Unlike the 770 and 700, this loudspeaker is not an update of a prior model, plucked from Mission’s past, but a new design, sporting classic influences that celebrate Mission’s illustrious heritage.
Measuring 355x216x270mm, the new Mission 750 is a classic bookshelf speaker – a compact format that has brought Mission great renown across the decades. Its industrial design sits perfectly alongside the re-engineered 770 and 700 in Mission’s current range, inspired by the white baffles and distinctive logo that adorned the company’s early designs from the 770 onward.
A distinctive feature of the Mission 750 is its inverted driver arrangement. Until the Mission 700 arrived in 1980, two-way dynamic speakers were invariably designed with the tweeter at the top and the main driver below. The 700 pioneered a different approach, placing the treble unit below the mid/bass driver. This configuration, known as IDG (Inverted Driver Geometry), became a signature Mission feature and is a cornerstone of the company’s designs to this day – including the new 750.
IDG aids time alignment – by placing the mid/bass driver closer to ear level with the treble unit positioned beneath, the path lengths from the two drivers’ acoustic centers are equalized so that the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height. This, the company says, improves stereo imaging and contributes to the speakers’ seamlessly coherent and transparent sound.
The 750’s mid/bass cone is fashioned from polypropylene, the use of which in commercial loudspeakers was pioneered by Mission. However, according to the press release, this new 135mm cone is loaded with minerals to make it stiffer than regular polypropylene diaphragms, yielding fast, tight bass that enables the listener to hear exactly how bass instruments are being played. The 750’s treble unit incorporates a lightweight, damped, 28mm microfiber dome, backed by a damped rear chamber that pushes the fundamental resonance well below the crossover region.
The cabinet and precisely profiled rear-firing reflex port are tuned to a very low frequency, avoiding the “one note bass” that is typical of some bass reflex systems. Bass extends powerfully and cleanly to below 42Hz in room, the company says, impressive for a speaker of this size.
The Mission 750 is available in a choice of walnut or black wood veneer.
