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, Fostex’s engineers have achieved this in the form of the beautiful second generation PM-Series.

Capitalizing on Fostex’s 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 lineup of the reputed PM-series ranging from 4” to 8” woofer size. PM0.4 is naturally recommended for desk-top use but its superb audio performance in compact physical size expands its applications to professional console top studio monitoring, audio installation as well portable audio monitoring.

Features

  • The LF drivers (PM-2 MkII: 200mm, PM-1 MkII: 160mm, PM0.5 MkII 130mm) have been developed to obtain extremely pure music reproduction by employing the latest technology in cone material.
  • The cone uses a mixture of cut and milled fibers 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 to establish long term reliability.
  • The center dust cap is made of non-wood cellulose material and is also impregnated with resin.
  • The voice coil is made of super high purity copper wire to achieve extremely low distortion.
  • The20mm soft dome tweeter employs Fostex’s UFLC technology (Poly Urethane Film Laminated Cloth) to achieve light weight and high stability performance.
  • The amplifiers are precisely calibrated to match the performance capability of the drivers.
  • Exclusively designed 4” Woofer and UFLC 0.65” Soft Dome Tweeter
  • High efficient bi-amp drive with 18W each for LF and HF
  • Independent amplifier in both L and R units.
  • Beautiful glossy black front baffle
  • Magnetically shielded for proximate setting to video monitor

Great Quality

I writing this review on the basis of looking for cheap monitors that give a realistic and true sound.

As a music student doing a course in music technology I required monitors that would give me accurate sound so that I could complete assignments at home away from my college's studios. I've had them for a good few months now.

Fostex's PM.04 are very affordable and the quality is some thing that I really did not expect from such cheap and small monitors. When viewing the sound from the centre of these two speakers in the 'sweet spot' the output is clean and crisp and truly a joy to listen to. The bass is really defined and the two holes above the bass cone really pump out some air when turned up. The volume can reach good levels and I've never needed to turn these any where near full as they would be way loud. The high end could be a little better as it lacks some clarity but it still sounds decent. Hi hats sound great and so do other hi frequency noises but cymbal crashes don't seem to sound as clear.

I compare my mix-downs on these to that of the monitors in the studios at college which some use Tannoy monitors and another uses a Blue Sky 2.1 system. I usually require little tweaking to get my mixes sounding exactly how I imagined. These monitors however great for the price are never going to sound as good as systems that cost well over £1000 of course!

I considered the Edirol M-15's but after listening to a friends pair I was unsure about them. Having listened to both pairs in a store I was certain that the quality of sound coming from the Fostex's is superior to the Edirol's. I see that the Edirol's are a lot more popular than the Fostex's but I can't see why because they are both around £100. Its possibly just the brand name coming from Roland but I highly recommend that people look past the name and get these monitors.

Lastly these are very durable and aren't going to get damaged easily from knocks and bumps. They also look great and have a really nice finish to them. Although this can attract finger marks but these are easily wiped away.

Overall a great product for its price. I would recommend them. If they where damaged or broken I would definitely replace them if I was on the same budget. Its really enjoyable sitting right between them and listening to my work!
