Fostex Pm0 4 Active Studio Monitors

These are actually the best active studio monitors objectively speaking. The best on the face of the planet revolving around the sun

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

I have this as the sound processor for my kitchen system of JBL subwoofer and 2 JBL active monitors. I use it regularly and have had zero issues with its operation since putting it in service April 2017, now September 2022. This is not a critical listening area but it gets a lot of use. I detect no added noise. All controls work like new. I also have an older 215s and it too works just fine after years of service.

I replaced my active monitors with the ELAC speakers and a Yamaha integrated amplifier. Since the ELAC has coaxial arrangement of tweeter + midrange, I felt it would work fine for near field listening. I'm very happy with the result. With nothing playing, the combination of amp with passive speakers has no background hiss. My old monitors had audible hiss and non-defeatable auto-shutoff unless the playback was kept sufficiently loud. I'm using an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the Yamaha amp. I chose ELAC's Satin White with Oak Sides to escape the all-black look of my old monitors.

I use this to control my active mixing monitors and it does what it's supposed to. No noise, a comfortable volume knob, the option of mono or mute, it fits right in. Good quality construction as far as I can tell, so if you need a passive control, this one is worth the money.

I gave 5 stars for decent quality and price. I am using Alesis M1 Active Mk 2 monitors with it, so far so good.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.

4th one I have bought and installed. Have 2 more to go.

I already was using some of these for monitors in my studio, but I find them really useful for miscellaneous use such as a table for a laptop.
