The Mirage Nanosat Satellite Speaker — Big Sound, Tiny Box 🎶
Don’t let the size fool you. The Mirage Nanosat satellite speaker is one of the most sonically sophisticated compact speakers ever made — and one of the most versatile. Whether it’s anchoring a stereo pair, filling in a surround array, or sitting on your desk, it delivers an immersive, room-filling performance that speakers twice its size struggle to match.
At its heart is a 2.75-inch titanium deposit polypropylene cone woofer paired with a 0.75-inch Pure Titanium Hybrid (PTH™) tweeter. The woofer digs deeper than you’d expect from a cabinet this small, while the tweeter produces smooth, extended highs that never fatigue.
What Makes the Mirage Nanosat Satellite Speaker Different 🔊
What truly sets the Nanosat apart is Mirage’s patented Omniguide® module (Patent #6,996,243). Most speakers fire sound in one direction — at you. The Omniguide uses a clever two-deflector system to distribute sound both directly toward the listener and outward to reflect off walls, ceilings, and floors. The result: 30% direct sound, 70% reflected sound — the same natural ratio your ears expect from live acoustic environments.
The practical payoff? Sit anywhere in the room and you’re in the sweet spot. No more fighting over the one good chair. 🪑
Placement Freedom for Your Mirage Nanosat Satellite Speaker 📐
The Nanosat thrives wherever you put it:
-
📚 On a shelf or bookcase
-
🔩 Wall-mounted with optional brackets
-
🎙️ On an optional floor stand
-
🎬 As part of a 5.1 or 7.1 surround setup
High-quality 5-way binding posts ensure solid, distortion-free connections regardless of your speaker wire or banana plug preference.
Mounting Options 🔧
The Nanosat sits cleanly on a shelf, bookcase, or AV rack right out of the box. If you’d like to get it up on the wall or ceiling, we also carry the original Mirage wall/ceiling mount for these speakers. It threads directly onto the base and offers smooth angle adjustment so you can aim the sound exactly where you want it. 🎯 Available to add to your order right from this listing — just select the mount option at checkout.

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.
Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.

KEF HTS1001 Uni-Q Satellite Speakers Black Pair
KEF’s Uni-Q array puts a 0.6-inch aluminium dome at the acoustic centre of a 3-inch mid-bass cone, so the pair behaves as a single source and the tonal balance holds across the room rather than in one chair. Sealed cast aluminium enclosures, 120 Hz to 22 kHz, 86 dB, magnetically shielded. Very good cosmetic condition.
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 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.
PSB VisionSound VS300 Aluminum On-Wall Speaker
An on-wall speaker engineered as one rather than adapted into one. It shares the tweeter, terminals and crossover of PSB's VS400 floorstander, but the port was moved to the front so the cabinet can sit flat to a wall without the wall changing what it does — and a rear switch selects NORMAL or ON-WALL, filling the 400 to 500 Hz dip that hard mounting creates. Extruded aluminium, built in Pickering, Ontario. Graded Excellent or Very Good; the only thing separating the two is a single Tic Tac-sized hole at the extreme edge of one grille frame.
Polk Audio f/x 500i Bipole/Dipole Surrounds — Made in USA, Pair
A genuine mirror-imaged pair, labelled LC and RC, with two driver arrays set 45 degrees apart and a rear-panel switch that flips them between bipole and dipole — locatable effects on the wall behind you, a diffuse field on the side walls, same speakers either way. 19.4 lbs each, half again the weight of the FXi A6 that replaced them, and 2 dB more sensitive. Built in the United States, with keyhole mounts moulded into the cabinet. Very Good condition.
