Mission 700 speakers are a refreshed version of the original 700. Which were first introduced over 40 years ago. They are the next step after the 770 loudspeakers that were recently updated. With the Mission 700, a lot of attention has been paid to keeping the soundstage that was perfected back in 1980.
At the same time incorporating changes and improvements that will take the Mission 700 into the 21st century and beyond.
Mission 700 Bookshelf Speakers
Misson, as with their flagship 770 model. Has created a newly designed polypropylene bass/midrange driver along with a specific motor system for the unit. This unit not only brings the integral loud speaker design up to date with today’s power handling and dynamic requirements. But it also keeps the extended response and low coloration of the original model. In addition to all the hallmarks and brilliance of a class-leading loudspeaker.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction
Excellent rigidity and cone termination control are provided by a precision driver design that comes after re-examining. Amongst other things, the rigid cast chassis and low density surround. The purpose here is to allow the driver to reproduce dynamic performances and deliver tight, fast, and energetic output.
The unique manner in which the reflex port has been shaped and smoothed both internally and externally. It allows it to have very low distortion and in-room extension to below 38Hz. A remarkable feat for a cabinet of this size!
Resonance Control
Misson 700 adopts a newly designed lightweight and coated microfibre dome for the treble unit. It follows the lead of the flagship 770 with a specially damped rear chamber that provides very smooth treble performance mostly due to the resonance control given by such a design.
Inverted Driver Geometry
An unconventional driver arrangement that came to be known as ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’ (IDG) was first demonstrated by Mission 700. Which later became a standard feature of the Mission series. IDG is not just a stylistic decision. But has become a Mission loudspeaker design’s hallmark starting with the 700.
The treble unit is positioned beneath the bass/midrange driver in order to equalize the length of the path so that the sound waves meet at the listener’s ear level. This concept is called ‘time alignment’ and it is being improved through this principle.
Apart from the industrial and mechanical design aspects. Everything had to go through precision calculation to ensure that the positioning, spacing, and alignment contribute to optimum ‘time alignment’. This is fine tuned by a highly skilled level crossover design.
Detail and Musicality
Misson’s design method also incorporates the use of cutting edge software driven crossover mapping and simulation to properly balance the loudspeaker drivers for flawless integration into the complete loudspeaker output. The musical character of the resulting crossover design delivers thrilling detail and musicality not only matching. But surpassing the highly acclaimed level of performance of the original Mission 700.
Deep Base Response
Just like the original Mission 700, the new Mission 700 packs technology and knowledge into a landmark loud speaker design that is definitely never lacking in bass definition, frequency response; absence of colouring; imaging; transient attack; depth and perspective; accuracy and linearity; speed and dynamic range. As expected from a model of such nostalgia and history. The emotional involvement of the musical performance is always there!

Summary of the Mission 700 Bookshelf Speakers
Wherever possible, it stays with the original form factor which includes hand-applied rich rose tinted walnut or black real wood veneers and a luxurious laminated white front baffle. Though the Mission 700 itself is one of the less visible innovations incorporated into the design, as mentioned in the original design.
The new 700 cabinet consists of a sandwich construction of different woods bonded together with a layer of damping adhesive. In addition to the internal bracing for strength and support. A mixture of foam and long hair fibre is used for internal resonance and reflection absorption.
