This

done
by
putting
your

AMPLIFIER
REQUIREMENTS
All
Mirage
speakers
are
designed
to
be
extremely
efficient.
All
models
are
designed
to
be
8-ohm
compatible
allowing
playback
on
almost
any
amplifier
or
receiver
on
the
market.
Most
amplifiers
with
a
power
rating
of
20-100
watts
per
channel
will
effectively
operate
your
Mirage
speakers.
Warning:
If
an
amplifier
or
receiver
is
over-driven,
the
resulting
distortion
is
actually
many
times
greater
than
its
rated
power.
Over-driven
amplifier
distortion
is
called
"Clipping",
easily
identified
by
its
fuzzy,
distorted
sound,
and
can
damage
any
speaker.
The
volume
control
of
most
amplifiers
and
receivers
is
a
logarithmic
type,
which
means
that
full
power
may
be
reached
with
the
volume
control
set
at
as
little
as
the
halfway
point.
Operating
the
loudness,
treble,
or
bass
controls
increases
power
output
well
beyond
rated
levels.
The
warranty
on
your
speakers
is
therefore
void
if
the
voice
coils
are
burned
or
damaged
as
a
result
of
overpowering
or
clipping.
