Mirage NANOSAT MS-STB-1 Owner's Manual

IN-DEPTH INSTRUCTIONS
Stand Mount Options
This series provides a large choice of installation options to integrate
into any decor. The bottom of the NANOSAT Prestige is designed to clip
onto the optional MS-STB-1 stand. Please refer to the MS-STB-1 own-
ers' manual for more detailed instructions.
Wall Mount Options
For wall mount installations, the NANOSAT Prestige is equipped with a
mounting bracket that can be used to mount the speaker securely to a
vertical surface. The bracket is shipped already attached to the speaker.
Carefully drive a #8 screw into a stud in the wall, leaving approximately
¼ inch of the screw exposed, then mount the NANOSAT Prestige like
you would a picture. Note: Failure to attach the screw safely to a secure
spot on the wall can result is damage or injury. See Diagram 2.
When mounting the speaker at a height of under six feet, orient the
NANOSAT in an upright position. Slide the head of the screw into the
wide portion of the channel opening and slide the NANOSAT Prestige
downward until it sits in position. See Diagrams 2, 3
When mounting the speaker at a height of over six feet, orient the
NANOSAT Prestige in an upside down position so the grill is facing the
fl oor and use the bottom key-way channel. Slide the head of the screw
into the wide portion of the channel opening and slide the NANOSAT
Prestige downward until it sits in position. See Diagrams 2, 3
The speaker can also be angled by slightly loosening the screw on the
bottom of the NANOSAT Prestige and swiveling the speaker into the
desired position.
NANO CC CENTER CHANNEL
1. Choose the desired mounting position. If possible, fi nd a position on
the wall that allows the NANO CC to be mounted directly to a wall stud.
Attach the mounting template (included in the box) to the desired posi-
tion by using tape or small nails. See Diagram 6. IMPORTANT: The ar-
rows on the template should point in the same direction as the grill. If the
NANO CC is mounted below 6 feet, the grille should face upwards and
therefore the arrows on the template should also point upwards. If the
NANO CC is mounted above 6 feet, the grille should face downwards,
and similarly the arrows on the template should also point downwards.
2. Using a level, ensure the template is attached level to the wall. It is
critical that the template is level as a mistake at this stage will result in
uneven mounting of the NANO CC. See Diagram 7.
3. Outline the two rectangular boxes. Mark the smaller box with an X.
The smaller box is needed for the wire management outlining the
recommended wall cut-out. See Diagram 8.
4. After the template has been removed, use a drywall saw to cut out the
smaller rectangular box marked with an X. Please note that this step is only
required if the wires will be fed through the wall. If a different wire manage-
ment system is being used, please ignore this step. See Diagram 9.
5. Mount the wall bracket into position. The use of proper anchors for
all screws is required to ensure a secure installation. Please note that
screws and anchors are not included in the NANO CC package. See
Diagram 10.
6. Feed the wires through the hole cut out. See Diagram 11.
7. Connect the wires to the appropriate binding posts at the back of the
NANO CC. IMPORTANT: Connect the speaker wire from the positive
(RED +) terminal on the amplifi er to the positive (RED+) terminal on
the speaker. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the amplifi er
to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker.
8. After the wires are connected, hang the NANO CC on the wall
bracket. Center the NANO CC and push down lightly on the speaker to
achieve a tight fi t between the speaker and the bracket. If the speaker is
not centered, repeat this step. See Diagram 12.
O W N E R S M A N U A L
The MIRAGE NANOSAT Prestige System has been designed for high performance
in a wide variety of settings, but here are a few helpful hints that will help to maximize
performance and your enjoyment.
Left and Right Channels
A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker
and listener at approximately 1.5 times the distance between the speakers. For ex-
ample, if the speakers were ideally placed a minimum of 6 feet apart, the best seating
position would be 9 feet away. Ideal height would position the speaker at approximate-
ly ear level when the listener is in a seated position. This can be accomplished by
using the recommended optional MS-STB-1 stand.
Center Channel
A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie's
soundtrack, most of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices ema-
nating from the actor's mouth, the NANOSAT Prestige or the optional NANO CC be-
ing used as the center channel should be centrally located between the left and right
NANOSAT Prestige and be placed above or below the television.
Surround Channel
When using the NANOSAT Prestige as a surround speaker it should be positioned
adjacent to and slightly in front or behind the primary listening area. A general guide-
line for the recommended height would be approximately 6 feet.
Bookshelf/Entertainment Unit Placement
The small size and OMNIPOLAR dispersion of the versatile NANOSAT Prestige
permits them to be easily placed, among other places, in a bookshelf. To maximize
the OMNIPOLAR dispersion potential, bring the speaker as close to the front of
the cabinet as possible.
The MIRAGE NANOSAT Prestige System is equipped with high quality binding posts
that permit the use of banana plugs, spades, or a bare wire connection. Connect the
speaker wire from the positive (RED +) terminal on the amp to the positive (RED+)
terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the amplifi er
to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker. See Diagram 1
SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
Placement
Start off by placing the subwoofer near a corner in the front of the room. This will
produce maximum bass output. By moving the subwoofer away from the corner you
will eventually fi nd the position that yields maximum bass output without "boominess".
Note: it is important to leave approximately 4 inches (10cm) of clearance between
the subwoofer and walls or room furnishings.
Connections
1. If you are using a digital receiver, connect the subwoofer from the receiver subwoof-
er preamplifi er output to the subwoofer RCA input, with a male to male RCA cable.
2. If your receiver does not have an RCA output, connect the speaker wire from the
front left and right outputs to the corresponding left and right inputs on the subwoo-
fer, paying particular attention to make sure that the polarities are maintained. Ensure
Red (+) to Red and Black (-) to Black connections are maintained.
