Fostex PM05MkII - in the spotlight
You're possibly aware that we have a propensity to over-excite ourselves here at Factory Sound. If you have been following our blogs, emails or web-specials over the past couple of years, the admiration we have for Fostex PM series of active, nearfield studio monitors will have been obvious. Couple that with our boyish curiosity about lipstick, and it's a bit of a recipe for fun in our world.
Back to the Fostex PM-series monitors - we think they're simply the best bang for buck around, and when we get asked (frequently) the best way to improve studio monitoring on a budget, these come up trumps every single time. Of the range, PM05MkII is far-and-away the most popular. And so for that very reason, it gets the 'spotlight' this week.
And the lippy? You'll see in the promo clip below.

What about this for a serious deal - our old favourite studio headphones Fostex T20RP-MkII, just in time for the holiday season. Forget that they have a Recommended Retail Price of $229 in Australia, we've got a strong dollar and all the news outlets are suggesting the time to purchase overseas is now.
Well forget that, as we've always promised at Factory Sound, we're sticking our prices in a place they love: below the cost that 'normal' shops are paying. Don't ask how, just let it be known that Factory Sound is NO 'normal' shop, that we have always been committed to fair pricing for all pro audio, all the time. Whether you're a professional, student, enthusiatst, or ('tis the season, after all) buying a gift for a loved on, we buy in BULK and make sure the savings get passed straight to you.
So after all that, how much for a pair of Fostex T20RP-MkII? Half price? No, let's break below the $100 barrier. In fact, we've got so many in stock that let's call it $92. No mucking around, $92. There, we've said it.
We don't expect them to last very long at this price, so if you're keen...you'd better get busier than Warney or you'll miss the cheese.
Read full postFostex Powered Studio Monitors: Now with lower pricing!
In some kind of crazy win-win situation, we've taken full advantage of some juicily low pricing on the range of Fostex powered studio monitors. In particular, the PM05Mk2 nearfield monitor has taken our fancy. Actually, it's always taken our fancy with a great performance from a little speaker, but now there's even more reason to get on board.
Remember, this new lower price is for a pair. So this really is now just about the best value powered nearfield studio monitor around town. Our stack is sure to disappear quicker than a six-pack at a long weekend barbecue.
Check out the new lower pricing here, and keep reading if you want the blurb directly from Fostex...
"The ideal choice for smaller studios requiring nearfield monitoring, the perfectly formed PM0.5 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."
