Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 - 3-way active near field monitor 6.5" (Pair)

Flagship Precision for the Compact Studio

Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 is a complete redesign of one of the industry's most acclaimed monitoring solutions, engineered to bring world-class accuracy into space-conscious production environments. Delivering the same high-performance DNA as the legendary MicroMain series, these tri-amplified monitors offer stunning transparency and low-end extension for professional mixing engineers, mastering houses, and immersive audio creators.

Pure Resolution with SPOC Technology
The Gen2 debuts Barefoot’s patented SPOC™ (Spectrally Optimised Conversion) platform, which revolutionises signal clarity by introducing an analogue crossover stage before digital conversion. This innovative approach allows high-frequency signals to enter the converter unattenuated, providing a 15 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and an additional 5 bits of digital resolution. For you, this means ultra-low latency monitoring with transparent high-frequency reproduction and precise imaging that reveals every nuance of your mix.

Vibration-Free Power via Dual-Force
To achieve deep, impactful bass without cabinet colouration, the Footprint02 Gen2 utilises proprietary Dual-Force™ technology. By mounting dual 165mm aluminium woofers in an opposing configuration with mechanically locked motors, equal and opposite forces cancel cabinet vibrations before they can excite the enclosure. This results in 410W of tri-amplified power that remains tight and controlled down to 38Hz, providing a theatrical low-end feel while maintaining the honesty needed for critical tracking and film scoring.

Versatile Translation with MEME Emulation
The Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation (MEME™) technology allows you to reference your work across multiple playback environments without moving from the sweet spot. By emulating the frequency, phase, and transient response of classic reference speakers—including the iconic NS10M and vintage mix cubes—the Gen2 effectively replaces the need for secondary reference monitors. You can switch instantly between an analytical "Flat" response and an inspirational "Hi-Fi" voicing, ensuring your mix translates perfectly from the studio to the car.

Main features:

• Fully tri-amplified 3-way architecture with dedicated Class D modules for every driver
