Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers

Description

Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers

The Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers were developed as a result of overwhelming demand for the ‘700 series’ standout industrial design, heavily influenced by Mission’s original and seminal 700 series, the Mission 750 brings technology and performance traits from critically acclaimed 770 and 700 models but in a more compact, stand-mount (or bookshelf) design.

Features

Unlike the 770 and 700, which are both more than just reintroductions in being ‘bang up to date’ innovations based upon predecessor models, the new Mission 750 is an entirely new concept and model, designed specifically to accommodate the market segments and budgets below that of the larger models in the series.

Although equally complex as any loudspeaker, in terms of development, the all-new Mission 750 benefits from utilising many of the same innovations of award-winning predecessors, making for a loudspeaker model that is technically advanced yet classically styled.

Cabinet

Starting with the cabinet, the Mission 750’s housing is a mere 355mm (h) x 216 (w) x 270 (d). Perfect for a ‘bookshelf’ speaker application.

Yet, it still employs a design and build standard equal to that of the Mission 700, including the multi-layer sandwich construction and specially developed acoustic damping adhesive complemented by a custom internal bracing structure.

A lining of foam and long-hair fibre aids internal resonance control, while the custom-profiled rear reflex ports aid in bass extension beyond what is traditionally expected from a cabinet of these compact dimensions.

The now-famous-again white front baffle and Mission logo are instantly recognisable. As too is the rich black or walnut real-wood veneer, albeit in a format more accommodating for smaller spaces and easier placement.

Taking the exceptional Mission 770 aside, you’d be forgiven for expecting a modern Mission loudspeaker to maintain the proprietary Inverted Geometry Design – and the Mission 750 does not disappoint!

IDG

IDG is not just a design statement; it is a crucial component of Misson’s loudspeaker design from the original 700 series onwards.

By placing the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the sound path is balanced, resulting in sound waves that coincide at the listener’s head height.

This technique improves ‘time alignment’.

However, this design is not simply a matter of inverting the speaker cabinet.

Every aspect of the industrial and mechanical design requires precise calculations to ensure that the positioning, spacing, and alignment contribute to the goal of achieving optimal ‘time alignment’.

This is achieved through a meticulous crossover design process that is of artisan quality.

Polypropylene bass/midrange driver and motor system

Within the IDG format, the all-new Mission 750 model, just like the 700 and 770, uses a newly developed polypropylene bass/midrange driver and motor system but is now in a new 5.25” profile specifically designed for this model.

This innovative cone and driver technology not only enhances the loudspeaker’s overall design to meet modern power handling and dynamic requirements, but it also maintains the 700 series extended response and low colouration.

Every aspect, from the rigid, cast chassis to the low-density surround, has been thoroughly examined to deliver a driver with greater rigidity and precision-controlled cone-termination for dynamic performances and tight, fast, and energetic output.

High-frequency reproduction

High-frequency reproduction is provided by the 28mm, lightweight, coated microfibre dome, as found in the Mission 700 model, and likewise, placed below that bass/midrange driver.

With a high-frequency performance eerily close to that of the flagship 770, the Mission 750 also incorporates a specially damped rear chamber which aids in resonance control, extends bandwidth and facilitates the crossover frequency for super smooth treble performance.

As with all Mission loudspeakers, an uncompromising workflow and standard is employed from concept to delivery.

This includes hundreds of hours of listening plus custom-designed Computer-aided Optimisation technology that allows for fine-tuning the crossover, perfecting the combination of the driver selection for the ultimate loudspeaker system cohesion.

He result is a ‘sum of all its parts’ design that brings a musical character with thrilling detail and musicality not just matching the acclaimed level of performance set by the original Mission 700 series, but exceeding it in the same vein as the new Mission 700 and 770.

A new classic in its own right: the Mission 750!
