					<description><![CDATA[Wow, this is a cracker of a streamer! New to the fold, the Mission 778S will fit perfectly with any HiFi system.

It looks stunning alongside the already brilliant Mission 778X integrated amplifier. Offering all the features we thrive today, Spotify, Tidal Connect, Roon ready, On board ESS Sabre reference DAC. Perfectly priced for a perfect streamer packed full of pure goodness!]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 778X marked Mission’s return to integrated amplification after more than three decades, setting a new benchmark for compact, high-value hi-fi electronics.</p>
<p>Now, the 778S completes the system — delivering modern streaming performance with the same musical priorities, visual harmony, and attention to engineering detail. Designed specifically for 778X owners and contemporary hi-fi systems, the 778S becomes the streaming soul of your setup.</p>
<p>Mission has long earned its reputation through loudspeakers that defy expectations — delivering exceptional sound, reﬁned design, and extraordinary value. In that same spirit, the 778 series revives a beloved Mission concept, blending vintage aesthetics with forward-thinking performance.</p>

<h1>Streaming Platform &amp; Control</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element ">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>As with any network audio device, the streaming platform’s stability and ﬁdelity are paramount. With the 778S, beneath the Mission styling lies a platform developed in collaboration with Silent Angel, maestros in high-end digital audio streaming. Powered by a custom implementation of the Silent Angel streaming engine — and optimised by Mission engineers — the 778S delivers superior ﬁdelity, rock-solid stability, and remarkable versatility.</p>
<p>Accessing music is effortless through the Mission 778S app, which carries the full power of the Silent Angel ecosystem. Stream directly from Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, TuneIn Radio, DLNA, Airplay 2 and USB HDD devices, all with a sleek, responsive interface. And for advanced users, the 778S is fully Roon Ready — certiﬁed for bit-perfect playback and seamless integration over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, with no setup required.</p>
<p>Getting started is quick and simple, with conﬁguration over dual-band Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet. Whether controlling playback from a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, users enjoy robust performance and intuitive control at every level.</p>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  subtitle-box white">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<h1>Engineering &amp; Performance</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element ">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>At its heart, the 778S features the <strong><b>ESS Technology ES9038Q2M Reference DAC</b></strong>, employing 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology for ultra-low noise and exceptional signal integrity.</p>
<p>All incoming audio is precision upsampled to 352.8kHz or 384kHz — pushing digital artefacts beyond the audible spectrum and allowing the DAC to operate in its optimal linear range. The result is cleaner transients, greater dynamic nuance, and a more natural soundstage.</p>
<p>Music gains space, texture, and presence — not through excess processing, but through careful engineering.</p>
<p>Users can override the upsampling facility and apply one of five DAC reconstruction filters to fine-tune the sound to their taste. These ‘sonic tailoring’ options are especially useful given the variable quality of digital audio formats and streaming services.</p>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  subtitle-box white">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<h1>Connectivity &amp; Flexibility</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element ">
<div class="wpb_wrapper">
<p>To support a wide range of systems and preferences, the 778S offers both digital (USB Audio, SPDIF coaxial, optical) and analogue outputs. Whether paired with the 778X, a standalone DAC, powered speakers, or integrated amp, the 778S adapts to any setup with elegance and ease.</p>
<p>Analogue outputs — including a pair of balanced XLR connections — unlock the full potential of high-resolution formats such as DSD, bypassing the sample-rate limitations often associated with digital-only connections like SPDIF. The balanced signal path further reduces noise and interference over longer cable runs, preserving signal integrity and delivering pure, uncompromised sound exactly as the DAC was designed to provide.</p>
<p>The 778S also facilitates private listening via its onboard headphone ampliﬁer, capable of driving a wide range of headphone types with clarity, power, and precision. Whether you’re using reference-grade over-ears or everyday dynamic cans, the 778S delivers a performance that rivals standalone headphone amps — matching the digital streaming credentials for a complete listening hub in the hi-ﬁ and head-ﬁ domains.</p>
<p>As with all Mission products — loudspeakers or electronics — specs are just the start. The real goal is music in true-to-life form.</p>
<p>Music is the master. Technology follows.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<strong>The Mission LX4 Speaker Package is designed to stand out head and shoulders above the competition. Mission have cracked the real deal with this price/package! Just add your AVR and you are good to go!</strong>

The LX MKII Series is the latest in a long line of distinguished Mission loudspeakers, joining the multi-award winning speakers from the mid-level QX Series and the flagship ZX Series.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>Mission LX4 Speaker Package</strong></h4>
<p>The Mission LX4 Speaker Package contains:</p>
<ul>
<li>1x Pair LX-4 MKII</li>
<li>1x Pair LX-1 MKII</li>
<li>1x LX-C1 MKII Centre</li>
<li>1x LX-10SUB MKII Subwoofer</li>
</ul>
<p><iframe title="Mission LX MKII Series - Overview" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/squeqDKANqo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h6><strong>Continuous Innovation</strong></h6>
<p>From over 40 years of British Hi-Fi heritage and experience, LX MKII is a representation of Mission’s non-stop pursuit of improvement and excellence.</p>
<p>One of the critical areas highlighted by the development of Mission ZX and QX models was the use of serrations in the driver surrounds to help scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces to the dome and cone.</p>
<h6><strong>Advanced New Driver Surrounds and Crossover</strong></h6>
<p>LX MKII now incorporates these serrations into the driver surrounds, adding further finesse to the drive unit outputs and providing a smoother frequency response.</p>
<p>With minor perturbations in the driver response ironed out, the crossover for each model has been optimised to take advantage of the improved performance.</p>
<p>The result is that the LX MKII builds on the winning formula of the LX, both enhancing the clarity of midrange and treble detail and improving the micro-dynamics of the musical performance for an even more thrilling listener experience.</p>
<h6><strong>Inverted Geometry Drive Design</strong></h6>
<p>Mission’s classic IDG (Inverted Driver Geometry) driver format positions the high frequency below the bass / midrange driver meaning the length of path is equalised so the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height. A proprietary principle that improves ‘time alignment’ and thus transient performance in Mission speakers.</p>
<h6><strong>A New Start, With a New Finish</strong></h6>
<p>Standout new finish options follow the Mission mantra of fusing Hi-Fi heritage with contemporary design. LX MKII is beautifully finished in a choice of walnut pearl, and the latest Lux Black and Lux White matte finishes.</p>
<p>LX MKII is the epitome of affordable high-end audio, harnessing materials, techniques and technologies that you would only expect to find in other speakers costing many times the price</p>
<p>Whatever your choice of music, LX MKII will reproduce it with outstanding accuracy, detailing and realism, embodying Mission’s traditional adage since the 1970s</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h4>Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers</h4>
<p>The Mission 750 Bookshelf Speakers were developed as a result of overwhelming demand for the ‘<strong><a href="https://www.rapalloav.co.nz/product/mission-700-standmount-speakers/">700 series</a></strong>’ standout industrial design, heavily inﬂuenced by Mission’s original and seminal 700 series, the Mission 750 brings technology and performance traits from critically acclaimed 770 and 700 models but in a more compact, stand-mount (or bookshelf) design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper"></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong>Unlike the 770 and 700, which are both more than just reintroductions in being ‘bang up to date’ innovations based upon predecessor models, the new Mission 750 is an entirely new concept and model, designed speciﬁcally to accommodate the market segments and budgets below that of the larger models in the series.</p>
<p>Although equally complex as any loudspeaker, in terms of development, the all-new Mission 750 beneﬁts from utilising many of the same innovations of award-winning predecessors, making for a loudspeaker model that is technically advanced yet classically styled.</p>
<h6><strong>Cabinet</strong></h6>
<p>Starting with the cabinet, the Mission 750’s housing is a mere 355mm (h) x 216 (w) x 270 (d). Perfect for a ‘bookshelf’ speaker application.</p>
<p>Yet, it still employs a design and build standard equal to that of the Mission 700, including the multi-layer sandwich construction and specially developed acoustic damping adhesive complemented by a custom internal bracing structure.</p>
<p>A lining of foam and long-hair ﬁbre aids internal resonance control, while the custom-proﬁled rear reﬂex ports aid in bass extension beyond what is traditionally expected from a cabinet of these compact dimensions.</p>
<p>The now-famous-again white front bafﬂe and Mission logo are instantly recognisable. As too is the rich black or walnut real-wood veneer, albeit in a format more accommodating for smaller spaces and easier placement.</p>
<p>Taking the exceptional Mission 770 aside, you’d be forgiven for expecting a modern Mission loudspeaker to maintain the proprietary Inverted Geometry Design – and the Mission 750 does not disappoint!</p>
<h6>IDG</h6>
<p>IDG is not just a design statement; it is a crucial component of Misson’s loudspeaker design from the original 700 series onwards.</p>
<p>By placing the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the sound path is balanced, resulting in sound waves that coincide at the listener’s head height.</p>
<p>This technique improves ‘time alignment’.</p>
<p>However, this design is not simply a matter of inverting the speaker cabinet.</p>
<p>Every aspect of the industrial and mechanical design requires precise calculations to ensure that the positioning, spacing, and alignment contribute to the goal of achieving optimal ‘time alignment’.</p>
<p>This is achieved through a meticulous crossover design process that is of artisan quality.</p>
<h6><strong>Polypropylene bass/midrange driver and motor system</strong></h6>
<p>Within the IDG format, the all-new Mission 750 model, just like the 700 and 770, uses a newly developed polypropylene bass/midrange driver and motor system but is now in a new 5.25” proﬁle speciﬁcally designed for this model.</p>
<p>This innovative cone and driver technology not only enhances the loudspeaker’s overall design to meet modern power handling and dynamic requirements, but it also maintains the 700 series extended response and low colouration.</p>
<p>Every aspect, from the rigid, cast chassis to the low-density surround, has been thoroughly examined to deliver a driver with greater rigidity and precision-controlled cone-termination for dynamic performances and tight, fast, and energetic output.</p>
<h6><strong>High-frequency reproduction</strong></h6>
<p>High-frequency reproduction is provided by the 28mm, lightweight, coated microﬁbre dome, as found in the Mission 700 model, and likewise, placed below that bass/midrange driver.</p>
<p>With a high-frequency performance eerily close to that of the ﬂagship 770, the Mission 750 also incorporates a specially damped rear chamber which aids in resonance control, extends bandwidth and facilitates the crossover frequency for super smooth treble performance.</p>
<p>As with all Mission loudspeakers, an uncompromising workﬂow and standard is employed from concept to delivery.</p>
<p>This includes hundreds of hours of listening plus custom-designed Computer-aided Optimisation technology that allows for ﬁne-tuning the crossover, perfecting the combination of the driver selection for the ultimate loudspeaker system cohesion.</p>
<p>He result is a ‘sum of all its parts’ design that brings a musical character with thrilling detail and musicality not just matching the acclaimed level of performance set by the original Mission 700 series, but exceeding it in the same vein as the new Mission 700 and 770.</p>
<p>A new classic in its own right: the Mission 750!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>Mission 700 Standmount Speakers</strong></h4>
<p>The Mission 700 Standmount Speakers bear a striking aesthetic resemblance to the original. However, there are many complex innovations and improvements that bring this revered model bang up to date.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper"></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<p><strong>Emphasis on Design</strong></p>
<p>As with the flagship 770, Mission has developed a new polypropylene bass/midrange driver and model-specific motor system. This transducer not only upgrades the loudspeaker’s integral design to take account of modern power handling and dynamic requirements, but it also maintains the extended response and low colouration of the original model with all the hallmarks and distinction of a class-leading loudspeaker.</p>
<p>From the rigid, cast chassis to low-density surround, every aspect has been revisited to offer a driver with improved rigidity and precision-controlled cone-termination for dynamic performances and offer tight, fast, energetic output.</p>
<p>The distinctive reflex port has been carefully profiled both internally and externally to achieve very low distortion and extension to below 38Hz in-room – quite an achievement from a cabinet of this size!</p>
<p>Employing a new lightweight, coated microfibre dome for the high-frequency driver, the Mission 700 replicates the flagship 770 with a specially damped rear chamber that offers super smooth treble performance, largely thanks to the resonance control offered by such a design.</p>
<h6><strong>Inverted Driver Geometry</strong></h6>
<p>The Mission 700 was a precursor for what would become a Mission standard in an unconventional driver array, something Mission refers to as ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’. Not just a design statement, IDG is a staple of Misson loudspeaker design from the 700 onwards.</p>
<p>By positioning the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the length of the path is equalised so the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height. This principle improves ‘time alignment’. Such design requires more than just inverting the speaker cabinet.</p>
<p>Every aspect of the industrial and mechanical design requires a precision calculation to ensure the positioning, spacing and alignment aids the objective of optimum ‘time alignment’. This is perfected by an artisan-level crossover design.</p>
<h6><strong>The Crossover</strong></h6>
<p>Part of the Mission design process includes advanced software-based crossover mapping and simulation to accurately equalise the balance of the drivers for seamless integration into the overall loudspeaker performance.</p>
<p>Not breaking with tradition or protocol, the efficiency of the software-based development is matched in equal part with 1000s of hours of listening tests.</p>
<p>The resulting crossover design brings a musical character with thrilling detail and musicality not just matching but superseding the acclaimed level of performance set by the original Mission 700.</p>
<p>As it was in the beginning with the original, the new Mission 700 packs technology and know-how into a benchmark loudspeaker design that is never short in bass definition, frequency response; lack of colouration; imaging; transient attack; depth and perspective; accuracy and linearity; speed and dynamic range.</p>
<p>And as you’d expect from a model with such nostalgia and history, the emotion in the musical performance is never short in supply!</p>
<h6><strong>The Cabinet</strong></h6>
<p>Form factor remains true to the original, wherever possible. This includes hand-applied, rich rose-tinted walnut or black real wood veneers and a luxurious laminated white-front baffle.</p>
<p>However, as spoken of in the original design, the Mission 700 makes use of less visible innovations incorporated into the design. The new 700 cabinet uses a sandwich construction of differing woods bonded by a layer of damping adhesive. Internal bracing adds further strength and support while a mixture of foam and long hair fibre provides internal resonance and reflection absorption.</p>
<h6><strong>The Mission 700 Stand</strong></h6>
<p>Perfected to a fraction of a millimetre, the Mission 700 Stand is precision manufactured.</p>
<p>The base plate and structure are perfectly stable and offer critical damping from unwanted vibrations, ensuring you hear the Mission 700 perform as it was intended!</p>

<h6><strong>Emphasis on Design</strong></h6>
<p>The emphasis for the design of the new Mission 770 is, indeed, that combination of polypropylene cone and resonance controlled cabinet. Accordingly, Mission has 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.</p>
<p>Naturally, like the original, the driver is built onto an 8-inch die-cast chassis with larger rear ‘windows’ to reduce early reﬂections back through the cone. Special care has been taken to marry a low-density nitrile surround to the cone to match its impedance and reduce reﬂections from the cone edge.</p>
<h6><strong>Drivers Anew</strong></h6>
<p>A new 20cm polypropylene mid/bass driver was developed for the re-engineered 770, mimicking the extended response and low coloration of the original, while upgrading the motor system to take account of modern power handling and dynamic requirements.</p>
<p>Like the original, the driver is built onto a die-cast chassis with large rear ‘windows’ to reduce early reflections back through the cone. Special care has been taken to marry a low-density nitrile surround to the cone, to match its impedance and reduce reflections from the cone edge.</p>
<p>The new polypropylene cone is loaded with minerals to make it stiffer than the original, yielding fast, tight bass that enables the listener to hear exactly how bass instruments are being played.</p>
<p>This is balanced by tuning the cabinet and reflex port to a very low frequency, avoiding the ‘one note bass’ that is typical of a lot of bass reflex systems. In addition, the port is strongly flared at both inlet and outlet to smooth airflow and eradicate distortion. Bass extends powerfully and cleanly to below 30Hz in room, which is remarkable for this size of speaker.</p>
<p>The Woven textile soft dome treble unit – true to form, with a high ﬂux ferrite magnet, is engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension.</p>
<p>This new treble unit uses a lightweight, damped microfibre dome with an ultra-smooth response, backed by a damped rear chamber that pushes the fundamental resonance well below the crossover region. The quality of this 28mm dome marries perfectly with the mid/bass driver to ensure evenness of character throughout the range of the whole speaker.</p>
<h6><strong>Endless Development</strong></h6>
<p>The highly researched crossover – 1000s of hours of listening tests perfect the coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material.<br />
IAG’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, has worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless integration between the drive units, so the speaker behaves as one music-making system.</p>
<p>Today’s advanced software crossover mapping and measuring techniques allow Mission to perfect the balance between bass and midrange and adjust the crossover to the treble unit by mapping the acoustic crossover slopes with extreme accuracy.</p>
<p>Even so, the choice of EQ and crossover for the new 770 involved hundreds of hours of listening sessions using a wide variety of music, and over 170 circuit iterations were tried before the final crossover was settled upon.</p>
<p>The circuit was then mapped out onto separate bass and treble PCBs using very short signa paths and accommodating high-quality components such as super-transparent polypropylene capacitors and air core inductors, maintaining the simplicity and elegance of the original whilst improving critical elements. The resulting transparency to musical detail ensures the thrilling emotion of music is fully conveyed, whilst maintaining a seamless transition between the mid/bass and treble units</p>
<h6><strong>The Cabinet</strong></h6>
<p>The drivers and crossover are housed in a real-wood veneered cabinet, measuring 59x30x30cm (HxWxD), with a white laminated front baffle echoing the style that made the Mission 770 a stand-out hi-fi product in the 1970s and ’80s. Beneath the rich, rosy-tinged walnut or black veneers lies a further technological advancement.</p>
<p>While the original 770 reduced midrange coloration using the BBC-influenced technique of a thin-wall cabinet damped by mass loading with bitumen pads, the new 770 features a twin-wall sandwich of high-density MDF and particle board bonded by a layer of high-damping adhesive. This results in a cabinet with panel resonance well below audibility, allowing the drive units to do their job unsullied by cabinet coloration at all frequencies.</p>
<p>Internal bracing adds strength to the front baffle and braces the drive unit to the cabinet, creating a mechanical support that aids the dynamic performance of the bass unit and reveals the microdynamics of the musical performance. This is complemented by a layer of acoustic foam and damping fibre, strategically placed to absorb reflections inside the cabinet without overdamping the bass quality.</p>
<h6><strong>A Stand Up Design</strong></h6>
<p>The new Mission 770 is not only designed and engineered in the UK; it is made there too.</p>
<p>Mission’s parent company, IAG, has expanded its facilities in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire – the traditional home of Mission – to incorporate key manufacturing, assembly and finishing processes for specially selected products, in addition to the R&amp;D function already located here.</p>
<p>A 9,000ft2 production facility has been added to the existing building in Huntingdon, including a new anechoic chamber, making a total of 25,000ft2 of office, lab and manufacturing space.</p>
<p>The Mission 770 stand is custom designed in conjunction with Mission’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau. Every aspect is considered to create the perfect presentation of the 770 speaker. Hand made in the England, with robust British steel, the 770 stand reinforces the no-compromise approach in the ‘Made in UK’ theme for the return of the Mission 770.</p>
