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

Overall:
          9 out of 10
Sound:
          9 out of 10
Submitted: 9/11/2008

 

 
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.
