Mission 700 Standmount Speakers – Black Oak

• Black Real Wood Veneers & Laminated White-Front Baffle
• Part Of Mission’s 700 Series of Speakers
  • Revisited As a Sister Model To The Eagerly Anticipated Reintroduction Of The Mission 770 – a Model Which Heralded The Return To UK Manufacturing For The Mission Brand; The Mission 700 Takes What Was Referred To As An ‘Industry Benchmark’, In The Original 700 Model, But Utilises Mission’s 45 Years Of Evolution & Development In Loudspeaker Design
  • Led By Mission’s Director Of Audio Design, Peter Comeau, The New Mission 700 Bears a Striking Aesthetic Resemblance To The Original. However, There Are Many Complex Innovations & Improvements That Bring This Revered Model Bang Up To Date
• Matching Stand Is Available As An Optional Extra & Is Also Available With The Speakers At a Special Package Price
• 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker
  • Enclosure Type: Bass Reflex – Front Port
• Inverted Driver Geometry
  • The Mission 700 Was a Precursor For What Would Become a Mission Standard In An Unconventional Driver Array, Something Mission Refers To As ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’
    • Not Just A Design Statement, IDG Is a Staple Of Mission Loudspeaker Design From The 700 Onwards
  • By Positioning The Treble Unit Below The Bass/Midrange Driver, The Length Of The Path Is Equalised So That The Sound Waves Coincide At The Listener’s Head Height. This Principle Improves ‘Time Alignment’
    • Such A Design Requires More Than Just Inverting The Speaker Cabinet. Every Aspect Of The Industrial & Mechanical Design Requires a Precision Calculation To Ensure The Positioning, Spacing & Alignment Aids The Objective Of Optimum ‘Time Alignment’. This Is Perfected By An Artisan-Level Crossover Design
• Emphasis On Design
  • As With The Flagship 770, Mission Has Developed a New Polypropylene Bass/Midrange Driver & Model-Specific Motor System
  • This Transducer Not Only Upgrades The Loudspeaker’s Integral Design To Take Into Account Of Modern Power Handling & Dynamic Requirements, But It Also Maintains The Extended Response & Low Colouration Of The Original Model With All The Hallmarks & Distinction Of a Class-Leading Loudspeaker
  • From The Rigid, Cast Chassis To Low-Density Surround, Every Aspect Has Been Revisited To Offer a Driver with Improved Rigidity & Precision-Controlled Cone-Termination For Dynamic Performances & Offer Tight, Fast, Energetic Output
• 6.5″ Mineral Loaded Polypropylene Cone Bass Driver
• 28mm Soft Dome Treble Driver
• Part Of The Mission Design Process Includes Advanced Software-Based Crossover Mapping & Simulation To Accurately Equalise The Balance Of The Drivers For Seamless Integration Into The Overall Loudspeaker Performance
  • Not Breaking With Tradition or Protocol, The Efficiency Of The Software-Based Development Is Matched In Equal Part With 1000s Of Hours Of Listening Tests
  • The Resulting Crossover Design Brings a Musical Character With Thrilling Detail & Musicality Not Just Matching But Superseding The Acclaimed Level Of Performance Set By The Original Mission 700
• As It Was In The Beginning With The Original, The New Mission 700 Packs Technology & Know-How Into a Benchmark Loudspeaker Design That Is Never Short In Bass Definition, Frequency Response; Lack Of Colouration; Imaging; Transient Attack; Depth & Perspective; Accuracy & Linearity; Speed & Dynamic Range
  • And As You’d Expect From a Model With Such Nostalgia & History, The Emotion In The Musical Performance Is Never Short In Supply
• The Distinctive Reflex Port Has Been Carefully Profiled Both Internally & Externally To Achieve Very Low Distortion & Extension To Below 38Hz In-Room – Quite An Achievement From A Cabinet Of This Size
  • Employing A New Lightweight, Coated Microfibre Dome For The High-Frequency Driver, The Mission 700 Replicates The Flagship 770 With a Specially Damped Rear Chamber That Offers Super Smooth Treble Performance, Largely Thanks To The Resonance Control Offered By Such a Design
• The Cabinet
  • Form Factor Remains True To Te Original Wherever Possible – This Includes Hand-Applied, Black Real Wood Veneers & a Luxurious Laminated White-Front Baffle
  • However, As Spoken Of In The Original Design, The Mission 700 Makes Use Of Less Visible Innovations Incorporated Into The Design
    • The New 700 Cabinet Uses a Sandwich Construction Of Differing Woods Bonded Together By a Layer Of Damping Adhesive
    • Internal Bracing Adds Further Strength & Support While a Mixture Of Foam & Long Hair Fibre Provides Resonance & Flection Absorption
