LX-1 MKII Standmount/Surround Speakers LX-1 MKII is a 2-way standmount loudspeaker with a 4″ bass driver and 1″ softdome treble unit. The LX MKII Series is the latest in a long line of distinguished Mission loudspeakers, joining the multi-award winning speakers from the mid-level QX Series and the flagship ZX Series. LX MKII maintains the Mission ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’ design, which means the path length between the drivers is optimised. Unique at this cost-point, this arrangement allows the precision-tuned crossover to yield improved transient attack and detail. Perfected over hundreds of hours of critical listening by Mission’s Peter Comeau, Mission LX MKII utilises trickle-down innovations from the revered ZX series. Improvements in the famous Mission DiaDrive bass unit offer superior control of the low-frequency diaphragm while a refined high-frequency performance and a re-engineered cabinet bracing system further help create a loudspeaker system that outperforms its cost-class. Continuous Innovation One of the critical areas highlighted by the development of Mission ZX and QX models was the use of serrations in the driver surrounds to help scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces to the dome and cone LX MKII now incorporates these serrations into the driver surrounds, adding further finesse to the drive unit outputs and providing a smoother frequency response The result is that the LX MKII builds on the winning formula of the LX, both enhancing the clarity of midrange and treble detail and improving the micro-dynamics of the musical performance for an even more thrilling listener experience Continuous Innovation One of the critical areas highlighted by the development of Mission ZX and QX models was the use of serrations in the driver surrounds to help scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces to the dome and cone LX MKII now incorporates these serrations into the driver surrounds, adding further finesse to the drive unit outputs and providing a smoother frequency response Continuous Innovation One of the critical areas highlighted by the development of Mission ZX and QX models was the use of serrations in the driver surrounds to help scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces to the dome and cone LX MKII now incorporates these serrations into the driver surrounds, adding further finesse to the drive unit outputs and providing a smoother frequency response Walnut Pearl Lux White Lux Black Inverted Geometry Drive Design Mission’s classic IDG (Inverted Driver Geometry) driver format positions the high frequency below the bass / midrange driver meaning the length of path is equalised so the sound waves coincide at the listener’s head height. A proprietary principle that improves ‘time alignment’ and thus transient performance in Mission speakers Standout new finish options follow the Mission mantra of fusing Hi-Fi heritage with contemporary design. LX MKII is beautifully finished in a choice of walnut pearl, and the latest Lux Black and Lux White matte finishes. LX MKII is the epitome of affordable high-end audio, harnessing materials, techniques and technologies that you would only expect to find in other speakers costing many times the cost of LX-1 Whatever your choice of music, LX MKII will reproduce it with outstanding accuracy, detailing and realism, embodying Mission’s traditional adage since the 1970s A New Start, With a New Finish Mission QX1MKII Front Mission QX1MKII Rear Mission QX1MKII Grills LX-1 MKII Specifications General description 2-way bookshelf speaker Enclosure type Bass reflex Transducer complement 2-way Bass driver 4"(100mm) composite fibre Treble driver 25mm microfibre dome AV shield No Sensitivity (2.83V @ 1m) 86dB Recommended amplifier power 20-80w Peak SPL 99dB Nominal impedance 8Ω Compatible Minimum impedance 4.2Ω Frequency response (+/-3dB) 58Hz ~ 20kHz Bass extension(-6dB) 55Hz Crossover frequency 2.7kHz Cabinet Volume (in litres) 5.5L Carton size 440 x 290 x 345mm
