Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2: 3-way active near field monitor 8" (Pair)

Precision Without Compromise

The Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 is a ground-up reinvention of the acclaimed original, engineered to deliver flagship transparency in a compact footprint. Designed for professional mixing engineers, producers, and project studios, these monitors provide the effortless headroom and razor-sharp imaging usually reserved for large-format main monitors. Whether you are working in stereo or configuring an immersive Atmos rig, the Gen2 offers the accuracy you need to ensure your mixes translate flawlessly to the outside world.

Pristine Clarity with SPOC Technology
At the heart of the Gen2 is Barefoot’s patented SPOC™ (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) technology. By applying analogue crossover filtering before the digital conversion stage, this system allows high frequencies to pass unattenuated, providing a 15 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio. This results in significantly higher digital resolution, ultra-low 3 ms latency, and transparent detail that lets you hear every nuance of your audio path with stunning depth.

Vibration-Free Power via Dual-Force
Low-end accuracy is redefined through Dual-Force™ technology. Opposing 8-inch aluminium woofers cancel internal cabinet vibrations before they develop, ensuring deep, punchy bass down to 30 Hz without distortion. This reinforced structural rigidity allows you to feel the low end with absolute confidence, providing a clean and powerful response even at maximum output.

Seamless Translation with MEME Emulation
Box up your secondary references for good. Barefoot’s MEME™ (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) technology lets you instantly switch between four iconic voicings: Flat, Hi-Fi, Old School (NS10M), and Cube. This allows you to reference your mix across multiple playback environments from the monitoring sweet spot, streamlining your workflow and guaranteeing real-world translation every time.
