Tiny Mirage MX Home Theater System Scores Big Attention

November 25, 2008 -- As part of the International CES Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Awards program, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) recently recognized the Mirage MX home theater system as being among the best designed and engineered products for 2009.

As a 2009 Innovations honoree in the home theater speakers category, the MX was selected for this prestigious accolade by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and trade journalists. Evaluating products in 34 consumer electronics categories, the judges based their decisions on the following criteria: engineering qualities, aesthetic and design qualities, user value and novel features.

Featuring five palm-sized, Omnipolar speakers and the brand's smallest-ever powered subwoofer, the MX home theater system is engineered to deliver serious sound without drowning out a rooms dcor. Mirage's Omnipolar sound philosophy works with a room, rather than against it, creating the proper proportion of direct and reflected sound. As a result, audiences get completely immersive experiences that permeate evenly throughout the entire listening environment.

"The MX is all about minimizing your speakers, not your sound", said Martin Tustin-Fuchs, Mirage product line manager. "It’s truly a milestone product for Mirage and now, as a CES Innovations honoree, the entire consumer electronics industry."

Slated to launch this month to specialty retail outlets, the Mirage MX home theater system will carry a U.S. MSRP of $1,200. Mirage will also sell individual MX stereo speakers for $150, so consumers can add channels to their 5.1 MX package, if desired. For more information, visit miragespeakers.com.
