Mirage Omnisat v2 CC – 3-Way Centre Channel – Omnipolar Sound

The Award-Winning Mirage Omnisat v2 CC centre channel speaker brings the brand’s celebrated Omnipolar technology to your home theater, filling the entire room with clear, natural dialogue and enveloping on-screen sound.

Sound & Vision awarded the Omnisat v2 system an overall score of 94 out of 100, praising its exceptional soundstage, build quality, and value — rating it 96 for Build Quality and 94 for Value.

The Omnisat v2 CC is a genuine departure from conventional centre channel design. Where most centre speakers project sound in a narrow forward beam — restricting the sweet spot to a single seat — the v2 CC uses Mirage’s proprietary Omnipolar technology to disperse sound in a full 360-degree pattern. The saucer-shaped Omniguide mounted above the drivers reflects sound upward and outward in all directions, blending direct and reflected audio in a way that more closely mimics how we hear live sound in real environments. The result is a wider, taller, deeper soundstage where virtually every seat in the room becomes a sweet spot — a meaningful advantage in any family room or dedicated home theater.

It is worth being clear about where this speaker shines: the Omnisat v2 CC is optimized for the upper midrange and treble frequencies — the human vocal range, dialogue clarity, and on-screen sound effects — where Omnipolar technology delivers its most dramatic benefit. It is designed to work in partnership with larger front speakers or a subwoofer to handle the lower octaves. Buyers looking for a centre channel to carry deep bass on its own will want to look elsewhere — but for those who want the clearest, most natural and room-filling dialogue reproduction available at this price point, this speaker is genuinely hard to beat.

The speaker’s three-way driver complement is unusually sophisticated for a centre channel at this price point. A 3/4-inch PTH tweeter handles the top end, a 3-inch titanium deposit hybrid polypropylene midrange driver ensures clear, natural dialogue reproduction, and dual 4.5-inch titanium deposit hybrid polypropylene woofers with neodymium motors provide the dynamic punch needed for movie soundtracks and music alike. The brushed aluminum enclosure is acoustically inert and adds a premium, contemporary look to any flat-panel TV setup. The unit is video-shielded and wall-mountable via dual keyhole slots.

As with every component we sell at Radique Audio, this unit has been thoroughly tested before listing.

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.
