PM Series MKII

PM-2 MKII
Created for larger rooms and studio, the PM-2 MKII has the power and sophistication and, most importantly the versatility to handle the most demanding recording applications. Equipped with a 200mm low frequency unit and remaining natural and transparent right across the audio spectrum, even at high sound pressure levels, the PM-2 MKII is great for todays bass heavy music. Features 240 watts of bi-amped power, UFLC 25mm soft dome HF unit, 200mm LF woofer, separate HF gain control, overall volume control and a 0dB / -3dB / +3dB switch for the LF unit.

PM0.5-Sub MKII

Designed ideally for use with the PM0.5 MKII, the 110 watt, 200mm driver PM0.5-Sub MKII produces precise, low frequency reproduction and an excellent deep bass output. Easy to set-up (just a single gain control and phase reverse switch), the combination of a pair of PM0.5 MKIIs and PM0.5-Sub MKII provides superb sonic quality at an affordable price.
Exceptional audio performance matched to jaw-dropping good looks.
Fostex strive to design and build studio monitoring systems which enable you to experience your unique sound in all its dimensions. And through tireless research and development, endless measurements and real-world listening tests, Fostexs engineers have achieved this in the form of the beautiful second generation PM-Series. Capitalizing on Fostexs supreme knowledge of acoustics and speaker engineering, and now offering a brighter, tighter sound, these studio monitors are designed inside out to provide the best monitoring experience, with minimal resonance, sparkling highs and rich, deep lows. And, with new high-gloss front baffles, they look as stunning as they sound.
The ultra-compact PM0.4 now completes the PM-Series lineup. Diminutive in size, but with a sound that has to be heard to be believed, the PM0.4 is naturally recommended for desk-top use but its superb audio performance in a compact physical size expands its applications to professional console top studio monitoring, audio installation and portable audio monitoring. Features 36 watts of bi-amped power, UFLC 16mm soft dome HF unit, 100mm LF woofer and overall volume control. Also available in a gloss White finish.

PM-1 MKII

Perfectly proportioned and offering the type of cleartransparent sound that singles out a great speaker, the PM-1 MKII is capable of producing extremely high SPLs accurately across the full audio spectrum. With 120 watts of bi-amped power and a bass response thats full and dynamic and a crisp high-end that sparkles with vitality, the PM-1 MKII delivers the type of sonic quality thats usually the domain of monitors costing thousands. Features a UFLC 25mm soft dome HF unit, 160mm LF woofer and input gain control.

monitoring, the perfectly formed PM0.5 MKII offers 70 watts of bi-amped power and produces great full range performance with exceptional neutrality even at high Sound pressure levels. The compact dimensions also enable accurate placement in confined or awkward spaces, with the dispersion from the two way ported enclosure design tailored such that it will deliver a superb sound almost regardless of room acoustics. Features a UFLC 20mm soft dome HF unit and 130mm LF woofer and input gain control.

PM-Series monitors (not PM0.5-Sub MKII) feature internal bi-amplification employing two state-of-the-art amplifiers which are precisely calibrated to match the performance of the drive units and utilize high quality discrete bipolar output devices: PM0.4 - 18w, LF 18w PM0.5 MKII - 35w, LF 35w PM-1 MKII - 45w, LF 75w PM-2 MKII - 120w, LF 120w High-capacity power supply units are used for excellent transient response. PM0.4 offers TRS and Line inputs, PM0.5 MKII and PM-1 MKII feature an XLR/6mm jack input with gain control while the PM-2 MKII benefits from individual HF gain control, overall volume control and a 0dB / -3dB / +3dB switch for the LF unit.

LF Unit

Uses a mixture of cut and milled fibres made from aromatic polyamide impregnated with resins to simultaneously achieve high rigidity and optimum damping. An olefin film is thermally adhered to its surface to control frequency response and ensure reliability. Distortion is minimized by the use of an ultra-pure copper voice coil.
