  • A New 20cm Polypropylene Mid/Bass Driver Was Developed For The Re-Engineered 770, Mimicking The Extended Response & Low Colouration of The Original, While Upgrading The Motor System Take Take Account Of Modern Power Handling & Dynamic Requirements
    • Naturally, Like The Original, The Driver Is Built Onto a 8 Inch Die-Cast Chassis with Larger Rear ‘Windows’ To Reduce Early Reflections Back Through The Cone
    • Special Care Has Been Taken To Marry a Low-Density Nitrile Surround To The Cone To Match Its Impedance & Reduce Reflections From The Cone Edge
    • The New Polypropylene Cone Is Loaded With Minerals To Make It Stiffer Than The Original, Yielding Fast, Tight Bass That Enables The Listener To Hear Exactly How Bass Instruments Are Being Played
    • This Is Balanced By Tuning The Cabinet & Reflex Port To a Very Low Frequency, Avoiding The ‘One Note Bass’ That Is Typical Of a Lot Of Bass Reflex Systems
    • In Addition, The Port Is Strongly Flared At Both Inlet & Outlet To Smooth Airflow & Eradicate Distortion
    • Bass Extends Powerfully & Cleanly To Below 30Hz in Room, Which Is Remarkable For This Size Of Speaker
  • The Woven Textile Soft Dome Treble Unit – True To Form, With a High Flux Ferrite Magnet, Is Engineered For Smooth, Detailed HF Extension
    • This New Treble Unit Uses a Lightweight, Damped Microfibre Dome with An Ultra-Smooth Response, Backed By a Damped Rear Chamber That Pushes The Fundamental Resonance Well Below The Crossover Region
    • The Quality Of This 28mm Dome Marries Perfectly With The Mid/Bass Driver To Ensure Evenness of Character Throughout The Range Of The Whole Speakers
• Endless Development
  • The Highly Researched Crossover – 1000s Of Hours Of Listening Tests – Perfect The Coherent, Seamless Musical Output That Is Both Thrilling & Natural In Its Rendition Of Any Source Material
    • IAG’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, has Worked Tirelessly To Ensure a Seamless Integration Between Drive Units, So The Speaker Behaves As One Music-Making System
  • Today’s Advanced Software Crossover Mapping & Measuring Techniques Allow Mission To Perfect The Balance Between Bass & Midrange & Adjust The Crossover To The Treble Unit By Mapping The Acoustic Crossover Slopes With Extreme Accuracy
    • Even So, The Choice Of EQ & Crossover For The New 770 Involved Hundreds Of Hours Of Listening Sessions Using a Wide-Range of Music, & Over 170 Circuit Iterations Were Tried Before Final Crossover Was Settled Upon
    • The Circuit Was Then Mapped Out Onto Separate Bass & Treble PCBs Using Very Short Signal Paths & Accommodating High-Quality Components Such as Super-Transparent Polypropylene Capacitors & Air Core Inductors, Maintaining The Simplicity & Elegance Of The Original Whilst Improving Critical Elements
    • The Resulting Transparency To Musical Detail Ensures Thrilling Emotion Of Music Is Fully Conveyed, Whilst Maintaining a Seamless Transition Between Mid/Bass & Treble Units
• The Cabinet
  • The Drivers & Crossover Are Housed In a Real-Wood Veneered Cabinet with a White Laminated Front Baffle Echoing The Style That Made The Mission 770 a Stand-Out Hi-Fi Product In The 1970s & ’80s
  • Beneath The Rich Rosy-Tinged Walnut or Black Veneers Lies a Further Technological Advancement
    • While The Original 770 Reduced Midrange Colouration Using The BBC-Influenced Technique Of a Thin-Wall Cabinet Damped By Mass Loading with Bitumen Pads, The New 770 Features a Twin-Wall Sandwich Of High-Density MDF & Particle Board Bonded By a Layer Of High-Damping Adhesive
    • This Results In a Cabinet with Panel Resonance Well Below Audibility, Allowing The Drive Units To Do Their Job Unsullied By Cabinet Colouration At All Frequencies
  • Internal Bracing Adds Strength To The Front Baffle & Braces The Drive Unit To The Cabinet, Creating a Mechanical Support That Aids The Dynamic Performance Of The Bass Unit & Reveals The Microdynamics Of The Musical Performance
