Classically
Modern
The 770 soon became highly popular. It quickly turned into Mission's
best-selling speaker and gravitated naturally into Mk2 and Mk3 revisions with
improvements to sensitivity and power handling. After that, the design
eventually migrated to Freedom and other variations, but none of them
created the sales impact or notoriety that the original 770 received.
For the ‘new’ Mission 770, I was eager to revisit the original Mk1 design and
hear, again, the highly musical performance that I had witnessed back in 1978.
The key to the 770’s performance was, indeed, that combination of
polypropylene cone and resonance controlled cabinet and, so, this became
the emphasis for the design of the new model.
Accordingly, we developed a new polypropylene driver, mimicking the
extended response and low colouration of the original, while upgrading the
motor system to take account of modern power handling and dynamic
requirements.
