PX-5
Professional Monitoring System
Equipped with a 13cm woofer and a 2.5cm soft dome tweeter. Digital FIR filtering provides accurate phase response comparable to that of full-range speakers. This monitor speaker reproduces accurate sound unparalleled in its class.
User Review: NEKO PUNCH
We found the PX-5 to have excellent sound resolution and reproduction of the original sound.
At NEKO PUNCH, we do most of the mixing ourselves, so the PX-5’s wide range and ease of listening to a variety of sounds makes sound creation even more enjoyable.
NEKO PUNCH Profile
NEKO PUNCH was formed in London, England in 2012 by Leanne, a singer-songwriter and mixer, and MACC, a producer, songwriter, and arranger, as a bridge between the UK and Japanese music scenes, expressing their own worldview including fashion and lifestyle. They also provide music and produce music for other artists.

Features
Tweeter Unit
The 2.5cm soft dome tweeter uses a UFLC diaphragm that solves problems such as peaks and dips and low sound pressure due to excessive weight, and achieves lightweight and extremely stable performance.
woofer unit
The 13cm woofer unit has unprecedented strength by blending natural fibers with aramid fibers in the diaphragm and soaking it in crimson resin to eliminate unnecessary resonance and reproduce stable mid-low tones.
Butyl rubber, which has an established reputation for linearity, is used for the edge, and together with the aramid fiber damper, it moderately absorbs split resonance, enabling a straightforward and stable response from low to high input.
The magnetic circuit is equipped with a powerful magnet that, together with the long voice coil, reproduces rich and responsive bass.
Amplifier and filter section and input section
Driven by a high quality digital amplifier with 35W (LF) and 18W (HF) output.
A digital FIR filter is used for the dividing network, and strict time alignment minimizes phase interference to achieve localization comparable to that of full-range speakers, even though they are 2-way speakers.
A subsonic filter linked to the roll-off frequency of the BASS adjustment cuts unwanted ultra-low frequency noise outside the playback bandwidth.
A rotary encoder is used for volume/trim adjustment, which does not change over time and is not affected by sliding noise.
The adjustment range is ±3 dB in 0.3 dB sound pressure increments for the tweeter level, and 20 steps of low-frequency roll-off frequency adjustment on the woofer side.
In addition, the settings are indicated by LEDs for ease of use and further accuracy.
Automatic standby function for power saving.
Fade-in function that gradually increases the volume level to the set volume level at power-on to prevent problems caused by unintentional input.
Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are supported. Connectors include standard phones and RCA pins for unbalanced and balanced XLR-3-31. The standard phone and XLR-3-31 jacks are integrated as a combo jack.
