Mission 750 Speakers (Pair)

The Mission 750 Speaker is inspired by previous designs. However, it features an entirely new concept. It is a smaller bookshelf model and is technically advanced while maintaining a classic look.

The precision cabinet is well-braced and resonance-free. Additionally, The drivers feature a 5.25” bass/midrange unit and a 1” tweeter. The classic white baffle is present as is the inverted driver placement. The result is a smooth and punchy sound. Maximum power handling is 100 Watts.

Cabinet

The cabinet of the Mission 750 Speaker is smaller than the 700 and the 770 is just 355mm high. That is the perfect size for a bookshelf speaker. Additionally, the cabinet uses a multi-layer sandwich construction along with acoustic damping adhesive.

Also, there is custom internal bracing. The result is a very rigid resonance-free enclosure. This is also helped by the long-hair fibre damping material. Lastly, the rear-firing reflex port creates a punchy bass with more power than you would expect from such a compact design.

Iconic white baffle and luxury finish

The iconic white baffle and Mission logo are a feature of the Mission 750 Speakers. Additionally, a traditional black veneer is available along with luxury walnut. Lastly, the inverted driver placement continues with the tweeter at the bottom. However, This is more than just a design feature.

Inverted Geometry Design

The inverted driver placement has a technical objective. It places the more directional high frequencies on a line with the listener's ears. This aids with clarity and the timing of the high and low-frequency sounds. However, there is more to it than just inverting the cabinet. The crossover has to be designed to match.

Crossover design

The crossover in the Mission 750 Speaker is designed to split the incoming frequency into two bands for feeding to the separate drivers. Nowadays crossovers are usually computer-modelled to ensure an accurate and flat frequency response.

High-quality capacitors and inductors are used to create a high pass filter with a crossover frequency of 2.4 kHz, in this case. These have to have a long life and not drift in value, hence polypropylene types are often used.

Mission 750 bass driver

The Mission 750 Speakers feature a newly developed polypropylene coned bass/midrange unit. Additionally, there is a new motor unit and a smaller 5.25” diameter coned driver. This better matches the smaller form factor of this bookshelf speaker.

The driver is designed to have the same power handling and dynamic response as the rest of the 700 range. It also has an extended bass response and low colouration. Lastly, the cast chassis and low-density surround ensure a tight, fast, and energetic output.

Lightweight tweeter

The tweeter of the Mission 750 Speakers has a lightweight 28mm dome. The dome is made of coated microfibre as used in the Mission 700 model. It is placed below the bass unit. As a result, high-frequency performance is on a par with the flagship 770 model. Moreover, there is a damped rear chamber that reduces resonance and extends the bandwidth.
