Formed in 1977, Mission has been designing and manufacturing high-quality audio products for affordable prices making their signature sound available for all. The Mission LX MK2 series is no exception to this with a full range of speakers including bookshelf, floor-standing, centre, surround and subwoofer models ranging in power and affordability from the LX1 Starting at just £189/pair. For those requiring a more from there system, the floor standing LX 4, 5 and 6 offer increased performance with high-performance drivers.
Mission LX1 MK2
The LX1 is the entry-level 2 way model in the Mission LX MK2 range. Being a bookshelf speaker, it is designed for small to medium spaces and fits neatly on your desk or bookshelf. The LX1 Mk2 features new driver technology as well as new integrated crossover technology used in the popular XZ and QX series. These upgrades offer a smoother frequency response making music cleaner and easier on the ear whilst listening. Driving the LX1 is a single 4″ (100mm) composite fibre bass driver with a 25mm microfibre dome for the high frequencies.
Mission LX2 MK2
The LX-2 MK2 is the mid-level bookshelf speaker in the LX Mk2 range replacing the original LX-2 model with an improved DiaDrive bass unit and re-engineered cabinet bracing system. Again the LX2 is a 2-way speaker in a bass-reflex configuration. The LX2 features the same upgraded crossover and driver technology as the LX1. The added power on offer compliments the increased bass/mid driver – a 5″ (130mm) composite fibre driver. The high frequencies are reproduced by the same 25mm microfibre dome tweeter found in the LX1.
Mission LX3 MK2
The LX3 is the largest bookshelf speaker in the range sitting above both the LX-1 and 2. The LX-3 has the same upgrades and improved DiaDrive bass unit and cabinet bracing. The LX3 is again a 2-way design in a Bass reflex format. Delivering the high-performance output putting at the top of the bookshelf LX range is large 6.5″(165mm) composite fibre bass/mid driver accompanied by the range standard 25mm microfibre dome tweeter reproduces the detailed high frequencies.
Mission LX4 MK2
The LX4 Mk2 is the first of the floor-standing models in the new Mk2 range. Being the most accessible tower model, the LX4 is a 2-way design like the previous bookshelf speakers. Despite having three drivers, the mid and bass drivers work in parallel. These woofers are both 5” and made of composite fibre allowing them to produce a powerful low/mid-range. This is combined with a 25mm microfibre dome tweeter featuring a neodymium magnet, which was chosen for its lightweight material and is designed to sound clear, dynamic and detailed.
Mission LX5 MK2
The LX5 is the mid-level floor-standing model in the LX Mk2 range sitting above the LX4 in performance. The LX5 MK2 stands at 995mm and is the second-largest floor-standing speaker in the series. Like the rest of the series, it has been fitted with new technology that’s based on the QX, and Mission’s flagship ZX range. The two bass drivers are 6.5” and are constructed from an advanced dual-layer fibre formulation, which exhibits excellent self-damping and has a very high stiffness to mass ratio. In addition, the LX-5 MKII is fitted with a lightweight 25mm microfiber dome tweeter with a neodymium magnet for maximum magnetic force in a small space.
Mission LX6 MK2
The Mission LX6 Mk2 is the flagship of the Mission LX MK2 range and the largest floor-standing speaker. The LX6 is the only speaker in the range that hosts a 3-way configuration offering advanced and extremely precise performance for large spaces. It includes all the added upgrades from the previous models including Comb Tooth Serrations, Mission’s IDG design, self-damping and latest driver technology.
Driving the LX6 is two 6.5″(165mm) composite fibre drivers to facilitate the bass, a single 5″(130mm) composite fibre driver for the mid-range and finally for the high frequencies, the range standard 25mm microfibre dome is incorporated. All of this leads to a more powerful bass and a mid-range that is focused on vocal and instrumental clarity whilst maintaining crisp, clear and detailed high frequencies.
Mission LX-3D
The LX-3D is a 2-way surround wall mount speaker designed for home cinema systems. The LX-3D uses a 4″ advanced dual-layer fibre bass driver for bass/mid frequencies. This is paired with the standard LX Mk2 range 25mm microfibre dome tweeter.
Mission LX-C1&2 MK2
The LX-C 1/2 are both centre channel speakers specifically designed for home cinema surround use. The C1 Mk2 is the entry-level model while the C2 is the flagship centre model with increased driver sizes.
Mission LX MK2 Subwoofer (LX-10)
Looking to add that extra level of sub-harmonics? The LX-10 Subwoofer is for you! It is an active unit with a built-in 200w amplifier that drives a large 250mm PP cone long-throw driver delivering frequencies as low as 40hz.
In conclusion, the newly improved and upgraded LX Mk2 series will not disappoint… with a product to suit every need from a small desktop setup to a large full-scale home cinema system.
