  Mission Speakers With Parawave Polyamide

By Mike Wheeler | Friday | 06/06/2008

Synergy Audio Visual’s 79 series of Mission loudspeakers include the 790 and 796 monitors, a matching center speaker, the 79C, and 79AS 300W active subwoofer. The 79AS subwoofer uses a high-powered class A/B amplifier topology, maintaining signal purity without the need for noisy ‘switch-mode’ power supplies.

This series offers multilayer cabinet construction that utilises three different densities of resonant absorbing particle composite to form a rigid enclosure. This is said to reduce colouration and resonance that plagues ordinary speakers.
A profiled baffle's gentle curves are optimised for dispersion. The narrow base works with Mission's inverted driver geometry to produce good off-axis response as wide as 70 degrees.

The bass and mid-range drivers are made from a special polyamide material known as ‘Parawave'. These drivers are the result of extensive research by Mission into the properties of aramid fibres and how they can be used in loudspeaker drivers.

Exhibiting great linear pistonic motion over their entire frequency range, the drivers retain speed and accuracy inherent in the most complex of music material.

Polyamide has outstanding strength-to-weight characteristics, giving the 79 range the accuracy for the most demanding of program materials.

The Parawave drivers also utilise a new iridium phase plug on the pole piece to minimise standing waves created inside the cone area. Their die-cast chassis from lightweight cast aluminium is designed to reduce through cone reflections to a minimum.
