API Shipping Mirage OM-200 Subwoofers

7-Aug-02

The new Mirage OM-200 is the first of the new OM Series subwoofers that will eventually replace the BPS Series. Its most closely related BPS forebear is the BPS-150, with which it shares its 2 x 8-inch driver complement and opposing Omnipolar driver configuration. Beyond that, most similarities end.The OM-200 has more power, at 200 watts vs. 150, and 800 watts peak power vs. 600 for the BPS predecessor. It goes lower to 20 Hz as opposed to 20 Hz. And, its maximum output is increased by 6 dB. Its magnet is 28 ounces, its voice coil diameter 1-1/2 inches, compared to 20 ounces and 1 inch, respectively, for the BPS-150. A new in-house designed and built woofer feature hybrid titanium deposit/polypropylene cone construction.There are front-mounted controls and reduced cabinet vibration, inherent in the Omnipolar driver configuration, as well as a wider-ranging blend control for better matching with a larger variety of ancillary loudspeakers. Other features include muting, clipping, and thermal protection circuits, automatic on/off, infinitely variable phase control, high and low level inputs, a video setting for higher impact, plus an additional low level ""crossover bypass"" input. The latter bypasses all subwoofer controls except phase, permitting the subwoofer to be connected to a digital surround processor with its own crossover.The OM-200 is finished in a choice of Black High Gloss or Cherry, and has a suggested retail price of $1,000.
