Barefoot Sound Footprint01 8" 3-Way Powered Studio Monitors (Pair)

Description

Barefoot Sound´s Footprint01 studio monitor squeezes the power and precision of the brand´s flagship models into a conveniently sized cabinet. This active 3-way speaker is equipped with dual 8" subwoofers, a 4" midrange driver and a 1" tweeter to deliver an expansive 36Hz–45kHz frequency range. A bi-amplified 500W design provides ample bass power while a 150W amp drives the mid and high frequencies. The Footprint01 is designed for home studios and project studios where space is at a premium but uncompromising sound quality is non-negotiable.

Dual 8-Inch Subwoofers Shake the Room

The Footprint01´s dual opposing 8" subwoofers utilize Barefoot Sound´s patented Dual-Force technology to produce clean, chest-thumping bass down to 36Hz. With 500 watts of power, these subwoofers deliver a level of low-end precision and extension typically reserved for much larger studio monitors. You´ll not only hear the bass, you´ll feel it.

Four-Driver 3-Way Design Covers the Full Spectrum

In addition to its seismic subwoofer section, the Footprint01 incorporates a 4" aluminum midrange driver and a 1" dual ring radiating tweeter. The midrange driver´s rigid, lightweight aluminum cone provides exceptional transient response for clear, detailed mids. The dual ring tweeter design offers a wider dispersion pattern and smoother high-frequency response. Together with the subwoofers, these drivers cover an expansive 36Hz–45kHz frequency range.

MEME Technology Provides Multiple Reference Points

Barefoot Sound´s MEME technology enables the Footprint01 to emulate the sound of classic studio monitors like Yamaha NS10s, Auratone Sound Cubes and consumer hi-fi systems. At the push of a button, you can reference your mixes through different sonic lenses without changing monitors. Ensure your tracks will translate optimally to any playback system with this innovative feature.

Precision Engineering in a Compact Cabinet

Despite its space-efficient proportions, the Footprint01 is crafted with the same obsessive attention to detail as Barefoot Sound´s larger monitors. Its non-parallel walls minimize unwanted resonances while strategically placed ports optimize low-frequency extension and response. For home studios and project studios where every sound matters, the Footprint01 delivers a genuine Barefoot Sound experience in a monitor sized for tight spaces.
