The Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 continues the evolution of Barefoot Sound's acclaimed monitor lineup, delivering the same high-performance DNA as the flagship models in a more compact and accessible form. While the original Footprint02 carved out its place as the mid-sized solution in the Footprint series, the Gen2 takes things further with reengineered drivers, updated DSP, and refined cabinet acoustics, all designed to offer stunning accuracy and sonic integrity in smaller studio spaces.
Like its larger sibling, the Footprint02 Gen2 features a fully tri-amplified 3-way system with dedicated Class D amplification for each driver. A powerful 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter, a precision-engineered 5-inch aluminum cone midrange, and dual 6.5-inch aluminum cone Dual-Force Technology woofers work together to deliver seamless crossover transitions, improved transient response, and high output with minimal distortion. Each component has been upgraded for enhanced linearity, deeper low-end extension, and sharper midrange clarity, making the Gen2 ideal for mixing, mastering, and immersive setups where space efficiency matters.
At the core of the Footprint02 Gen2 is Barefoot's patented SPOC (SPectrally Optimized Conversion) technology, which places analog filtering ahead of digital conversion for improved signal-to-noise ratio, greater resolution, and more transparent high-frequency reproduction. Combined with a new low latency DSP engine, the result is more precise imaging, extended bass, and accurate real-world translation.
The cabinet design has also been refined with increased internal volume, optimized damping, and enhanced rigidity, all housed in the signature sealed MDF enclosure finished in Barefoot's iconic textured gray coating. This rugged, elegant design ensures clean, tight low-end performance without the artifacts often introduced by ported systems.
The Footprint02 Gen2 also features Barefoot's MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) Technology, enabling you to instantly switch between multiple reference speaker types from consumer speakers to vintage mix cubes without changing your monitoring position.
Whether you're building a stereo setup or crafting a compact immersive system, the Footprint02 Gen2 delivers flagship Barefoot performance in a space-efficient form factor. With its unmatched balance of power, precision, and size, it stands as the ideal middleweight solution in the Footprint series.
As Barefoot Sound continues to evolve the acclaimed Footprint series, the Footprint02 Gen2 stands out as a key pillar in the lineup. Introduced as the second model in the series, the Footprint02 has consistently bridged the gap between flagship power and compact studio practicality. Now reimagined as the Gen2, it delivers even greater clarity, output, and DSP precision, offering the same core Barefoot performance as the top-tier models in a more space-conscious form factor. Slightly smaller and more affordable than the original Footprint01, the Footprint02 Gen2 remains the second largest and second most powerful monitor in the series, making it an ideal choice for professionals who demand no-compromise monitoring without the footprint of a flagship.
The series began with the Footprint01, which set the benchmark for the "affordable Barefoot" concept with full-range clarity and massive headroom. The Footprint03 followed as the most compact and cost-effective option, featuring a ported design perfect for immersive and space-limited environments. Rounding out the family is the Footprint03C, developed as a dedicated center channel but now widely used in stereo systems due to its balanced response and versatility. With the Gen2 updates to both the Footprint01 and Footprint02, Barefoot Sound reaffirms its commitment to delivering elite-level precision across every size and studio need.
The Footprint02 Gen2 is a fully tri-amplified system, featuring dedicated Class D amplifier modules for each driver:
This architecture ensures excellent headroom, low distortion, and precise crossover transitions at 180 hertz and 3700 hertz, delivering smooth, balanced clarity from 38 hertz to 42 kilohertz.
The newly designed 1-inch dual ring radiator tweeter, now featuring a signature aluminum-colored cone, incorporates a low-distortion motor and a rear waveguide chamber to enhance transient response and imaging. Its compact, high-output design delivers detailed high-frequency reproduction with clarity and control, even at higher listening levels.
The 5-inch aluminum cone midrange driver delivers focused vocal and instrumental detail. Engineered for high linearity and low distortion, it provides excellent phase coherence and midrange accuracy, making it essential for critical mixing.
Dual 6.5-inch aluminum cone Dual-Force Technology woofers form the foundation of the Footprint02 Gen2's low-end response. Built with low distortion motors and optimized for use in a sealed enclosure, they offer tight, punchy bass with smooth rolloff, reaching a -3 dB point at 38 hertz.
At the core of the Gen2 lies Barefoot's proprietary SPOC (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) system. By incorporating analog crossover filtering before digital conversion, SPOC allows the high-frequency signal to enter the DSP unattenuated. This unique approach provides 15 dB better signal-to-noise ratio, higher digital resolution, improved transient response, and reduced latency. Coupled with a new low latency DSP engine, the Gen2 delivers pristine sonic accuracy, tighter bass tuning, and enhanced spatial imaging, essential for immersive audio workflows and precision mixing.
The Footprint02 Gen2 features a sealed cabinet constructed from medium-density fiberboard (MDF), with full acoustic damping throughout and stress-assembled design for added rigidity. The internal volume of 9.4 liters is tuned to optimize dispersion and transient response, while the rugged polyester gray textured finish completes its professional studio aesthetic.
The Footprint02 Gen2 also features Barefoot's MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) Technology, enabling you to instantly switch between multiple reference speaker types. For example, you can vibe in Hi-Fi mode while composing and then switch to FLAT mode for critical mixing decisions. With MEME Technology you get an analytical and inspirational speaker all in one!
