Compact Powered Studio Monitor with Balanced XLR Input
The Fostex 6301NE is a compact, rugged active monitor designed for professional mobile, project, and home studios. It features a 4" full-range driver driven by an integrated 20W Class-D amplifier that delivers clear, balanced sound across 70 Hz to 15 kHz.

Inputs include an electronically balanced XLR and a 1/4" unbalanced connector, ensuring versatile connectivity. The front panel offers a power switch and a rotary volume control for easy adjustments.

Durability is assured with a die-cast aluminum enclosure built to withstand demanding use. Protection circuitry prevents overloads and short circuits, while magnetic shielding allows safe placement near video monitors. A multi-voltage power supply enables worldwide use, and an Auto Standby Mode reduces power consumption to 0.5W after 25 minutes of inactivity.
