REVIEW
The Fostex PM0.5 nearfield studio monitors are the ideal choice for smaller studios requiring nearfield monitoring.
The perfectly formed PM0.5 monitors deliver 70W of bi-amped power and produce great full range performance with exceptional neutrality even at high sound pressure levels. They have compact dimensions, enabling accurate placement in confined or awkward spaces, with the dispersion from the two way ported enclosure design tailored such that they will deliver a superb sound almost regardless of room acoustics.
The Fostex PM0.5 MK2 monitors feature a UFLC 20mm soft dome HF unit and 130mm LF woofer and input gain control. The cone design uses a mixture of cut and milled fibres that are made from aromatic polyamide. It is then impregnated with resins to simultaneously achieve high rigidity and optimum damping. The cone also has an olefin film thermally adhered to its surface to control frequency response and establish long term reliability. The center dust cap is made of non-wood cellulose material and also impregnated with resin and the voice coil is made of super high purity copper wire to achieve extremely low distortion.
The 20mm soft dome tweeter employs Fostex UFLC technology (poly urethane film laminated cloth) to achieve light weight and high stability performance. Each Fostex PM0.5 monitor features internal bi-amplification, each amplifier is precisely calibrated to match the performance capability of the drivers. By adding an optional PM0.5-sub MKII to a pair of PM0.5 MKII nearfield monitors, the frequency range is expanded down as low as 25Hz whilst maintaining excellent clarity and purity of sound.
