The Mission 79SE series revisions have brought a new level of musicality to this range. These SE (Sonically Enhanced) designs maintain the striking cosmetic form, while introducing a number of new acoustic improvements. A principal change is the addition of a new silk-dome tweeter mounted on a die-cast waveguide to improve dispersion and midrange integration with the bass-mid unit. This unit is mounted on an elastomer cushion to produce a smoother, cleaner and more detailed treble performance.

The 79SE series also utilizes Mission’s newest ‘perfect phase’ crossover technology, engineered to provide seamless integration between the drive units. The audible result is a coherent performance over the whole speaker bandwidth together with a highly stable stereo soundstage that enhances the enjoyment of your listening experience. With years of audiophile expertise built-in, the SE’s are able to once again bring back the iconic Mission sound - it is truly a great example of modern design married to a powerful sonic performance.

Technology

TFCT (Transverse Folded Cabinet Technology)
We use two U-shaped sections bonded into each other to form a box, creating a structure that is much stronger and more rigid than other alternative methods. The U-coupled front and rear baffle greatly reduces cabinet vibration and hence colouration.

Viotex
Viotex is an extremely fine weave material which is both incredibly light and, when woven into a matrix and impregnated, is also very strong. Capable of moving at incredibly high speeds with minimal inertia, Viotex not only improves the upper frequency response band limit and improves the detail resolution, it is incredibly natural and relaxed in performance.

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.
Keraform (Ceramic Matrix Cone) ‘Keraform’ ceramic matrix drivers are a Mission first. Unlike the so-called ‘ceramic hardening’ applied to aluminium cones, ‘Keraform’ is a true ceramic material impregnated into a fibre matrix and then oven cured. Having a greater stiffness to mass ratio than any previous drive unit material, performance parameters for midrange performance, transient attack and detail resolution are exceptional, and set new standards in their class.

Viscous laminated treble unit
The viscous laminated high frequency dome treble unit offers exceptionally smooth high frequency performance with a superior off-axis response. The ferro-fluid cooled voice-coil design is optimized to provide minimal compression at high volume levels with an ultra-fast transient response.

D2IS (Damped driver isolation system)
The unique D2IS system is designed to reduce the effect of front baffle vibrations on the h.f. unit’s output. A low profile neodymium magnet enables the treble unit housing to be fully contained within the front baffle, mounted in a resiliently damped, compliant cradle. This increases the decoupling the treble and bass units, eliminates virtually all unwanted mechanical and definition, particularly through the vital crossover region is considerable.
