Description
Led by Mission’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, the new Mission 700 bears a striking aesthetic resemblance to the 70’s original.
However, there are many complex innovations and improvements that bring this revered model bang up to date.
Mission has developed a new polypropylene bass/midrange driver and model-specific motor system.
This transducer upgrades the loudspeaker’s integral design to take account of modern power handling and dynamic requirements.
It also maintains the extended response and low colouration of the original model with all the hallmarks and distinction of a class-leading loudspeaker.
The distinctive reflex port has been carefully profiled both internally and externally to achieve very low distortion and extension to below 38Hz in-room.
Quite an achievement from a cabinet of this size!
With a new lightweight, coated microfibre dome for the high-frequency driver, the Mission 700 offers super smooth treble performance.
By positioning the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the path is equalised so the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height.
Such design requires more than just inverting the speaker cabinet.
This is perfected by an artisan-level crossover design.
The resulting crossover design brings a musical character with thrilling detail and musicality.
