The LX CONNECT HUB intelligently transmits left and right audio signals to the appropriate speaker via uncompressed 5.8 GHz 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 "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 high-performing loudspeaker system.The LX CONNECT HUB acts as the central console for all of your music sources, including analog, optical, and digital coaxial inputs. The LX CONNECT HUB is a high-specification, standalone audio hub in its 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 many dedicated headphone amp / DAC combinations. 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 OLED display or, for even more convenience, you can use the included remote.-----front-panel touchscreen controlfrequency response: 20-20,000 Hz (+/-0.3dB)total harmonic distortion (THD): < 0.005% (analog input); < 0.001% (digital inputs)built-in dedicated headphone amplifier with full-sized front-panel 1/4" jackESS Sabre 9018 DAC8-7/8"W x 2-3/16"H x 9-1/8"Dweight: 3.86 lbs.Analog stereo RCA inputdigital inputs: 1 Toslink optical, 1 coaxialsupports signals up to 24-bit/192kHzARC HDMI input for connecting a compatible TVUSB Type B input for connecting a Mac® or Windows® computerhub supports PCM files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD files up to DSD256 (11.2 MHz) through headphonesresolution is limited to 32-bit/192kHz when playing the LX speakerspreamplifier output for connecting external power amplifiers, subwoofers, or signal processorsUSB Type-A input for updates only

Mission Electronics, a British hi-fi icon, was founded in 1977 by Farad Azima in the UK, rapidly emerging as a pioneer in acoustic engineering. Azima, a former audio importer and distributor, infused the brand with innovative drive, launching the revolutionary Mission 770 loudspeaker in 1978—the world's first with a commercial polypropylene bass unit. This debut set benchmarks for clarity and bass response, propelling Mission to prominence amid the golden era of British hi-fi.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across sectors, from seminal 1970s and 1980s models like the 770 to high-end masterpieces such as the 2001 Pilastro, Elegante, and SX series. Under Peter Comeau's acoustic leadership since 1999, Mission has expanded into hi-fi electronics, including amplifiers and home cinema systems, while maintaining an engineering-first ethos. Now part of the International Audio Group since 2005, with production in Shenzhen, it leverages advanced manufacturing for components like cables and turntable ancillaries, though speakers remain its core strength.
Mission holds mid-to-high-end status, revered by discerning buyers for award-winning performance—What Hi-Fi? Best Loudspeaker (2000, 2001), EISA Speaker of the Year (2001, 2003)—and timeless appeal. A management buyout refined its retail focus, positioning it as a reliable benchmark against pricier rivals, blending heritage innovation with accessible excellence for serious audiophiles.
