description Fostex PM0.5n Overview
Fostex PM0.5n is a compact active near-field studio monitor from Fostex, a Japanese audio manufacturer. It is a two-way powered speaker intended to be placed close to the listener in a desktop, home-studio, editing, or other small-room setup, so it does not need a separate power amplifier. The model is for monitoring and general audio playback where a smaller speaker is more practical than a full-size studio monitor, although its sound depends on placement, room acoustics, and the rest of the system.
