New PS-3.1 Powered Monitor System From Fostex
 February 10, 2000
The PS-3.1 powered monitor system is a new
\improved version of Fostex’s original PS-3 system. Offering two
satellite speakers and a powered subwoofer, the PS-3.1 system debuts at
the 2000 NAMM Show in Los Angeles.
Although
primarily known for its recording products, Fostex has, over the years,
continued to offer a variety of speaker products designed for sound reinforcement
and studio applications.
"The new PS-3.1 powered monitor system is the perfect solution
for home recording and multimedia applications," says Phil Celia,
director of sales for Fostex Corporation of America. "We’ve
added a number of enhancements to our original PS-3 system that enable
the PS-3.1 to provide even better style, performance and durability. The
satellite speakers—model SS-1.1—are now full-range, and, like
its predecessor, shielded from magnetic interference caused by video monitors.
A new proprietary crossover network provides better efficiency, creating
a smoother transition between the subwoofer and satellite speakers. The
net result is a more accurate sound and musical response. We also have
available optional mounting brackets."
The PS-3.1 system includes two SS-1.1 full-range, shielded satellite
speakers that are rated at 5 watts into 4 ohms. The SW-1.1 subwoofer is
a ported bass reflex design and is rated at 15 watts into 4 ohms. The
powered system requires no external amplification.
Suggested retail price on the Fostex PS-3.1 system is $349.00.
