Manufacturer's Description for Fostex PM1 Powered Monitor

Breaking a new price point barrier, the PM-1 delivers astonishing sound at an even more astonishing price. Consisting of a 6.5 in. LF driver and a 1 in. soft dome tweeter, the PM-1 offers an impressive 50Hz to 20kHz frequency response and a bi-amped output power of 75w+45w @ 8 ohms.

An Unbeatable Price/Performance Value
Listening correctly doesn't need to be expensive. To understand how truly important accurate and clear sound is, you only have to go as far as the new Fostex PM-1 Powered Monitors. With 120 watts of bi-amped power, a bass response that 's full and dynamic, and a high end that sizzles, you'll wonder why you can pay so little for so much. You can now have accurate and clear sound that is readily affordable as well.

Low Frequency Driver
The 6.5 in. LF driver has been developed to output extremely pure music reproduction by employing the latest technology in cone material.

High Frequency Driver
The 1 in. soft dome tweeter employs Fostex's UFLC technology (poly urethane film laminated cloth) to achieve lightweight and high stability performance.

Tighter Response
The LF 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.

Long Term Reliability
The cone has an olefin film thermally adhered to its surface to control frequency response and to establish long-term reliability.

Very Low Distortion
The voice coil is made of super high purity copper wire to achieve very low distortion. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fostex products.

"Near-Field Best Buy!!!"

Sound: They really sound great, especially considering the price. You won't find a better speaker for tracking if you paid three or four times as much. I've done numerous mixes with them and we're now ready to toss the ns-10's on ebay. My ears are used to hearing $40,000 genelecs at Sony Sydney and I'm not turned off by my PM1's when I get home so...! Some have said that they sound like Genelecs. I'm not sure that they sound like them but they certainly compare well with the Genelec 1029A except the fostex had much better bottom end. Just make sure nothing is place between them like a crt monitor etc, it wrecks the bass field. The bottom end is tight and well defined. You can hear every little thing happening down there but I'd like just a tad more. They sound the same soft or loud - you gotta know that's good! The higher mids tend to jump out a bit but you get used to it. Everything else is just right. The pm1's are a good sounding, non-fatiguing speaker if placed correctly in a room. Feature: If you place them correctly you won't need any features 'cause you don't get any. I think you don't need any though with them. Do it the old fashioned way and listen to your room - don't be so lazy! lol Quality: Really well made. Hard to scratch the casing and front panel. There's zero protection for the speakers so be careful in transport (very scary indeed). Bottom line - they're not crap! As well made as monitors four times the price I'd say. Value: The pm1's are worth the price!!! They're just worth having as a near-field monitor. Don't bother getting anything else unless you're willing to pay the bigger bucks. Manufacturer Support: Can't say. However, when ordered the distributer delivered pronto. No messing around. Not sure if that has anything to do with Fostex. The Wow Factor: They look kinda average which I'd say is good. Most speakers look pretty good theses days. The fact that they don't have 'bells and whistles' all over them makes me want them. They're more of a practical addition to a studio. Overall: I'll never get rid of these. I might upgrade but they'll come in handy for something no matter what I buy in the future. Even just listening to music from a computer is enjoyable so I'll never retire them. However, I've yet to hear the PM2's.

Style of Music: Everything (unfortunately)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Better mixes"

Sound: For what its worth, I had been mixing on the Behringers but was never happy with the sound outside the studio. I was over compensating with EQ and my effects were...It just didnt sound the same as in the studio. My mixes on the PM-1s translate much better to real life listening environments.Plain and simple Feature: A simple great sounding monitor Quality: I wouldnt push any monitor to its limit. These seem to be built well.I have had these things screaming. Value: Well worth it. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed The Wow Factor: They are respectable looking monitors. Does that really matter? Overall: If my mixes keep coming out this good, I dont see myself looking for any others for quite a while. Unless I hit the loto.
