrid woofer with Elliptical Surround performs like a much larger subwoofer. The down-firing port of the Omni S8 increases output without port noise, using the floor as a loading surface to augment the yield of the subwoofer. The Omni S8 delivers natural and lifelike sound that will not only compliment Mirage's line of speakers, but will also compliment any existing home theater system.

Integrating the Omni S8 into your existing setup couldn't be any easier. The subwoofer features high-level inputs and outputs, as well as low-level inputs that include a direct input for seamless home theater integration. Level, frequency, and phase controls, all of which are found on the front panel of the subwoofer, make any adjustments extremely simple. Rear inputs include high- and low-level (including LFE) connections, as well as power-mode selection.

The Omni S8 measures a compact 14.6 x 11.7 x 15.3 (HxWxD), allowing you to easily integrate it into almost any room's decor, and is designed with an elegant platinum finish.
