Amazon.com Product Description

For 30 years, Mirage has devoted itself to creating the most realistic and powerful sounds possible from a speaker. But one of the toughest challenges has been inventing a subwoofer that creates true depth without distortion. With the Mirage Omni S8 13698 8-inch, the challenge has been met. Thanks to Mirage, you can finally enjoy a subwoofer with premium performance and near-zero distortion.

Mirage's Omni S8 Subwoofer delivers depth without distortion.

Front panel features simple controls.

Down-firing port increases output.

At the heart of the Omni S8 is Mirage's patented Elliptical Surround Technology. With conventional woofers, outward and inward cone movement is never the same because the surround flexes differently as it moves. Due to the shape of the Elliptical Surround, the cone movement in either direction is identical, resulting in no distortion. Another problem with conventional subwoofers is surround dimpling. Dimples that occur on normal subwoofers radiate in and out of phase, causing distortions at all listening levels. The more the cone moves, the more the surround dimples. With Mirage's exclusive, patented, rib design, the ribs either expand or contract based on their position and the position of the cone. The expansion and contraction of the ribs eliminate any dimpling that can occur, thereby eliminating the distortion that dimpling creates.

The Omni S8 features an 8-inch woofer and 100-watt RMS internal amplifier. With a frequency response down to 27 Hz, the Titanium Deposit Hybrid woofer with Elliptical Surround performs like a much larger subwoofer. The down-firing port of the Omni S8 increases output without port noise, using the floor as a loading surface to augment the yield of the subwoofer. The Omni S8 delivers natural and lifelike sound that will not only compliment Mirage's line of speakers, but will also compliment any existing home theater system.

Integrating the Omni S8 into your existing setup couldn't be any easier. The subwoofer features high-level inputs and outputs, as well as low-level inputs that include a direct input for seamless home theater integration. Level, frequency, and phase controls, all of which are found on the front panel of the subwoofer, make any adjustments extremely simple. Rear inputs include high- and low-level (including LFE) connections, as well as power-mode selection.

The Omni S8 measures a compact 14.6 x 11.7 x 15.3 (HxWxD), allowing you to easily integrate it into almost any room's decor, and is designed with an elegant platinum finish.

Smooth tight bass.......2007-04-01

This is the first "Real Quality"subwoofer I've owned.It replaces a Bose unit which I bought on sale some years back.All I can say is WoW!!!! Any cheap sub will crack the windows if turned up high enough.But if you want something with a smooth tight bass that augments your music and seems to disapear,then this is one of them.Of any piece of audio equipment,a subwoofer is in actualality a "musical instrument".Speakers, in general, are made to reproduce the full audio spectrum which are made up of multiple instruments.But a subwoofer is dedicated to the lower seqment(somewhere from about 120Hz and lower).The Mirage OMNIS8 does this with class. And if called upon,it will rock the foundation with the opening scene from "Star Wars".

Best Audio Purchase I've Made in Years.......2006-09-22

I recently rediscovered my vinyl and CD collections after many years of being too busy to listen. I bought this sub to supplement my Wharfedale Diamonds which are a similarly great bargain. I also purchased an inexpensive Harman Kardon receiver to power the lot. Let me say, I have owned several subs over the years. I've had some that reached deeper and played louder but none that were more musical than this one. The bass is powerful and tight... a perfect complement to the sound of the Wharfedales. Build quality is exceptional - much more elegant than the HSU Research sub I use on my home theater set up. This sub is also quite compact compared to most.. but don't let the small size trick you into thinking it won't perform.

I purchased mine from Vanns thru Amazon. Their service was exceptional. Hurry, do not let this incredible bargain pass you by. There are lots of good subs out there but none that I auditioned came close to this one for sound, build quality and overall value!

Wow, little box, huge sound........2006-03-15

I can hardly say enough good about this sub. I have replaced an older Bose Lifestyle 5 Series 2. I read good things about Mirage and even had a demo of this sub at a local high end retailer. I hooked it up and I am more pleased than I thought I would be. It can thump the house if you want it to. I like that you can hear bass and not just feel it. It's a very musical sub. Even in a large room, I think this would do the trick.

Great sub for $200.......2006-03-11

I live in an apartment so I couldn't use a big sub (I wanted the S12), and I wanted clean sound. I researched tons of smaller subs and I kept coming back to the S8 so I decided to give it a shot. My setup is mainly for movies and it consists of two Energy C3's for front left and right, Energy XL-C100 for center, and bose 161 for rears (soon being replaced with mirage omnisat micros). Mirage and Energy are manufactured by same company. This sub fits in nicely. I have crossover set at 60Hz and the sound is clean. The level can be turned up pretty high before there is any distortion.

Love the sub so far and it is not even broke in yet. It adds that extra punch I was missing from my movies. It can shake the walls pretty good too for an 8" sub. And why they call this platinum, I have no idea, it is like a dark gunmetal gray. Matches well with anything black i.e. not an eyesore.

Just a bit confused.......2006-02-16

The manual says that the filter needs to be set to "on" if your receiver doesn't have frequency control for the sub. My Yamaha receiver automatically outputs all frequencies below 150Hz to the sub but there is no control. So I set the filter to "on". However, the sub did not work in this mode although my frequency setting was all the way to 120Hz on the sub. Had to turn the filter off for the sub to work i.e. red light became green. Anyone have that experience?

Eats batteries and Broken.......2006-12-08

When I first got this camara. I thought "not bad for $50". It took me forever to get it to take a picture that wasnt too dark or too bright. I bought it so I could put pictures of my crafts online for my craft business. I took 3 or 4 pictures and had to change batteries (lost the pics in the process). Then, finally managed to get about a dozen pictures taken (had to put the item directly under the flourescent light over my stove to get the pictures to be halfway decent). When I went to use it again after about 3 weeks, the pictures had these weird lines. I emailed the company and they sent me a replacement but I really dont want it. Bottom like this camara was a waist of $50.

1 star is too generous a rating! RUN AWAY FROM THIS CAMERA!.......2006-09-28

Ohhhhh...where to begin? I bought this for $49.99 (a gift for my daughter). She took (literally) 10 pictures before the batteries died. It goes through batteries faster than anything I've ever seen. The picture quality is terrible...blurry, grainy, dark or too bright. You can not take a halfway decent photo with this piece of junk.

I know that $50 won't buy anything fabulous, but for that price a camera should take a halfway decent picture. I returned the P.O.S. (you can figure out what that stands for) to the store and exchanged it for a nicer camera which happened to be on clearance for $49.

Don't waste your money!!

Not too Bad.......2006-08-11

Ok, so it's not the best, but I am surprised at all the problems people are having.
The batteries do go quickly, so I will take the batteries out when it's not in use. This is a good second camera, a camera to take if you think your good one could get damaged, fall in the water, etc. This camera was bought for my 10 yr old son and for him it's perfect.
Yes, it is difficult to view the pictures on the camera screen, or even use it to take a picture, but the quality that comes out of the camera was acutally better than my $179 camera I got two Christmas's ago....pretty scary.
The good qualities outweigh the bad ones for the price of this camera.

Battery Muncher!.......2006-06-29

Bought this camera for our 5 year old. She loves it. But it does eat batteries. We use rechargables and she can take one set of pics on the internal memory (about 20 pics) and then we immediately download the pictures to the computer and change the batteries. Forget about trying to figure out how to use the flash or delete. Just use it to take pics outside in good light and delete them after you download them. We just ordered an SD card, so we'll see how it works with that.

I know it's cheap--but ....big mistake.......2006-06-08

Frankly, I bought this for my daughter because I was going broke paying for pictures of people's feet, or unidentifiable buildings, or no heads. She's 8 yrs old. Unfortunatly, it is just too hard to work. It is hard to take pictures, it's hard to find them again, and as i read some of the other comments, I guess we have lost our un-downloaded pictures, because I know I havent changed the batteries in months! Either get a nicer one in the same price range without the viewer, or be diligent in taking back pictures that you dont like with 35mm or 110 film.
