Welcome to Mission!

Mission is a brand that purveys lifestyle audio that fuses Hi-Fi heritage with contemporary design.
Music is the master, technology is the slave. Always.

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, offering 50w from each cabinet (100w per system).
Following the LX MKII series design and performance, the LX CONNECT Speakers 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.

General Information

Please read these instructions carefully before installing your loudspeakers. A few minutes studying this manual will ensure a superb performance from your loudspeaker for many years. Please attention to all cautions printed on the pages marked with this symbol.

How It Works
Unlike other wireless and active speakers where controls and inputs are often placed awkwardly on the back panel, Mission engineers have developed a unique hub, which works as the central console for your music. The LX CONNECT Hub features optical, coaxial, PC USB, AV audio and RCA inputs on the rear panel with an additional Bluetooth aptX connection for wireless integration of laptops, smartphones and tablet devices. It is controlled gracefully via the touch-sensitive display, or for even more convenience you can use the included remote control. Once connected to your source, the hub works independently from the speakers using the 5.8GHz wireless frequency band. Place it on your TV stand, desktop, or wherever you want, without the worry of speaker placement and trailing wires in between the units. The only wires needed for the speakers are the supplied power cables.
LX CONNECT Hub will also work as a stand-alone DAC with a built-in headphone output and pre-output. You can connect it to your amplifier or existing system, for use as a Hi-Fi grade DAC.

The LX CONNECT Speakers and Hub work wirelessly, completely independently of each other with no interconnects.

Change source/volume and menu parameters with the included remote.

The units communicate with each other on the 5.8GHz frequency band for high quality, lossless playback.

Connect any Bluetooth device and enjoy wireless playback with the aptX codec for CD-like sound quality.

Installing & Operating the LX CONNECT Speakers

  • Plug each LX CONNECT Speaker in to the mains power supply and turn on the power switch to enter start-up mode.

  • Upon initial power-on, the LED indicator will slowly flash green. This means the speakers are currently not connected to any LX CONNECT Hub device – you will need to pair the speakers with hub (follow the LX CONNECT Hub installation section).

  • After pairing, the LED light will remain illuminated green. After pairing for the first time, you will not need to do this again when turning the system on or off.

  • Use the LEFT / MONO / RIGHT switch to assign each speaker’s output channel. LEFT / RIGHT options are designed for a conventional stereo setup. Alternatively, if you are placing the speakers around the room or living area in an unconventional way, you can set the speakers both to mono if you wish.

  • The -6dB / 0 / 6dB switch attenuates the bass levels of the speakers. You can use this to adjust the sound to your personal preference and may find the bass will need reducing when placed near to a wall.
    Please note:

    • When the speakers are free standing on suitable stands, use the 0dB or +6dB bass setting
    • When the speakers are placed close to a rear wall, use the 0dB setting
    • When the speakers are shelf mounted, use the -6dB or 0dB setting
  • The UPDATE port is only used for updating the internal software or service purposes. This is a non-user serviceable connection. Please refer to the Mission website or your Mission dealer concerning updates or service.

  • The PAIR button is used to connects the speakers and hub as a system. If you long press the button until the LED indicator flashes then the software version will be displayed on the hub screen.
