... [+]Nowadays, Mission is part of the IAG which includes brands like Audiolab, Castle, Leak, Quad and Wharfedale. The popularity of Wharfedale’s recent Linton and Denton revivals , as well as the arrival of the first new Leak electronics for more than 40 years, shows there is nostalgic demand for classic and much-loved British audio designs, albeit in re-engineered form.
Mission says that now is the ideal time to bring back the 770 speakers in re-engineered form. The new model is faithful to the original blueprint, which was one of the most influential British speakers of all time. However, Mission’s engineers have made full use of modern audio technologies and materials to take the performance to a completely different level.
For Peter, the new Mission 770 speakers have been a labour of love; exactly as it was for Farad Azima, all those years ago. When Peter revisited the original speaker at the start of the project, he decided that two key elements were fundamental to its musical performance. The first was the use of a polypropylene cone – claimed to be unique in a consumer product at the time, while the second was the impressive resonance control of the speaker cabinet design.
The original 770 speakers used a single coil to equalize the bass to midrange response as well as crossover to the treble unit. The advanced software crossover mapping and measuring techniques used today enabled Mission to balance the bass and midrange and adjust the crossover to the treble unit. The choice of EQ and crossover for the new 770 design involved hundreds of hours of listening sessions using a wide variety of music.
