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.
