I looked for small monitor speakers, active and proximity, for mobile use with a laptop and an M-audio fw410.
18 watts + 18 watts highs for serious: more than enough for this use. Jack and RCA connectors. Large volume knob on the back, oversize compared to that of PM1. ON LED on the front. Nice finish front, black lacquered. 3.75 kg each.
SOUNDS
Top of the spectrum very well defined, perfect stereo image, good dynamics and precision across the spectrum but watch anything below 53 Hz at-10dB (with test frequency generator) .. m'enfin, given the small size boomers (4 inches) and the announcement of a lower bandwidth by the manufacturer (60Htz-22Khz at-10dB) is still not quibble.
OVERALL OPINION
After two days of testing, good little plays that fit my requirements, well suited to first-rate controls in a sound recording: frequency of attacks, pop and sibilance on vocals, compression strength, closing gates and possibly stalling reverbs and delays. Nothing to do with the PM1 descending course much lower but the high end seems better defined than the latter, can be vis a vis the lower medium less present. True smaller monitors relatively precise control of small budget. Much better than a pair of Auratone. Not meant to mix, though, with a sub box optional to do.
I am very pleased with this purchase that perfectly matches what I sought. Compact, precise definition and image: Ideal for the nomad with a laptop and a sound card.
