m73i loudspeaker

For Mission’s new m70i series the ‘i’ stands for ‘improved’. Improved cabinet, improved crossover, improved
performance. Cabinet bracing has been revised to improve panel stiffness and reduce coloration, whilst crossover
redesign has resulted in improved bass performance, increased midrange dynamics and smoother treble detail.

The Mission m73i is a floor-standing loudspeaker with powerful extended bass, natural sounding midrange
and smoothly integrated, detailed treble. High efficiency and a large dynamic range coupled to truly impressive
power handling give this speaker an ease and musical image that belies its size.

The sheer micro-fibre dome tweeter offers smooth extended treble with no harshness, sibilance or lack of
definition.

With its blend of purposeful styling and dynamic performance the m73i is ideal for music and for the front
channels in home cinema installations, where its outstanding bass capability and transient attack will ensure a
believable, lifelike performance.

features benefits
Unique IDG inverted driver geometry Smooth phase response throughout the cross-over
region.
Rigid, profiled MDF baffle Improved transient performance.
High Impact ABS moulded baffle Excellent HF dispersion and low diffraction to improve
stereo imaging and create precise images in space.
High dB/watt efficiency Equivalent to extra power for amplifier — greater
dynamic range.
Anti-turbulence port Clean tight bass with optional resistive loading for room
optimisation.
Sheer Micro-Fibre soft dome HF unit Ensures excellent high and low level resolution.
Neodymium HF unit magnet Improved microdynamics and reduced signal induced
demagnetisation effects.
Laser trimmed pressure balanced dome Improved dynamics and reduced time smear.
High-quality crossover components Silicon Steel inductors reduce level dependent
distortion.
Audiophile grade Polyester Capacitors increase detail
transmission.
Bonded woven glass composite LF cone Stiff and light ensuring good sensitivity with superb LF
response.
Pressure balanced, ventilated spider Improved dynamics and reduced time smear.
Magnetically shielded Suitable for all AV systems.

setting up

• RUN IN for at least 24 hours before serious listening.

• Place within 10 — 40cm from rear wall, smaller rooms need less distance.
• Utilise optional resistive loading to optimise bass performance.
• Ensure minimal toe-in is used, imaging will be impaired.
• May be used with any competent budget electronics. Will clearly show improvements as
source improves.

Note: The recommended amplifier power rating is for undistorted power. Loudspeakers will be damaged by
amplifiers overdriven into distortion, no matter what the power rating of the amplifier. For larger rooms or high
listening levels it is safer to choose an amplifier with a power output near the maximum rating of the loudspeaker.
