Mirage is a Canadian speaker brand, founded in Toronto in the late 1970s and later built by Audio Products International in Scarborough, in the same factory as Energy. Its bipolar and Omnipolar designs send sound in more than one direction. We carry Mirage towers, satellites, centre channels and subwoofers. We’ve had more than 110 Mirage listings so far. Every used Mirage here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program.

The Mirage story
Jeff Percy, Jeff Soltysek and Patrick Dempster founded Mirage in Toronto in the late 1970s (1979, according to Stereophile). Kevin Voecks, later of Snell and Revel, did the original designs. Audio Products International of Scarborough, which already assembled Mirage speakers, took the company over in the mid-1980s.
Bipolar. The M-1 of 1987, begun by Voecks and completed by API’s Ian Paisley, fired identical drivers forward and backward, in phase. Mirage’s engineers worked with the National Research Council’s loudspeaker research here in Ottawa.
Omnipolar. The OM-6 of 1997 was the first commercial version of Mirage’s Omnipolar idea, and the Omnisat satellite system followed in 2002.
New owners. Klipsch bought API in 2006, and VOXX bought Klipsch in 2011. Later models were made in China; the 2007 OMD-28 was “designed by API in Canada and built in China”. Around the end of 2022, Oscar Bernardo, a former API executive, bought the Mirage brand himself to relaunch it.
Which Mirage is which?
Early two-ways (1980s to early 1990s): models owners discuss include the SM-1, 190, 290, M-360 and M-460.
M-series bipolar (1987 to late 1990s): the M-1, M-3, and the “si” models such as the M-1si, M-3si and M-7si.
OM-series Omnipolar (1997 to early 2000s): the OM-6, OM-7 and OM-9, and the OM-5 subwoofer.
Home theatre: FRx (2001), Omnisat and Nanosat satellites (2002 to 2005), OMD (2007) and MX (2009), plus the OMNI towers and Uni-Theater.
Subwoofers: the BPS bipolar subs, the LF-150 and MM-6, and the Nano subwoofers.
Buying used Mirage: what to check
Surrounds. Materials vary by model: some M-series midranges use foam surrounds that turn brittle, while many woofers use rubber. Check the rear-firing drivers too.
Tweeters. Owners report that original M-1 tweeters become fragile and have been unavailable for years. Check that every tweeter plays, front and rear.
Powered woofers and subwoofers. Test the built-in amplifier at volume; owners report failed sub amplifiers with no replacement available.
Finish and pairs. M-series panels are lacquered and some clip off plastic fasteners, so look for damage. The M-1si was built in mirror-image pairs.
Placement. Omnipolar and bipolar speakers sound best well out from the wall.

Mirage OMNI 350 Omnipolar Towers – Designed in Canada, Black Ash
A pair of slim Mirage towers built around the company's Omnipolar design, in very good condition, that fill a room with sound instead of aiming it at one chair.
✔️ Very Good condition — black ash cabinets, drivers and grilles present cleanly
✔️ Designed and engineered in Canada around Mirage's room-filling Omnipolar sound
✔️ Covered by Radique Warranty
✔️ Includes Perpetual Trade-Back Program eligibility
✔️ Expertly packed for safe shipping
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite (Pair) – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped OMNIGUIDE reflectors, giving 360-degree dispersion with a deliberate forward bias. 70 Hz to 20 kHz, 89 dB, cast aluminum woofer baffle and butyl surrounds rather than foam. These are the original 7 lb version; the later revisions come in under five. Very good condition.
High-Fidelity Canadian Mirage Floorstanding Speakers 460
A 1-inch dome tweeter and an 8-inch woofer in a heavily braced, rear-ported cabinet — 35 Hz to 20 kHz, 88 dB sensitivity, 8 ohms, and 33 lbs apiece. The ports fire rearward and the grilles are inset and non-diffracting; binding posts take banana, spade or bare wire. Rated for 20 to 100 watts a channel. Tested and working perfectly.
Mirage Uni-Theater 3-in-1 LCR Speaker – Omnipolar – Glass Stand
One aluminum cabinet holding three acoustically isolated channels — each with a 3/4-inch titanium hybrid dome in Mirage's Omniguide module, a 3-inch woofer and two 3-inch passive radiators. The left and right modules angle outward; the centre fires straight ahead. It is passive, so it needs an AVR with discrete L, C and R outputs. 36.5 inches wide, 19 lbs, with the original glass table stand and wall bracket.
Mirage Nano S8 8″ Subwoofer 200W Peak – Downward Firing
A down-firing 8-inch driver with Mirage's Ribbed Elliptical Surround, 200 watts dynamic peak, and a front-ported cabinet running 33 to 120Hz. The rear panel carries a continuously variable low-pass filter, 40 to 150Hz at 18dB per octave, which the fixed-crossover Nano never had — it will cross to almost any satellite. Level 1 serviced here; very good cosmetic condition in dark grey.
Mirage Omnisat OS 1PB-1 Omnipolar Satellite – Made in Canada
Both drivers fire upward into spoon-shaped reflectors Mirage calls OMNIGUIDEs, throwing sound through a full 360 degrees with a deliberate bias toward the front — which is what takes the sweet spot off a single chair. This is the original version at a genuine 7 lbs each, with a cast aluminium baffle and butyl rubber surrounds rather than foam. Built in Canada; condition very good.
Mirage Nano sysPB-1 8″ Powered Subwoofer – Platinum
An 8-inch down-firing woofer in a rounded cabinet, built as the bass module for Mirage's Nanosat 5.1 system and factory-crossed at 120 Hz to suit it. Line-level and speaker-level inputs both, so it will connect to a receiver that has no sub output. Auto power on and off. Two units available: one rated 9 out of 10 on performance, one rated 7 after an amplifier-board repair. Both very good cosmetically.

Mirage Omnisat V2 Wall/Ceiling Mount Bracket (OS v2B-1)
The factory bracket for the Omnisat v2, model OS v2B-1, for wall or ceiling. A single bolt threads into the base of the speaker and the plate anchors to the surface, keeping the satellite close in and correctly aimed — tidier and safer than a universal mount. The screw is included. Some paint transfer on the wall-facing side; the hardware itself is very good.
Mirage Omnisat Wall & Ceiling Mount Clip – Original Factory Part
The factory clip supplied with the first-generation Omnisat, and the part its moulded base was shaped to accept. The clip goes on the wall or ceiling first and the speaker slides down onto it under its own weight — a one-person job, and the speaker lifts off again in seconds. Three-quarters of an inch of profile. Not the v2 bracket; the two do not interchange. Very good condition.
