Fostex PM Series MkII - Powered Nearfield Studio Monitors

Exceptional audio performance matched to jaw-dropping good looks.

Fostex strive to design and build studio monitoring systems which enable you to experience your unique sound in all its dimensions. And through tireless research and development, endless measurements and real-world listening tests, Fostex’s engineers have achieved this in the form of the beautiful second generation PM-Series.

Capitalizing on Fostex’s supreme knowledge of acoustics and speaker engineering, and now offering a brighter, tighter sound, these studio monitors are designed inside out to provide the best monitoring experience, with minimal resonance, sparkling highs and rich, deep lows.

And, with new ‘high-gloss’ front baffles, they look as stunning as they sound.

PM Series Features:

• The LF drivers (PM-2 MkII: 200mm, PM-1 MkII: 160mm, PM0.5 MkII 130mm) have been developed to obtain extremely pure music reproduction by employing the latest technology in cone material.
• The cone uses a mixture of cut and milled fibers that are made from aromatic polyamide. It is then impregnated with resins to simultaneously achieve high rigidity and optimum damping.
• The cone also has an olefin film thermally adhered to its surface to control frequency response and to establish long term reliability.
• The center dust cap is made of non-wood cellulose material and is also impregnated with resin.
• The voice coil is made of super high purity copper wire to achieve extremely low distortion.
• The20mm soft dome tweeter employs Fostex’s UFLC technology (Poly Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) to achieve light weight and high stability performance.
• The amplifiers are precisely calibrated to match the performance capability of the drivers.

PM-2 MkII

Created for larger rooms, the PM-2 has the power and sophistication and, most importantly the versatility to handle the most demanding recording applications. Equipped with a 200mm low frequency unit and remaining natural and transparent right across the audio spectrum, even at high sound pressure levels, the PM-2 is great for today’s bass heavy music. Features 240 watts of bi-amped power, UFLC 25mm soft dome HF unit, 200mm LF woofer, separate HF gain control, overall volume control and a 0dB / -3dB / +3dB switch for the LF unit.

PM-1 MkII

Perfectly proportioned and offering the type of clear-transparent sound that singles out a great speaker, the PM-1 is capable of producing extremely high SPLs accurately across the full audio spectrum. With 120 watts of bi-amped power and a bass response that’s full and dynamic and a crisp high-end that sparkles with vitality, the PM-1 delivers the type of sonic quality that’s usually the domain of monitors costing thousands. Features a UFLC 25mm soft dome HF unit, 160mm LF woofer and input gain control.

PM0.5 MkII

The ideal choice for smaller studios requiring nearfield monitoring, the perfectly formed PM0.5 offers 70 watts of bi-amped power and produces great full range performance with exceptional neutrality even at high Sound pressure levels. The compact dimensions also enable accurate placement in confined or awkward spaces, with the dispersion from the two way ported enclosure design tailored such that it will deliver a superb sound almost regardless of room acoustics. Features a UFLC 20mm soft dome HF unit and 130mm LF woofer and input gain control.

PM0.4

The ultra-compact PM0.4 now completes the lineup of the reputed PM-series ranging from 4” to 8” woofer size. PM0.4 is naturally recommended for desk-top use but its superb audio performance in compact physical size expands its applications to professional console top studio monitoring, audio installation as well portable audio monitoring.

• Exclusively designed 4” Woofer and UFLC 0.65” Soft Dome Tweeter
• High efficient bi-amp drive with 18W each for LF and HF
• Independent amplifier in both L and R units.
• Beautiful glossy black front baffle
• Magnetically shielded for proximate setting to video monitor

PM0.5-Sub MkII

Designed specifically for use with the PM0.5, the 110 watt, 200mm driver PM0.5-Sub produces precise, low frequency reproduction and an excellent deep bass output. Easy to set-up (just a single gain control and phase reverse switch), the combination of a pair of PM0.5’s and PM0.5-Sub provides superb sonic quality at an affordable price. The addition of the 110 watt powered PM0.5-Sub MkII to a pair of PM0.5 MkII speakers greatly expands the frequency range down to as low as 25Hz without distortion. Ideal for applications where clear, precise, ‘full-spectrum’ audio and flexible monitoring are required. - A combination of power and accuracy that will satisfy even the most discerning user.
