Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen 2

MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) allows you to switch between different monitor voicings, such as 'Old School' or 'Cube,' to emulate the sound of other popular studio speakers. It is a practical tool for checking how your mix translates across different playback systems without needing to swap out your main monitors.

The three-way architecture separates the frequency spectrum into dedicated drivers for lows, mids, and highs. This reduces intermodulation distortion, giving you much clearer separation in the midrange where critical mix decisions—like vocal placement and instrument balance—are made.

Yes, they are designed specifically to bring reference-grade performance into smaller spaces. The sealed cabinet design and Dual-Force technology help control low-end resonance, which prevents the bass from becoming muddy or overwhelming in a room that hasn't been professionally treated.

With a frequency response reaching down to 36Hz, the Footprint01 Gen 2 provides enough low-end extension for most professional mixing tasks. Unless you are working in genres that require extreme sub-bass monitoring, you likely won't need an additional subwoofer.

The Dual-Force technology uses opposing drivers to cancel out mechanical vibrations within the cabinet. This ensures the speaker remains stable even at high volumes, resulting in a tighter, more accurate low-end response that doesn't color the sound.

Because these monitors are highly accurate, they will reveal room issues you might not have heard before. While they perform better than most in untreated rooms due to their sealed design, adding basic bass traps and first-reflection panels will significantly improve your ability to trust what you are hearing.
