H ISTORY
ince its fo undation in 1977, Mission h as been seen
as one of the l eading lights in th e development of
S
gies to create some of the most exciting and rewarding loudspeaker
systems i n every sector of the market.
In 1978, Mission Electronics launched the 770 loudspeaker. This
revolutionary product featured the world’s fi rst commercially
realisti c polypropyle ne drive unit. Afte r this swiftly fo llowed the
acoustic engineering and in applying new technolo-
‘Engineered without
compromise’
Through out the 1970s and 1980s, developm ent continued
with an emphasis on materials technology. As polymer chemistry adv anced, more advan ced materials and comp osites became
available. Experiments on these materials yielded signifi cant
advances in acoustic engineering; the lighter, stronger materials
more able to track smal l signal changes.
Into the 1990s, M ission bec ame a force to be re ckoned with. T he
name spread internationally, and became synonymous with high
quality audio around the world. As sales grew, investment in
develop m e n t co n tinued crea t i n g t h e 75 se ries; th e 78 series; and in
2001, the ‘Pilastr o’ was launched.
Pilastro was the culmination of all those years’ knowledge.
Engineered without compromise, it represents an ideal in
loudspe aker develop ment – a stateme nt product t hat is, withou t
doubt, o ne of the fi nest loudspeakers in audio history.

loudspeaker to use the now
famous ‘inverted driver array’.

Many of the acoustic advances achieved
through the Pilastro project have since been
implemented in our newer loudspeaker
ranges . The new E- series l oudspe akers all s hare the se crets o f drive
unit technology and cabinet construction from their illustrious
predecessor and likewise, the M-series loudspeakers and even
the new 790 series all owe a great deal to the research that was
undertaken for that project.
Through an engineering-led approach to product development,
Mission remains today a standard by which other loudspeaker
companies are measured. With huge investment and with group
resources that include the ability to manufacture every single
component of every product, you can be sure that Mission will
continue to defi ne loudspeaker reproduction standards.

‘superspeakers’. Their breathtaking looks and
superlative build, barely do justice to their high sensitivity,
huge bandwidth and e xp l os ive d y nam ic r a ng e.
Features include a unique ‘ring-dome’
tweeter unit, natural hemp mid-range
driver and ‘balanced force equilibrium’
bass drivers, all optimised to create
a frequency bandwidth from 20Hz
to 56kHz, all within 3dB of mean.
Dispersion is optimised through a
symmetrical driver arrangement –
perfectly time a nd phase aligned.
Cabinet construction is equally impressive. A new material, ’Granitech’, has been employed for the fi rst time in a
loudspea ker structu re - virtual ly eliminating r esonance and
producing sensational transient attack and rhythm.
The crossover uses silver wiring, hardwired between the
very fi nest audiophile components available, all built into a
separate enclosure in the plinth.

acclaimed R&D team. Featuring striking good looks and a performance
to match, each system has been designed to perform as well in
multi-channel as it does in two-channel stereo. Mission’s constant
pursuit of excellence has resulted in close attention being made not only
to the acoustic performance, but also to the styling of the product. The
cabinet design is directly derived
from the research into Mission’s
fl agship model, Pilastro. A curved
profi le to each of the cabinets
optimises dispersion and greatly
reduces resonance, with each range
using a multi-layer laminate for an
impressively robust construction.
