Kenny Beats and his Barefoot Sound speakers

collapse expand iconDescription

Based on the best-selling Footprint01, the Barefoot Sound Footprint02 studio monitors utilizes the same technology as its predecessor in an even more compact and affordable package. With an active 3-way design and dual 200W Class-D amplifiers, these powerful near-field speakers combine stunning sound quality with a wide dynamic range and smooth bass extension.

Equipped with four compact, yet powerful drivers, the Footprint02 utilizes an active 3-way design to deliver even, balanced sound from 42Hz–45kHz. Two 6.5" paper cone subwoofers utilize Barefoot’s patented Dual-Force technology to eliminate cabinet vibrations and reduce unwanted distortion. A 4" aluminum cone driver delivers a focused detailed midrange, while the 1" dual-ring radiating tweeter offers silky-smooth highs with an extremely wide sweet spot all the way up to 45kHz.

The Footprint02 houses a cutting-edge two-way DSP crossover, which feeds dual 200W Class-D amplifiers, and a passive crossover network between the midrange driver and the tweeter for a clean, balanced sound. Much like the Footprint01, the Footprint02 features the same instantly recognizable front baffle speaker configuration with the tweeter positioned below the midrange woofer. With side-mounted dual opposing paper cone subwoofers, dual-ring radiator tweeter and aluminum cone midrange driver housed in a sleek cabinet with rounded corners and edges, the Footprint02 looks as good as it sounds.

All Barefoot Sound reference 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.

    A big upgrade from the Tannoy Gold 7s I was using before. It was like putting on glasses and being able to see clearly for the first time. I am able to perceive space and reverb tails much better now. Plenty of low end for mixing electronic music, without appearing pronounced or unbalanced. The build quality is solid and they have plenty of power and available headroom. I will keep these for years to come. I do not use the MEME technology at all and run them flat 100% of the time.
