Bookshelf Speakers — Mission ZX-2

The ZX-2 is a bookshelf loudspeaker from Mission, sitting above the QX-1 with notably high sensitivity into a comparatively benign impedance. The ZX-2 brings Mission's considered engineering to a compact stand-mount format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 45Hz to 24,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 89dB into the standard 8 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 25-150W. At 42.0 x 24.0 x 36.2cm and 9.4kg, the ZX-2 represents a somewhat more substantial commitment than the QX-1 within Mission's considered British engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, historically informed character Mission's broader British catalogue is celebrated for, with the notably high 89dB sensitivity providing genuine dynamic ease.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and notably high 89dB sensitivity make the ZX-2 compatible with a wide range of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Mission's own QX-1 offers a more compact, staggeringly efficient alternative within the same broader bookshelf catalogue.
