drivers and a compact size allows easy<br />
placement close to all types of video, audio<br />
and computer devices, while the sonically<br />

Nearfi eld Studio Monitors<br />
• The LF drivers of PM-2 MkII: 8”<br />
(200mm), PM-1 MkII: 6.5”(160mm),<br />
PM0.5 MkII 5” (130mm), PM0.4<br />
4”(100mm) have been developed<br />
to obtain extremely pure music<br />
reproduction by employing the latest<br />
technology in cone material.<br />
• The cone uses a mixture of cut<br />
and milled fi bres that are made<br />
from aromatic polyamide. It is<br />
then impregnated with resins to<br />
simultaneously achieve high rigidity<br />
and optimum damping.<br />
• The cone also has an olefi n fi lm<br />
thermally adhered to its surface to<br />
PM0.4 Now Also Available In White<br />
control frequency response and to<br />
establish long term reliability.<br />
• The center dust cap is made of non-wood cellulose material and is also<br />
impregnated with resin.<br />
• The voice coil is made of super high purity copper wire to achieve extremely<br />
low distortion.<br />
• The 25mm or 20mm soft dome tweeter employs Fostex’s UFLC technology (Poly<br />
Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) to achieve light weight and high stability per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
• The amplifi ers are precisely calibrated to match the per<strong>for</strong>mance capability of<br />
the drivers.<br />
department. The sound is full of clarity and<br />
audio accuracy, the stereo imaging is sharp<br />
and consistent and the level of sonic detail<br />
is incredible from a monitor so small.<br />
Nearfi eld Studio Monitors<br />
• 5” (130mm) or 6.5” (160mm) with HR (Hyper Radial) diaphragm <strong>for</strong> LF unit which<br />
utilises the latest diaphragm ‘Radial Papermaking Technology’ <strong>for</strong> natural and smooth<br />
sound reproduction.<br />
• UDR (Up/Down Roll) Tangential driver edge eliminates the unwanted resonance.<br />
• Wide-range 20mm hard dome tweeter with pure magnesium diaphragm to eliminate<br />
sharp-edge sound characteristics.<br />
• Highly rigid cast aluminum frames <strong>for</strong> both LF and HF units which minimises unwanted<br />
vibrations and resonances.<br />
• Magnetically shielded drivers allow <strong>for</strong> safe placement close to a video monitor.<br />
• Time-aligned front baffl e enclosure design with the HF driver recessed <strong>for</strong> a precise<br />
and pure sound.<br />
• Bi-amplifi er. Dedicated 60W (LF) + 40W (HF) bi-amplifi er eliminates electric interference<br />
between the drivers<br />
• Overall output level control & dedicated tweeter level control, LO EQ control.<br />
The Truth<br />
Now the choice can be made. Monitors<br />
which may make you sound good, or<br />
monitors which tell you how good you sound.<br />
Hooking up a pair of Fostex’s NX-Series<br />
or PM-Series Montors <strong>for</strong> the fi rst time<br />
is somewhat of a revelation. You may be<br />
surprised at what you hear. But at least it<br />
will be a true representation, free from any<br />
sonic colouration and distortion. Which is<br />
where Fostex comes in.<br />
