Mission QX-Center MKII – Walnut – Center Speaker

About the Mission QX-Center MKII – Walnut – Center Speaker:

QX-C MKII

The QX-C MKII is a 2-way centre speaker with two 5″ (135 mm) bass drivers and a ring dome treble unit.

As with all Mission loudspeaker concepts, the key to improvement is the process of listening, listening, and more listening. With the added benefit of modern speaker design tools like computer-aided optimization technology, crossover modeling, and laser interferometry, Mission engineers also spent considerable time refining the crossovers, components, materials, and construction.

Like the now established and equally class-leading Mission LX MKII series, the QX MKII series takes an already phenomenal loudspeaker solution but refines and optimizes it, bringing out even more vibrancy, finesse and class, through a process of evolution, not revolution.

Mission QX-Center MKII Drivers – Walnut – Center Speaker

An improved acrylic fibre cone material has been chosen for the QX MKII drivers. Acrylic fibre is naturally hard-wearing, yet offers a delicate appearance, unlike the hard driver materials seen in typical speakers in this price range. Implemented in the Mission DiaDrive system, the acrylic fibre allows for natural midrange frequencies and exceptional clarity. The seamless curvilinear design features a conical support with an increased contact area with the voice coil. This highly efficient and uncompromising system allows the QX MKII series to excel in timing, with excellent transient impact.

New look aluminum top plate

Aesthetically, the QX MKII series brings new Lux Black and Lux ​​White matte finishes to the range, with the classic Walnut Pearl option. The new color-matched aluminum top plate is more than just a visual icing on the cake; the added stiffness and support provided by this sturdy yet stylish addition further enhances the performance of the precision-engineered cabinets of this striking speaker series.

Ring of Fire

To overcome the inherent physics of conventional domes, the center of the "ring dome" is fixed with a clearly visible "phase plug." This design allows for extended RF reproduction by preventing cancellation of high-frequency waves near the center of the diaphragm along the center axis. The resonance experienced by traditional domes means that RF performance inevitably becomes distorted as it approaches high energy. Controlling this phenomenon inevitably reduces the RF capabilities of traditional domes, while the "ring dome" is virtually free of this complication. The result is better controlled and much more consistent behavior from 10 kHz to 20 kHz, and well beyond! Transient performance is dramatically improved, as is musical detail, particularly of the overtones and harmonics of instruments.

Reverse Drive Geometry on the Mission QX-Center MKII – Walnut – Center Loudspeaker

While retaining the core QX styling, the QX MKII is configured in the classic Mission IDG (Inverted Driver Geometry) format. By placing the treble unit below the bass/midrange driver, the path length is equalized, allowing the sound waves to converge at the listener's head. This principle improves time alignment.

QX MKII also takes the groundbreaking serrated driver surrounds to a new level. More than just a technical aesthetic or a beautiful design touch, the surrounds have been enhanced through detailed airflow analysis and precise measurements. The new QX MKII surrounds help diffuse reflections and reduce airflow interference to enhance the silky-smooth performance of the drivers and ports.
