Perfected over hundreds of hours of critical listening by Mission’s lead acoustic designer, Peter ...Perfected over hundreds of hours of critical listening by Mission’s lead acoustic designer, 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 price-class. From over 40 years of British Hi-Fi heritage and experience, LX MKII is a representation of Mission’s non-stop pursuit of improvement and excellence. 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. The LX-3 MKII uses a 25mm microfiber dome tweeter to produce crisp and detailed high frequencies, with a neodymium magnet for maximum magnetic force.
This guide helps owners of the Mission LX MKII Standmount Speakers understand and get the most out of their audio investment. Designed for audiophiles seeking high-quality sound at an accessible price point, the LX MKII series delivers crisp highs and controlled lows. Note that optimal performance relies on careful speaker placement and matching with appropriate amplification.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the recommended break-in period?
Allow approximately 50-100 hours of play time for the speakers to break in and reach their optimal performance.
What type of amplifier is best for these speakers?
A good quality amplifier with a power rating suitable for the speakers' impedance is recommended. Check the manufacturer's specifications for more details.
How do I clean the speaker cabinets?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period?
Check the product documentation or contact your dealer for warranty information.
Can I use these speakers with a surround sound system?
These speakers are designed primarily for stereo listening. They can be used as part of a surround sound system, depending on the system configuration.
Where should I place the speakers in my room?
Experiment with different positions, but generally, place them away from walls and at ear level. Forming an equilateral triangle with the listening position is a good starting point.
Troubleshooting
No sound.
Check speaker cable connections at both the speakers and amplifier. Verify that the amplifier is turned on and the correct input is selected.
Distorted sound.
Reduce the volume. Ensure the amplifier is not clipping. Check the speaker cable connections for loose wires.
Weak bass response.
Ensure the speakers are positioned correctly, not too close to the walls, and experiment with placement. Check that the amplifier settings are correct, and no bass frequencies are being filtered out.
