SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: For their size and price they are excellent. Nuetral and well balanced throughout the frequency range. They can handle the low end much better than one would think, looking at them. Best placed away from rear walls. Feature: Hardly any. Which is strangely reassuring! Volume, balanced xlr & trs jacks. Quality: For the price they are very solid and sound refined. Value: Serious studio monitoring can be undertaken with these. However, mixes would have to be referenced on larger systems for accurate bass and for a more broad sense of space between sounds. Manufacturer Support: I have no idea yet! The Wow Factor: sounds better than it looks. If you shop with your ears you will want it! Overall: For monitors of this size only GENELECS sounded better. In fact for the next size up the FOSTEX pm1's sounded very similar and the rest of the competition at this price point, lacked the refinement and long term use of the pm05's

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: Nice full neutral sound -- great for mixing. Feature: Just a straightforward monitor. Quality: VERY solid. Value: I compared these to M-Audio BX5's and the Fostex won hands down. The M-Audio sounded tinny and harsh. Manufacturer Support: I like Fostex support, but haven't used it for problems, just questios from time to time. Overall: These monitors seem very accurate, so for the price, they're awfully hard to beat. Fostex started as a speaker driver company, so their experience shows.
