Mission ZX-2 Bookshelf Loudspeaker
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Mission ZX-2 is the larger of two bookshelf loudspeakers in Mission's mid-level ZX series designed for both home theatre and stereo applications. Its tweeter and the mid-bass drivers form a D'Appolito array.
Being the company's flagship, the ZX series features a smoothly curved, lacquered cabinet in either gloss black or gloss white.
Every ZX series speaker has a Ring Dome treble unit: unlike traditional dome tweeters, the center of the textile dome is fixed, and the voice coil is attached partway down the dome. Thus, the dome forms two rings with the voice coil in the center, enabling it to drive the dome more accurately and efficiently.
The midrange / bass drivers feature Mission's DiaDrive units: the smoothly dished diaphragm is coupled to an inverted surround, again connected partway down the cone, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the driver.
Other models in the ZX series include three floorstanders, ZX-5, ZX-4, and ZX-3, a smaller bookshelf speaker, ZX-1, two center channel speakers, ZX-C1 and ZX-C2, a wall-mount / surround speaker, ZX-S, and a subwoofer ZX-12 Sub.

Reviewer score 58%Mission has been on a good run in recent years, and as part of the IAG group – alongside the likes of Wharfedale, Quad and Audiolab – it certainly has the resources to excel. It wasn't so long ago that only exotic high-end speakers featured a ring dome tweeter design such as that used here. The striking pair of 13cm mid/bass drivers looks equally impressive.
