Barefoot Sound MainMicro45 - 3-way Active Studio Monitor (Pair)

Precision You Can Trust

The MicroMain45 (MM45) is a high-performance 3-way active monitor designed specifically for mixing and mastering engineers who demand absolute transparency. By distilling the renowned signal path, amplifier, and driver technologies of the flagship MiniMain12 into a compact nearfield package, Barefoot has created the ultimate studio workhorse for small to mid-sized project studios. Whether you are tracking live instruments or fine-tuning complex film scores, the MM45 delivers the "magic" of high-resolution audio without requiring second-guessing.

Total Referencing with MEME™ Technology
The MM45 doesn't just sound like a world-class monitor; it sounds like any reference you need. Barefoot’s Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation (MEME™) allows you to reference classic "Old School" NS10Ms, "Cube" mix-cubes, or "Hi-Fi" consumer systems at the turn of a dial. This revolutionary technology models frequency, phase, and transient responses—and even specific distortion characteristics—streamlining your workflow by eliminating console clutter while ensuring your mixes translate flawlessly across every playback system.

Impeccable Clarity and Headroom
Driven by up to 610 watts of high-fidelity Hypex amplification, the MM45 provides a massive sense of unflustered precision from low-end fundamentals up to 45kHz. Its 3-way architecture ensures that each high-performance aluminium driver handles only its dedicated frequency range, which virtually eliminates thermal compression. The result is a transparent, "window-smashing" level of detail that presents every element of your mix individually, allowing you to hear flaws that other monitors simply mask.

An Expansive Sweet Spot
Featuring the same 1" ring radiator tweeter found in Barefoot’s flagship mastering stacks, the MM45 creates an incredibly wide and accurate sweet spot. A unique design "pins" the centre of the tweeter with a metal phase plug and utilises a tuned rear waveguide chamber within the sealed enclosure. This ensures off-axis dispersion is so well-controlled that you can move freely around your workspace without losing tonal balance or stereo imaging integrity.
