Fostex PM-SUBmini 2

Awesome sub

This sub has transformed my hifi system. The bass is deep and weighty without making the ground tremble. It sounds natural and integrates seamlessly with the other speakers. Fantastic for hifi enthusiasts that want good not crazy bass.

Amazing little thing

Didn't believe that 5' can make such good sound. Of course, it's hasn't the breathtaking low frequensys like it's "bigger brothers" But it fits almost anywhere. It's a perfect thing when you need a sub, but don't have the place for it...

Good for a small sub

I bought this for a 5.1 TV setup, space was an issue for where I need to place this, I was afraid I wouldn't go low enough But this does the job nicely. I also tried it with a set of Alesis Pont 7 monitors and if filled out the bottom well, complimenting the monitors nicely.

Small but powerfull

My studio i s quite small and this sub was more than enough for my taste.

It looks that the smaller can be also better ;)

I like em,they are great! they are quality!

They add that bass that you need down to 40hz, it's great for mixing/mastering/production/movies/other purposes, I added these to my small Fostex PMO 3's, perfect fit for each other, and looks amazing together,

The subwoofer is great! no coloring sound, doesn't sound boxy or cheap. it's a great addition to any small room with small speakers that doesn't provide enough bass

Well impressed

Bought for use with Eve Audio SC203 monitoring system. Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews i remained sceptical it would please me as a bottom end for casual listening and monitoring sound. Pleased to say this is a tremendous value for money unit - £130 vs £460 for the Eve TS107.

While i don't have direct comparison to more expensive studio grade subs as a casual listener/producer it is more than enough. Has a clean, punchy bass response which perfectly suits smaller monitoring systems such as Eve SC203. Without it I was missing a lot of low end, SC203 has surprising bass but little impact. Upon firing up the SUBmini sound immediately became much fuller. In my situation it sounds best with phase inverted (brings a warmer, bassier response) and volume around half way, though your mileage may vary.

So to conclude this is perfect for smaller monitoring set-ups where super deep lows and loud listening volumes are not a requirement. Clean sound and very well made unit for the money.

Very Nice Bass

This small subwoofer delivers not a big amount of bass, but because it is not ported the clarity of the sound is very good, even considering it small size. I compared to a 8 inch Mackie (around 300 euros), and even though the Mackie would make some stuff shake in my room, it wouldnt sound as clear. My room is around 17 square meters.

I have it paired with some Presonus 3.5in monitors (for 129 Euros) and the combination works PERFECTLY. Visually, the presonus have composite cones which also fit very well with the Fostex cone.

Compared to the previously mentioned Mackie, this subwoofer would not send any noise to the Eris speakers, while the Mackie did, EVEN when it was turned off. So thumbs up for the Fostex.

The only complain I have about the subwoofer is that it only has a unbalanced RCA input and does not offer a 6.3mm jack balanced, which is pretty much standard.

Anyway, for the price I paid, and for the amount of space it takes, I dont think you can do better.

Fostex PM-SUBmini 2

Fostex PM-SUBmini 2 is a great mini sub for those who lacks space and need something to complete the sound of their speakers. Although a bit pricey, it offers good build quality and great sound for its size.

5 stars from me.

pros - sound great (for size) , build quality

cons- bit pricey

the best sub for this price.

The best subwoofer for such a number, as some expect quality and power :) Which means that the power is low for the needs will be sufficient.

In general, I am delighted with the quality of the sound and the sound with fostex pm0 3d doing the robot is nice :)

Very Good Subwoofer

It's very useful subwoofer. I think it's not so professional but you can reach pretty good scores! In my opinion if you have a home recording studio or you have a "self made" studio, this subwoofer suits perfectly for your business.
