Mission LX CONNECT, wireless speaker system couples innovative wireless technology, an award-winning loudspeaker series and versatile hi-fi grade connectivity options for a ‘True Wireless’ speaker system and a new level of convenience and performance that changes the game for wireless speaker systems.
LX CONNECT offers wireless connectivity via an advanced wireless hub which hosts all of the connectivity options for your listening pleasure. The LX CONNECT HUB intelligently transmits left and right audio signals to the appropriate speaker via uncompressed, 5.8Ghz wireless audio signal transmission. There is no trailing cable between speakers or hub with no need for the speakers to be connected together via a cable, for ‘True Wireless’ audio.The speaker system is based on the Mission LX-2 MKII speakers, with specially engineered, high-power digital amplification modules offer 50w from each cabinet (100w per system). Following the LX MKII series design and performance, the LX CONNECT speaker maintain the Mission trademark ‘Inverted Driver Geometry’ design and precision-tuned crossover to yield improved transient attack and astonishing detail. Mission DiaDrive bass units 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.
The LX CONNECT HUB, which acts as the central console for all of your music sources; including analogue, optical and coax digital inputs. The LX CONNECT HUB is a high-specification, standalone audio hub in it’s own right. There is a dedicated HDMI ARC connection to bring high fidelity, true wireless performance for TV, movies and games, and Bluetooth aptX connections for wireless streaming of hi-resolution audio from tablets and smartphones.
The LX CONNECT HUB also doubles as a high performance USB DAC, equipped with the ESS Sabre32 ES9018K2M Reference DAC, and hi-fi grade headphone amplifier that will outperform most dedicated headphone amp / DAC combinations in this price-point, alone! Unlike other wireless and active speakers where controls and inputs are often placed awkwardly on the back panel, the LX CONNECT HUB is easily controlled via the tactile interface and LCD display or, for even more convenience, you can use the included remote.
Sporting fantastic new Lux Black and Lux White, as well as classic Walnut Pearl finish options for the speakers; the Mission LX CONNECT is a truly wireless speaker that represents an expertly presented audio experience for hi-fi lovers, gamers and contemporary digital music enthusiasts, alike.

LX in the Blood
- Based upon the award-winning Mission LX-2 MKII speakers
- Built-in 50W class D amplification and onboard DSP
- Speaker sensitivity (2.83V @1m) is 87dB, with frequency response 55Hz to 20kHz
- Custom designed serrations in the driver surrounds to help scatter interfering reflections from localised surfaces to the dome and cone
- 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
