Barefoot Sound Footprint03C - 3-way active center channel monitor 6" (Each)

Precision Anchored at the Centre

The Footprint03C is a professional 3-way active monitor engineered to provide absolute tonal consistency and clarity. Originally conceived as the symmetrical centre-channel anchor for Footprint03 immersive systems, its exceptional performance has seen it widely adopted as a high-fidelity stereo solution for compact studios. Whether you are a mixing engineer building a Dolby Atmos rig or a producer in need of a powerful, space-conscious reference pair, the Footprint03C delivers the legendary Barefoot translation and transparency in a versatile landscape format.

SPOC™ Technology for Unmatched Signal Transparency
The Footprint03C features Barefoot’s patented Spectrally Optimised Conversion (SPOC™). By incorporating an analogue crossover section before the digital conversion stage, high-frequency information passes into the converter unattenuated. This innovative hybrid approach yields a 5-bit higher resolution and a 15dB improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in a transparent, high-detail signal that allows you to hear deeper into your mix with near-zero latency.

MEME™ Emulation for Real-World Translation
Equipped with proprietary Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation™ (MEME™) technology, the Footprint03C allows you to audition your work across multiple reference environments without leaving the sweet spot. At the flip of a switch, you can transition from the ultra-accurate "Flat" response to emulations of classic "Old School" white-cone monitors, "Cube" mix-checks, or consumer "Hi-Fi" systems. This workflow eliminates the need for extra boxes on your desk and ensures your mix translates perfectly everywhere it plays.

Dual-Woofer Sealed Cabinet Performance
Unlike the ported design of the standard Footprint03, the Footprint03C utilises a sealed box cabinet to maintain a shallow, low-profile format. This configuration uses dual forward-facing 6.5-inch aluminium cone woofers to provide the increased bass output and dynamic headroom required for critical centre-channel tasks like dialogue and lead vocal reproduction. The result is a tight, fast transient response and focused imaging that makes the monitor perform far beyond its compact physical size.

Main features:

• Tri-amplified 3-way design with 260W of total Class-D power per monitor
• Dual 6.5-inch aluminium cone woofers for extended low-frequency headroom
• 1-inch ring radiator tweeter with neodymium motor and rear waveguide chamber
