FOSTEX - a world leading speaker component manufacturer
The Fostex Company was founded in July 1973 by Foster Electric Co.,Ltd. (founded 1949), one
of the world‘s largest developers of OEM speaker and transducer products, employing over
20,000 people in nine countries/territories. Foster Electric Co.,Ltd. is listed on the Tokyo Stock
Exchange.
Fostex was established to brand high quality speaker components from Foster and sell them
direct to consumers and dealers in the Japanese marketplace. This area of the speaker component business is still something unique to Japan where there continues to be a high number
of individuals designing and building their own speaker units at home, some for sale but many
just for personal use.
In 1978 Fostex started to developed speakers units for professional use and with these products Fostex began to export worldwide causing the brand to became very well known with
both hi-fi and professional manufacturers and users. The world‘s best selling small powered
monitor speaker for broadcast and professional use continues to be the Fostex 6301B, still going strong after twenty years.
Through utilising Foster‘s China facility, following remarkable success in the Japanese market
of the NF-1A and NF01A in 2000, which feature patented Hyperbolic Paraboloid (HP) diaphragm
engineering, Fostex released the PM series speaker in 2002 which has now grown to be a range
of different models, offering budget conscious studios and musicians excellent audio monitoring
at excellent price points.
