Barefoot Sound Footprint01

The Barefoot Sound Footprint01 powered near field monitor is the latest design from Barefoot Sound. Ideal for engineers, producers and musicians in smaller studios, the Footprint01 utilizes the same advanced technology as the MicroMain and MasterStack series monitors to deliver Barefoot’s signature sound in a compact, affordable package.FOUR-DRIVER DESIGN

The Footprint01 is an active 3-way reference monitor equipped with four class-leading drivers for an extended frequency range from 36 Hz – 45 kHz. Two 8-inch paper cone subwoofers utilize Barefoot’s patented Dual-Force technology to eliminate cabinet vibrations and reduce unwanted distortion. A 4-inch aluminum cone driver delivers a focused, detailed midrange, while the 1-inch dual ring radiating tweeter offers silky-smooth highs with an extremely wide sweet spot.

PERFECTLY BALANCED CROSSOVERS

The Footprint01 features a state-of-the-art DSP crossover, which feeds two Class D amplifiers and a passive crossover network between the midrange driver and tweeter for clean, balanced sound. And with 500 W of power to the subs and an additional 150 W for the midrange driver and tweeter, the Footprint01 packs a powerful punch in a compact frame.

MEME TECHNOLOGY

All Barefoot Sound studio monitors are equipped with Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation, or MEME technology, which uses sophisticated DSP processing to emulate the sound of a wide range of classic studio monitors. Quickly reference your tracks on three additional monitor profiles and ensure your mixes will translate to any environment.

“Old School” mode emulates the sound of the iconic Yamaha NS10M monitors with an edgy, midrange-forward sound. The “Cube” setting is modeled after the legendary Auratone Sound Cube, giving your mixes a boxy, lo-fi sound. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the “Hi-Fi” setting emulates the sound of consumer hi-fi systems with a sweet high-end and warm midrange. And of course, the “flat” setting delivers the signature Barefoot sound that engineers, producers and musicians around the world have grown to know and love.
