Subwoofers — Mission QX-12SUB MKII

The QX-12SUB MKII is a powered subwoofer from Mission's QX range, designed as a bass companion to the brand's QX-series floorstanders and bookshelf speakers. It gives the QX family its own subwoofer within Mission's lineup.

Key specs that matter

Its quoted operating range is 35 Hz to 120 Hz, and the onboard amplifier delivers 450 W. The cabinet measures 47.8 x 40.0 x 46.5 cm and weighs 23 kg.

Engineering and use context

The subwoofer has its own amplifier, so it only needs a signal feed and a mains connection. With a 23 kg cabinet close to half a metre on each side, it is a substantial unit for its class.

Pairing

The natural partners are Mission's QX-series main speakers, but the sub is not restricted to a Mission-only system and can be wired to any stereo amp or home cinema receiver equipped with a sub output.

Alternatives

The ZX-12 Sub is another powered subwoofer in Mission's range, from the ZX series.
