The FOSTEX FE-NV series continues the tradition of FOSTEX's full-range regular units. It offers bright and clear sound, with added transparency and crispness in the NV iteration. Available in a wide range of sizes from 8cm to 20cm, the series features a newly developed cone made primarily from ultra-refined kenaf, combined with chemical fibers and minerals to enhance propagation speed and rigidity. The series eliminates eyelets across all sizes to reduce harmonic distortion in the midrange. Additionally, its design aesthetics have been updated.
