Mission 762 Bookshelf speakers

The followers of functional aesthetics, the Mission company, offered their own version of the design of shelf loudspeakers. The rectangular case of Mission 762 is a little beveled in front and is extended by a large plastic figured panel. The panel smoothes the corners near the tweeter in order to reduce diffraction, and also complements the MF/LF driver with the similarity of a reflector, which focuses the sound. The soft dome tweeter is located under the driver. According to the developer, this position of the tweeter helps to achieve synchronization of the sound waves attainment to the listener (in other words, time alignment). In addition, a short magnetic system made it possible to place the tweeter directly in the front panel using an elastic damping suspension (D2IS technology). Much attention was paid to the material of MF/LF driver. As a result, aramid fibers, specially formed into a three-dimensional matrix and connected by a suitable resin, were chosen. The driver works for a bass reflex with a small port on the back.

The unusual design of Mission 762 is in harmony with the bright and unconventional sound. The high frequencies are perfectly drawn, the bass sometimes coarsens, but it is very mobile and musical, the mid-frequencies are clear, but slightly pushed back. The tonal balance tends to lightness. Musical images are slightly reduced. The dynamics is not bad, the scene is wide and deep enough. General spatial impressions are very believable. Loudspeakers have a very narrow focus, so you have to place them as precisely as possible. They feel quite free in any musical genre. Their desire to turn everything into a holiday is almost always noticeable, that is they do not really feel sad, but they just do not want to. Sometimes it happens on the verge of slight hysteria. This is, probably, their mission. And, apparently, this is a brand, family feature. I think that these loudspeakers are suitable for people who are on a positive wave. Strongly recommendable.
