Paramid
Mission’s ‘Paramid’ driver is formed using a sandwich structure. Aramid polymer fibres with incredible tensile strength are sandwiched between two stiffer pulp layers. This creates a cone which is very light and stiff, yet has superb internal damping.
The internal damping drastically reduces cone-induced distortion by absorbing the transverse waves that travel through a cone following an impulse.
Symmetrical driver array
A symmetrical configuration of drivers is used to improve dispersion and to improve imaging, Placed equidistant above and below the high-frequency driver, mid-range and bass drivers create an even horizontal dispersion and a controlled dispersion on the vertical plane.
Having the treble unit centrally placed enhances the imaging by mimicking a point-source dispersion. Interference patterns when a stereo pair of speakers are used create an almost holographic sense of presence with the listener able to discern the exact location of instruments and voices within the soundstage.
Grania cabinet construction
Grania is a multi-layer composite of MDF and particle board formulated to provide precise control of vibration. The woods have a range of densities, which are able to absorb a much wider range of resonant frequencies than would be possible using a single material construction.
Manufactured entire by Mission using thin layers of boards, each layer is coated with a radio frequency activated glue, the cabinet shapes are formed and then ‘set’ using glue activation. This produces an incredibly strong and inert structure with superb absorbtion qualities.
Audiophile grade crossover
Mission use advanced computer modelling to theoretically produce an optimum response and minimum phase shift through each crossover point. This is then refined through critical listening tests and panel evaluation to produce an ideal performance.
Our audiophile crossovers include components to reduce the effects of driver impedance peaks which would otherwise cause unwanted phase shifts through the crossover region.
Crossover components are chosen for their specific audio qualities, mounted on custom designed PCBs for minimum interaction and mounted using soft resin to dampen any mechanical interference.
Magnetically shielded
All moving coil loudspeakers use some kind of magnet system to produce the movement within the voice-coil. The magnetic field, if unshielded can affect CRT televisions if placed in proximity to the field.
Mission use an inverted field shielding system and neodymium ‘rare-earth’ magnets which have a very concentrated flux density over the plane of the axis, but very little leakage towards the side of the magnet (and speaker).
All our magnetically shielded loudspeakers are ideal for use in close proximity to all television sets or wherever magnetic interference is an issue.
Direct Coupled Crossover
The objective of any internal loudspeaker design is to transmit as much of the music as possible to the drivers with the fewest possible components in the way to degrade the signal. By mounting the crossover section directly to the rear loudspeaker terminals, the signal path is shortened and number of internal connections reduced. |
