Mission LX-1 MKII 4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) at Vinyl Sound, Canada
The Mission LX-1 MKII is a 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker pairing a 4" bass driver with a 1" soft-dome tweeter, available at Vinyl Sound in Canada. The LX MKII Series is the latest in a long line of distinguished Mission loudspeakers, sitting below the multi-award-winning QX Series and the flagship ZX Series. It retains Mission's trademark Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG), which optimizes the path length between drivers so sound waves coincide at the listener's ear height for improved time alignment and transient attack — delivering astonishing detail that is unique at this price point.
Perfected over hundreds of hours of critical listening by Mission's lead acoustic designer Peter Comeau, the LX MKII draws trickle-down innovations from the revered ZX series. Improvements to the famous Mission DiaDrive bass unit give superior control of the low-frequency diaphragm, while refined high-frequency performance and a re-engineered cabinet bracing system help the LX-1 MKII outperform its price class. It is finished in a choice of Walnut Pearl, Lux White, and Lux Black, and is available in Canada through authorized Mission dealers including Vinyl Sound.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Mission LX-1 MKII?
A: The Mission LX-1 MKII is a 2-way bass-reflex bookshelf speaker with a 4" (100mm) composite-fibre bass driver and a 25mm microfibre dome tweeter, sold as a pair. It uses Mission's Inverted Driver Geometry and DiaDrive bass technology for accurate, detailed sound, and is available at Vinyl Sound in Canada.
Q: Are the LX-1 MKII sold as a pair or each?
A: The Mission LX-1 MKII is sold as a pair, so a single purchase gives you both the left and right speakers for a complete stereo setup.
Q: What amplifier power do the LX-1 MKII need?
A: Mission recommends amplifiers rated between 20 and 80 watts. With a sensitivity of 86dB (2.83V @ 1m) and an 8Ω-compatible nominal impedance (4.2Ω minimum), the LX-1 MKII is easy to drive with most modern integrated amplifiers and receivers.
Q: How do the LX-1 MKII differ from the larger LX-2 MKII?
A: Both share the same LX MKII design language, Inverted Driver Geometry, and DiaDrive technology. The LX-1 MKII is the compact model with a 4" bass driver, ideal for smaller rooms, desktops, and near-field listening, while larger models in the range use bigger drivers for greater bass extension and output in larger spaces.
Q: What is Inverted Driver Geometry?
A: Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG) positions the tweeter below the bass/midrange driver so the path lengths are equalised and the sound waves arrive together at the listener's head height. This proprietary Mission principle improves time alignment and transient performance.
Q: What finishes are available?
A: The LX-1 MKII is available in Walnut Pearl, Lux White, and Lux Black matte finishes.
Q: Where can I buy the Mission LX-1 MKII in Canada?
A: The Mission LX-1 MKII is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Mission dealer in Canada, with Canada-wide shipping and authorized warranty support.

Advanced New Driver Surrounds and Optimised Crossover
Developed from the Mission ZX and QX models, the LX-1 MKII incorporates serrations in the driver surrounds that scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces away from the dome and cone. This adds finesse to the drive-unit outputs and yields a smoother frequency response. With minor perturbations in the driver response ironed out, the crossover has been optimised to take full advantage of the improved performance — enhancing midrange and treble clarity and improving the micro-dynamics of the musical performance for an even more thrilling listening experience.
Inverted Driver Geometry (IDG) Drive Design
Mission's classic Inverted Driver Geometry positions the high-frequency unit below the bass/midrange driver so the path length is equalised and the sound waves coincide at the listener's head height. This proprietary principle improves time alignment and therefore transient performance, a signature trait of Mission loudspeakers that delivers precise imaging and lifelike detail.
DiaDrive Bass and Re-Engineered Cabinet
Perfected over hundreds of hours of critical listening by Mission's lead acoustic designer Peter Comeau, the LX MKII draws trickle-down innovations from the flagship ZX series. Improvements to the famous Mission DiaDrive bass unit offer superior control of the low-frequency diaphragm, while refined high-frequency performance and a re-engineered cabinet bracing system combine to create a loudspeaker that outperforms its price class — reproducing any genre with outstanding accuracy, detail, and realism.
A New Start, With a New Finish
Standout finish options follow the Mission mantra of fusing Hi-Fi heritage with contemporary design. The LX-1 MKII is beautifully finished in a choice of Walnut Pearl, Lux White, and Lux Black matte. The epitome of affordable high-end audio, it harnesses materials, techniques, and technologies you would normally only expect to find in speakers costing many times the price — the result of over 40 years of British Hi-Fi heritage and Mission's non-stop pursuit of improvement.
