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.

Description

Mirage Nano S8 8″ Powered Subwoofer 200W Peak – Downward Firing Serviced, Grey

The Mirage Nano S8 is a compact, beautifully styled 8-inch powered subwoofer designed as the low-frequency companion to the celebrated Mirage Nanosat satellite system — delivering surprisingly clean, musical bass from a space-saving cabinet that finishes in a handsome dark grey that looks genuinely sharp.

The Nano S8 pairs a down-firing 8-inch driver with Mirage’s patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround — a proprietary surround design that allows the cone to move identically in both directions for reduced distortion, while also enabling greater cone excursion for improved efficiency and bass extension. The front-ported bass-reflex cabinet is powered by an internal amplifier rated at 200 watts dynamic peak, offering notably clean, defined output from such a compact footprint. A continuously variable low-pass filter (40 Hz – 150 Hz at 18 dB/octave) is the standout feature on the rear panel — providing the crossover flexibility to integrate cleanly with virtually any bookshelf or satellite system, and a meaningful upgrade over the standard fixed-crossover Nano subwoofer. Both line-level (stereo RCA) and speaker-level (spring clip) inputs are provided for flexible connectivity.

This unit has undergone our Level One service and testing which should ensure many more years of reliable performance ahead. The dark grey finish presents beautifully and is in very good cosmetic condition overall, with clean lines and smoothly rounded corners that give the cabinet a genuinely sharp, understated appearance suited to modern living rooms.

Best suited for small-to-mid-sized rooms at modest-to-moderate listening levels, where its musicality, compact footprint, and clean styling are genuine assets.

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. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

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.
