Description
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.

Exceptional audio performance matched to jaw-dropping good looks.

Fostex PM1MKII Powered Nearfield Monitor Reviews
8 out of 10
"Should cost twice as much!"
Feature:
No real features. You have to tune your room!!! Volume and on/off switch. That's about it. They're worth it when placed correctly.
Quality:
Mine have been punished for about 3 years now and sound great. One of the speakers has developed a quiet rattle (in the box construction, not driver) around the 200hz range. Rarely heard though, usually when tracking not mixing.
Value:
Every studio should have these instead of NS10. They're accurate and sound sweeter.
Desirability:
The new ones look great in piano black
Sound:
Great product, especially for the price. It needs to sit correctly in a well thought out room to hear the bottom end properly. Fantastic for tracking and not too bad for mixing. You can hear things that just can't be hearrd on a normal speaker system. It gets a 9 because of the price and the quality of the sound involved.
Ease of Use:
Pretty simple.
Support:
Haven't used them. Will downgrade if they give a reason to in future.
Overall:
Simply put, they aren't a top of the line studio monitor with the most accurate of mixes. However, who has that type of money. Get 'em and you'll find a way of placing them in the room and enjoying them.

Fostex PM1MKII Monitor Customer Review
Feature:
N/A
Quality:
Sturdy deep enclusure, nice piano black finish.
Value:
Probably a little better for the price than most monitors.
Desirability:
Nice looking enclosure. Looks good setting in a studio.
Sound:
Very smooth sound. Not too bottom heavy or sizzly on the high end. These monitors require a fairly long break-in period. When first set up, the sound was almost all mid-range, to the point of wanting to exchange them for another brand. After a few days, the sound got considerably better. After a few months, the change was dramatic. Also, upgrading to high quality inter-connect cables made a noticeable sound improvement.
Ease of Use:
Just connect a play.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
Will use it as long as it keeps performing.
