Mission 778X amp
”Mission’s 778X is a superb integrated amplifier with a wonderfully balanced sound and a comprehensive spec sheet.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
The compact amp with a big heart
At around half the width of regular amps and available in black or silver, the Mission 778X is perfect for tighter spaces or for when you simply want a less intrusive system. It might be small but that hasn’t stopped Mission from packing it full of handy features. Bluetooth, turntable, digital and analogue inputs mean that you can connect everything from your turntable to TV. With 45 watts per channel power output, it’s every bit as punchy as a typical full-size amp around this price, too.
Mission signature sound
Just like Mission’s speakers, the 778X turns its hand to all music genres, producing a detailed, foot-tapping response. The perfectly balanced sonic signature suits Classical music just as well as rock, pop and dance, making it the perfect choice for anyone with a wide interest in different types of music. With 45 watts per channel, there’s ample power for most rooms and tastes.
Hi-Res music playback
With the superb ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC at its heart, the 778X also handles your hi-res music files with aplomb. Use the USB PC input and the Mission decodes right up to studio quality 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256. With the optical and coaxial inputs, the hi-res music capacity is a still impressive 24-bit/192kHz – the usual standard for most hi-res music files.
Bluetooth for wireless sound
For wireless streaming, the 778X also comes with built-in Bluetooth. Compatible with aptX and AAC, the Mission offers the potential for CD quality Bluetooth streaming. Simply pair with your smartphone, tablet or other device and stream your stored music and favourite music services, such as Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music.
Full digital connectivity
Helping you make the most of your hi-res and digital components, the 778X features a wide array of digital sockets. Choose between USB, coaxial and two optical connections for your inputs – ideal for a computer, TV, Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, network streamer and many other devices with a digital output. There are also optical and coaxial digital outputs, making this amp perfect for digital recorders or digital multiroom feeds.
Connect analogue sources
The 778X hasn’t forgotten about your analogue sources, either. Twin RCA inputs are perfect for plugging in sources such as a tuner, cassette player or any other source with an analogue output. With its pre-amp output, you can also connect to a higher spec power amp, as a future upgrade.
Bring out your vinyl
For Moving Magnet equipped turntables, the 778X comes fitted with a built-in phono pre-amp. Much more than just a ‘spec filler’, the low-noise, JFET-based circuit with precise RIAA equalisation gets the very best from your turntable’s sound. Low distortion and a wide frequency response mean you get to hear the most subtle details with crystalline clarity.
High quality headphone output
Like the phono pre-amp, the headphone output is carefully and skilfully developed. The 778X features a dedicated headphone amp with a high slew rate. This gives you sound quality that’s much more powerful and three-dimensional than you’d usually get with most standard headphone outputs. It also drives a wide range of headphones with ease – even if they’re current-hungry designs.
Make it your mission to get a quality amp at the heart of your system, with the versatile 778X.
Mission 700 speakers
Vibrant and engaging, the Mission 700 speakers rock with your music.
A classic, re-energised
Launched in 1980, the original Mission 700 bookshelf speakers soon established themselves as the speakers to beat for an energetic, upbeat sound. Fundamental to Mission’s future reputation, they’re the speakers that did most to establish the legendary Mission sound. The latest Mission 700 runs with the same sonic signature and iconic design but uses Mission’s 45-years of experience to completely update the design and construction. In short, this is Mission’s ‘80s classic for the ‘20s.
Powerful and precise bass – just as you’d expect from Mission
Overseen by Mission’s legendary audio designer, Peter Comeau, the latest 700 has the same powerful, addictive bass response that helped make the original so popular. Just like many classic Mission speakers, the new 700 uses white, mineral loaded polypropylene bass cones for a strong and agile bottom end. If you like your music to be foot-tappingly upbeat, you’ll not be disappointed. They also go deep – really deep for their size. With a bass extension that drops down to 38Hz, these stand-mount speakers easily match many smaller floorstanders for bass depth.
Bright and detailed at the top end
Just as memorable as their agile bass, the original Mission 700 is revered for its top-end bite and detail. This is another tradition that the latest model continues. With soft dome tweeters, the top end is as smooth as it is detailed. Modern refinements include rear chambers that isolate the delicate drivers from standing waves within the cabinet, helping to further reduce distortion.
Inverted and time-aligned drivers for expansive soundstage
As with the originals, the latest Mission 700 speakers position the tweeters inboard and beneath the woofers. This inverted design helps time-align the sound, meaning that all the frequencies arrive at your ears at the same time! It also promotes that famous Mission ‘wall of sound’ that made the originals such a hit.
Choice of top quality finishes
Although the style is very much original 700, look closely and you’ll see a whole host of improvements. Thanks to magnetically attached grilles, the iconic white baffle is now free from ugly grille mounting sockets. The immaculately finished cabinets use real wood veneers - available in period perfect Black Oak or Walnut Pearl.
Reconnect with your music, with the upbeat sound from the Mission 700s.
Mission 700 speaker stands
Enhance your speakers’ sound and style with the Mission 700 Speaker Stands.
The perfect match for Mission 700 speakers
With their stylish quad columns, these stands offer the matching Mission speakers the best possible support. They also match the base dimensions, giving a neat and harmonious fit. As well as offering a secure base, the stands also lift the speakers to the ideal height, meaning you get the most detailed and lifelike sound.
Ideal for other standmount speakers
Although these stands are made to match the Mission 700 speakers, they also make a great match for many other standmount speakers. The 260mm x 270mm top plate suits most medium/larger standmount speakers, with the 485mm height (18 inches plus around an inch for the spikes) also ideal.
Vibration damping
Featuring hardened, stainless steel spikes, the stands adjust to sit firmly on your floor. The spikes also isolate the speakers from the floor, giving a purer, less woolly sound. The high carbon steel columns are fitted with internal damping that effectively minimises vibration, promoting an even more natural sound.
Add the Mission 700 Speaker Stands and optimise these special speakers’ sound and style.
