Full Description

• Traditional Speaker

The QX range has striking looks and impressive performance - offering amazing value in both hi-fi and AV set-ups. Advanced new designs and extensive, exacting listening tests have evolved a loudspeaker that offers exciting and dramatic performance, no matter what style of music or movies - you prefer. Five core hi-fi models - 2 bookshelf designs and 3 floor standing speakers - are joined in the Mission QX range range by a dedicated centre speaker, two-way surround speaker and selection of subwoofers.

Mission brings its 40 years of audio expertise to this exciting new speaker range. The QX offers many additional features making these speakers an excellent choice for all levels of hi-fi and home cinema integration.  Advanced DiaDrive cone system features a front inverted dome cone which delivers smooth response, driven by secondary sub cone to transfer maximum transient impact from the motor system. Oversized magnet motor system offers high sensitivity for maximum dynamic impact from any amplifier. New ‘ring dome’ treble unit offers high levels of musical detail with low distortion - the usual dome cavitation effects are avoided. Slot port is profiled to reduce ‘chuffing’ distortion, yielding accurate bass performance Carefully crafted acoustic crossover slopes achieve perfect integration between the drivers for a seamless performance. Crossover uses laminated iron core bass coil, audiophile standard polypropylene capacitors, spaced on the PCB to avoid magnetic field interaction.

The semi-circular arc shape of the cabinet corners smooths diffraction form the drive units, yielding better power distribution into the room. The inclusion of aluminium top and bottom plates to the cabinet not only gives an attractive, high-tech appearance to the speakers but also enhances sound quality. The added mass and stiffness reduces resonance from the cabinet walls, lowering colaboration and distortion. The new slot port design features ribs to enhance airflow and avoid the "chuffing" often heard from bass-reflex ports. The result is enhanced low frequency performance with lower distortion.

Sound Woofers

Bass drivers feature Mission DiaDrive system has natural mid-range quality with superb bass transient impact is provided by a seam-free curvilinear cone formulated from a mixture of soft pulp and acrylic fiber specially designed for mid-range clarity and lucidity. DiaDrive twin cone design:Backing the curvilinear front cone is a stiff, conical support with increased area of contact with the voice coil for outstanding transient impact.“comb-tooth trim” The drive unit surround and fixing screws are cleverly concealed behind this unique trim design giving a highly technical look to the front face of the speaker.

"Ring Dome" Treble Unit

New ‘ring dome’ treble unit offers high levels of musical detail with low distortion - the usual dome cavitation effects are completely avoided Dual ring radiator – Mission’s exclusive ‘ring dome’ utilises a woven, textile material formed in a double ring arrangement. The combination of textile dome and multi-ring surround applied optimum stiffness to the maximum radiating area.Twin rear cavity non-reflecting design – back pressure from the diaphragm is vented to a twin rear cavity reducing resonance and maintaining a wide operating bandwidth.

The Design Concept

QX series was designed to marry advanced engineering with a highly attractive and unique design that lets the speakers fit perfectly into the modern home. The front panel appearance hints at the advanced technology inside the speakers whilst presenting an attractive face to the listener.
