"Great speaker for home studio."
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
If they keep on working then maybe forever.
Sound
Very revealing speaker. Flat as you want them to be. They don't fatigue your ears at reasonable levels. That said, these things can crank out distortion free sound at higher than safe levels. I bought these for my home studio and now prefer them to the $1000 plus ones we use at work. Hooked them up to a M-audio Fast Track Pro.
Features
Has all the connections you need.
Ease of Use
It's a monitor.
Quality
Built like a tank - really.
Value
Well worth the $$$.
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to use yet.
The Wow Factor
Cool blue lights and metal flake cabinets look good on my desk.

"Precision Monitors, fair and square."
These are powerfull, fair sounded monitors.
I don't think I will need to replace them.
Maybe someday if my Project studio grows into a studio.
Sound
You would be amazed what comes out of these little boxes.
Precision Monitors, fair and square.
Features
It comes with everything you need.
You will have to buy your own quality cables though.
Ease of Use
Just make sure you read the manual.
Know what you're doing before you operate the PM5 Precision monitors.
Quality
Build like a tank, small, heavy, sexy, solid.
Value
Payed 230 euro,- for each monitor. It is fair and square the best bang for the bug, no matter what others say.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to use Support service, so I think it's worth a 10. ;)
The Wow Factor
Very sexy.
Musical Background:
5 years of crap, time to wake up and make some real music.
Musical Style:
Nine Inch Nails... I don't think it will fit any of these styles. The most unique artist I've ever heard.

"Fried after 8 months of use!"
We purchased four of theses units from Musicains Friends and after 8 months of use, three of the four stopped working! Customer service does not exist and there are no warranty avenues to seek out. Very sturdy speaker with what looks like quality components but looks are deceiving. Buyer beware....... Eminent failure.

"Crystal sound and decent bass in a tiny space"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I've had and used tons of EMU gear and they always makes great stuff at good prices. Just wish they'd make all their new computer stuff for the Mac too. Come on EMU stop being so "Creative".
Sound
The way i'd decribe it is Clear, Open and Dry. I heard these at a friends home studio so he sold me.
Features
Small and compact and has pretty much every connection and bell and whistle. I'm running balanced, out of my MOTU and leave all my settings at defualt and run level at 12 o'clock(it's plenty loud). For something so small it has great bass and I hear from the magazines that a matching subwoofer is coming.
Quality
It's built like a tank. Heavy and dense feeling. Very industrial looking and I like the blue light.
Value
There are tons of cheaper ones nowdays like the Egosys I used to have but these are built way better, and have that dry sound that I wanted. It's definitely worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
No problems so can't say. They had great support before when I called them about their old synth stuff.
