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 diaphragm. 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.

Precautions
•
In the event of smoke or odors, immediately turn off the
power switch and remove the AC plug from the outlet.
Continued use under such conditions will result in fire
and/or electrical shock.
After extinction of such conditions, refer the problem to
a dealer or our service station located nearest to you.
In no events must an attempt to correct the problem by
unauthorized personnel take place. Noncompliance with
this notice may pose an extreme danger.
•
In the event of entry of water or an object into the
appliance, immediately turn off the power switch and
remove the AC plug from the AC outlet.
A dealer or our service station located nearest to you
must be contacted for reinstatement of the original
conditions. Continued use without it will result in fire
and/or electrical shock.
•
In the event of electrical discontinuity and/or damage
including conductor exposure occurs to the power cord,
contact a dealer or our service station located nearest to
you for service. Continued use without it will result in
fire and/or electrical shock.
•
In the even of a fall of the appliance or damage to
appliance cover, immediately remove the AC plug from
the AC outlet and contact a dealer or our service station
located nearest to you for service. Continued use
without it will result in fire and/or electrical shock.
•
Placement of the appliance where contact with water is
likely must be avoided. Otherwise, fire and/or electrical
shock will result. This precaution is particularly
important when the appliance is used outdoors (on rainy
or snowy days, on the beach or other such places).
•
No vases or cups containing water, and/or small metal
pieces must be placed on the appliance.
Spilling of water or dropping of metal pieces into the

Main features of NX-5A
NX-5A (Powered Near Field Monitor)
• Woofer featuring the HR (Hyper Radial) diaphragm
The NX-5A employs the 130-mm woofer. It features
the highly rigid HR (Hyper Radial) diaphragm, developed by using the latest diaphragm technology called
"Radial papermaking technology". As a result, the NX5A offers a rich low frequency sound with minimum
distortion.
Furthermore, by using the "UDR tangential edge" for
the woofer edge, it eliminates the unnecessary resonance and achieves pure and clear sound reproduc
tion (see Figure 1).
Radial paper-forming technology
Using the radial paper-forming technology, speaker diaphragms are made from compound materials (pulp, fiber,
etc.) in a radial shape. This technology allows you to make
diaphragms with the desired thickness and strength, which
results in improving the speed and extent of a sound.
UDR (Up/Down Roll) tangential edge
A revolutionary technology is used for the NX-5A woofer
edge. The edge is created by joining up-roll and down-roll at
their tangential surfaces while utilizing FEM model analysis
to determined the optimum bonding points. The UDR tangential edge is adopted to the edge of the NX-5A woofer.
HR diaphragm
• HP sound reflectors
The two HP sound reflectors are installed in the enclosure as shown in Figure 3. In the NX-5A enclosure,
micron wool is also placed appropriately.
This configuration reflects the sound in the enclosure
diffusely and creates the condition where stationary
wave is decayed.

<Figure 1>
• Tweeter featuring magnesium diaphragm
The 20-mm hard dome tweeter employs the magnesium diaphragm. This tweeter produces natural and
extended high frequencies, while eliminating a peculiar sound which most metallic tweeters may produce
(see Figure 2).
Magnesium dia-
phragm
The arrangement example of the HP sound reflectors (the cut model
above shows the inside of the Fostex NF-1).
• Bi-amplifier power
The NX-5A utilizes a powerful bi-amplifier design (60W
for the woofer, 40W for the tweeter). Driving each
speaker unit independently eliminates audio impurity
caused by the electric interference between the units.
The built-in power amplifier also provides functions
for compensating audio frequency characteristics to
match the sonic character of a room, including the
low frequency (around 55Hz range) equalizer and the
tweeter level control.
The power amplifier is equipped with both the balanced and unbalanced input connectors, allowing
connection to any audio systems.

Enclosure positioning
Adopting the time alignment construction, as well as mounting the woofer and tweeter closely, the NX-5A
provides a wide monitoring area.
We recommend to install the NX-5As vertically, as shown below, not only from the point of view of audio
phase characteristics but also from the point of view of radiation of the built-in power amplifier. As a human ear is sensitive in the left-right direction, setting the unit horizontally is undesirable from the point of
view of phase characteristics.
Vertical positioning
Horizontal positioning
• Optimal listening point and setting
To get the best of the NX-5A performance, set them at the appropriate height so that the middle point
between the center positions of the tweeter and woofer matches the listener’s ear height.
Then, orient them 15 to 30 degrees inward to form a triangle as shown in the Figure below.
The vertex of the equilateral triangle in the Figure is best listening position.

Maintenance precautions
Be careful when cleaning speaker/enclosure surfaces!!
•
No protecting grilles or covers are provided with
NX-5A. Brush off dust attached to surfaces of
speakers with soft dusters. Avoid direct fingers or
damp dust cloth contact with diaphragms.
•
Stained enclosure surfaces must be wiped with
tightly wrung-out soft cloth after immersion in a
diluted detergent. Under no circumstances must
organic solvents such as paint thinner be used.
