Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex Model NX-5A.
The NX-5A is a near field monitor with a built-in power amplifier.
It delivers a musical and highly accurate sound, allowing you to check a sound thoroughly to
a fine nuance.
The NX-5A employs a 130-mm woofer (shielded type) which adopts the latest diaphragm
technology and a 20-mm hard dome tweeter (shielded type) which features a magnesium dia-
phragm. It features bi-amplifier design (60W for the woofer, 40W for the tweeter).
In the enclosure, HP sound reflectors are installed for natural low frequency reproduction.
From dynamic low frequencies to natural and smooth high frequencies, the NX-5A reproduces
the whole frequency range faithfully. It is the ideal monitor for recording studios.
