Mission Speakers

Mission of excellence in speakers from across the pond

Mission is an English speaker manufacturer that has always had an exemplary product line for their price range, designing speakers with reliable excellence at high standards.

The company was founded in 1977 and it only took a year to incorporate exciting new speaker technologies. In 1978 Mission released the 770 speaker design that used polypropylene drivers. This innovative design strikes the difficult balance in cone material being strong yet lightweight and the design is currently one of the most popular driver materials on higher end speakers. Still more manufacturers have developed their own materials that closely imitate the transparent properties of polypropylene.

In 1979 Mission Electronics released the first DC-coupled transcription tone-arm in the Mission 774 and 700. The designs inverted drive array brought exotic speaker performance to the mainstream consumer. In 1983 they introduced the Mission Isoplat and opened possibilities in the use of Sorbothane to isolate sensitive components from vibration.

Today Mission makes a variety of speaker lines, many specifically striking the hard-to-master balance between home theater application and musicality. The m5 series is an excellent expression of this balance with a complete 5.1 system that has tower front speakers delivering full range stereo music.

More affordable cinema packages from Mission include the m30i series, a complete set of bookshelf sized speakers that includes a sub -- perfect for smaller rooms.

In todays competitive consumer electronics world complete 5.1 systems are the only way many consumers are even considering buying speakers. A large percentage of those consumers are balancing a variety of concerns when they choose a speaker. For the modern family a complete kit of 6 boxes in their family space is simply not practical. Many of these consumers are turning to micro-satellite designs or to a Home Theater In A Box solution (HTIB). Missions M-Cube is for just such a consumer.

The M-Cube is six small cube speakers that fit almost anywhere. Tiny cube speakers, Mission says, will surprise you with the amount of sound you get from such a small package. The M-Cube is probably a fine low-budget system when youre in the market for HTIB, but it wont be the miracle alternative to a full sized speakers system.

For the uncompromising consumer, the Mission Pro series is the top of the product line. Missions Pro line offers highly regarded speaker performance for surprisingly reasonable prices.

Regardless of your budget, Mission speakers deserve to be auditioned. And, if youre looking for speakers that are anywhere over $1000 for a complete 5.1 system, this is where youll find the best quality from the Mission line. Mission specializes in top notch mid-range speakers. Theyre not the BMWs of the speaker world, but more like a reliable VW. Mission provides a comfortable zone when you dont have $12,000 to throw at a speaker solution.
