This pair of Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen 2 8" 3-way active near-field monitors reimagines the company’s flagship design for engineers who need accuracy and power in tighter spaces. With a tri-amplified system delivering 60W to the highs, 150W to the mids and 500W to the dual 8" woofers, this monitor provides unmatched balance and clarity across the spectrum. Upgraded drivers, refined DSP and a rigid sealed cabinet produce precise imaging and low-end control that translate effortlessly. MEME emulation and Barefoot’s Dual-Force technology round out a monitor built for those who chase honesty in every mix.

Tri-Amplified Power With Barefoot Sound Precision

Built around a dedicated Class-D amplifier for each driver, the Footprint01 Gen 2 gives you total control over every frequency band. With 60W powering the tweeter, 150W driving the midrange and 500W feeding the dual 8" woofers, this tri-amplified system keeps each range focused and distortion-free. Carefully tuned crossovers at 170Hz and 3,600Hz create seamless transitions that maintain balance and accuracy, even at high SPL levels. It’s professional-grade headroom and power for studios that can’t compromise.

Barefoot Sound Dual-Force Drivers for Controlled Bass

Every mix starts with the low end, and the Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen 2 nails it with dual 8" aluminum woofers built using the brand’s exclusive Dual-Force design. This system mechanically couples the woofers to cancel internal vibrations, resulting in tighter, more accurate low-end response. A 5" aluminum midrange driver delivers detailed vocal and instrumental clarity, while the 1" dual-ring tweeter produces open, natural highs that reveal subtle mix details with surgical precision.

Advanced DSP and MEME Technology With Barefoot Accuracy

The Footprint01 Gen 2’s updated DSP platform with SPOC (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) filtering preserves transient accuracy and expands high-frequency detail. MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) technology lets you switch between reference modes that mimic different playback environments—ideal for checking how your mixes will sound in real-world conditions. With its balanced XLR input and stepped attenuator, setup is simple and repeatable for every session.

Rugged Barefoot Sound Cabinet for Pure Playback

The sealed MDF cabinet with a machined aluminum baffle eliminates unwanted resonance, keeping playback tight and true. Each monitor weighs 40.4lb. and features Barefoot’s signature textured gray finish, designed to complement modern studios while protecting against wear. Its dense construction and internal bracing enhance stability, ensuring consistent, phase-accurate performance from one mix to the next.
