MISSION INTRODUCES THE RETRO-INSPIRED MISSION 750 BOOKSHELF SPEAKER

Mission has announced the launch of the Mission 750 speaker. This new addition to Mission’s lineup pays homage to the company’s heritage while incorporating modern design elements and technology.

RETRO STYLING

The Mission 750 joins the ranks of the classic ‘bookshelf’ speaker format, a design that Mission has produced over the decades. Measuring 355x216x270mm (HxWxD), this compact speaker boasts a retro-inspired industrial design reminiscent of Mission’s early models, featuring white baffles and the distinctive Mission logo.

INVERTED DRIVER ARRANGEMENT

One of the standout features of the Mission 750 is its inverted driver arrangement, a signature design element pioneered by Mission. This configuration, known as Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG), enhances stereo imaging and ensures a seamlessly coherent and transparent sound, say Mission.

The mid/bass cone of the Mission 750 is crafted from polypropylene infused with minerals, resulting in fast, tight bass reproduction. The speaker’s treble unit incorporates a lightweight, damped microfiber dome.

The Mission 750 is meticulously engineered, with precise calculations guiding every aspect of its design. From the cabinet construction to the crossover network, each component is optimized to deliver optimal acoustic performance.

PETER COMEAU

Peter Comeau, Mission’s Director of Acoustic Design, remarked on the new speaker: “The 750 fits into Mission’s current range as a compact speaker for those who admire the much-acclaimed 770’s retro design and captivating sound but are unable to accommodate it physically and financially.”

With its blend of retro styling and cutting-edge technology, the Mission 750 promises to uphold Mission’s motto, ‘Music leads, technology follows,’ the Mission 750 stands as a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to delivering the “emotional power of music through innovative speaker design”.
