Mirage OS³-CC Center-Channel Speaker: Omnipolar Design for Rich, Enveloping Sound Getting to the heart of every story is experiencing film just as the director intended. And the OS³-CC center channel makes it a reality, uncovering subtle nuances and delicate whispers in all of today's demanding soundtracks. OS³-CC center channel uncovers subtle nuances and delicate whispers you wouldn't otherwise hear This third-generation Omnisat® product uses high-quality materials and modern technology to completely immerse you in the moment, creating a greater sense of realism in your movies. Its sleek, low-profile enclosure and high-gloss black finish allows it to blend beautifully with your décor. And that's not all; the OS³-CC also comes with a wall mount bracket or table-top stand for endless placement flexibility. It's All About the Drama The Mirage OS³-CC center channel is all about crisp dialogue and precise imaging. It takes your music and movie soundtracks to heart, uncovering subtle nuances and delicate whispers you wouldn't hear otherwise. The center channel is often the missing link to a great dramatic sounding home theater system, delivering over 60 percent of a movie's soundtrack and almost all of its dialogue. So when you buy a Mirage Omnisat setup, be sure to include the OS³-CC. Less than five inches in depth, the OS³-CC center channel is a true three-way design. It employs a 0.75-inch pure titanium hybrid tweeter, a 3-inch poly titanium deposit hybrid midrange and two 4.5-inch poly titanium deposit hybrid woofers with neodymium motor structures and aluminum phase plugs. It also utilizes Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology on its woofers for high-output sound with low distortion. Mirage's Omnipolar technology works with your room, not against it The Science Behind the Mirage Sound Omnipolar technology in Mirage's speaker design brings unprecedented performance to a variety of product sizes and room positions. This 360º sound philosophy works with your room, rather than against it, to create the proper proportion of direct and reflected sound. Being Omnipolar means Mirage speakers embrace and optimize reflections to offer excellent imaging, width and depth, and perform optimally regardless of where they are placed in a room. In other words, they take full advantage of the fact they cannot be separated from your room. You get a completely immersive experience that permeates evenly throughout your entire listening environment. The Omniguide module--the heart of Omnipolar sound--is an ingenious design that involves two deflectors. While one small deflector rests on top of the speaker's tweeter, the tweeter itself is housed in a larger deflector, suspended over the midrange or woofer, depending on the design. The module disperses sound the way the ear and brain are accustomed to receiving it. Thirty percent of what Mirage speakers deliver is direct sound. The other seventy percent is sound reflected off of walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces for a completely immersive, 360º experience. So no matter where you sit, you're enveloped in sound. The OS³-CC center channel speaker eliminates distortion and raises efficiency The patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology increases excursion, eliminates distortion, and raises efficiency in Mirage's woofers and subwoofers. The Elliptical Surround encompasses the cone, allowing it to move identically in both directions, resulting in nearly zero distortion. And while conventional designs are often plagued with surround dimpling, which causes them to radiate in and out of phase and distort at all listening levels, Mirage's designs aren't influenced by dimpling at all. The proprietary Ribbed Elliptical Surrounds allow for a larger cone surface, resulting in greater efficiency. This design also lets the cone achieve greater peak-to-peak movement, thus allowing it to travel more than double the distance of the competition. These attributes enable Mirage woofers and subwoofers to move incredible amounts of air, ultimately allowing them to play lower frequencies with greater bass extension and fidelity.

I really do not want to spend that much for a center speaker, but because of other ponied I heard a lower price than this just could not compete with this device. No agreement on price (I bought at the time), but save with free shipping and no sales tax ...... Works for me. 7 of 7 people found this review helpful. OS3-Center's impressive! Tim We chose this after I bought a couple of BET OS3, so I wanted a matching set. The sound is great, has small speaker that weighs much less than the Polk replaced. It took me a couple tried to get the correct position, I tried it under the TV, the TV and finally to television, which sounds better for my room size. Installation was a breeze, the back has a channel groove for mounting, so I went to Home Depot and bought a pair of drywall hanger hooks style Allegedly a holder for these speakers can be ordered, but I did not go that route. Back to Sound: Very good bass, not like my old Polk clouded CC. The bass is surprisingly strong for such a small speaker. Looking good. What else is there to say? I am satisfied with this purchase! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great sounding CC, but the quality could have been better By Michael Davis Relevant parts of the plant: Denon 1911, MX 5.1 (surround) speakers, OS3-Sat (Front), bought OC3 CC in a room that is about 16x14x8 my CC after installing the MX system because it lacked a strong center channel. The voices sounded a little thin and it was a good choice (whatever that was). I am with the way the CC performs the voices and noises generated by this channel is much clearer and more audible impressed on the MX (you expect) The OS3 sats are perfectly matched and, to my great satisfaction of a good game with the Exchange. Tonal is excellent dialogue that is much easier to understand. I removed a star from the fit and finish and some of the corners they cut. My biggest complaint was the state of rubber fixed to the ground. If you were at the CC on a table or something it would be nice to define, but since I am the wall, it looked ugly. I've spent a long time to remove and remove adhesive was attached to the piece of rubber. Finally, the terminal will be marketed as premium, but are far from it. They work well, but I was a little shocked they made a point to call premium binding posts. Pros: - Excellent sound and performance for DC - Well match with other speakers mirage (OS3 and MX-satellite) - small footprint Cons: - build quality left a bit to be desired - walk in the permanent collections of the fence is not designed to be removed See all 3 customer reviews ...
