The Barefoot Sound Footprint03 3-Way Active Studio Monitor offers remarkable sonic precision in a compact design. Redesigned drivers and bass porting provide extremely accurate frequency response and dynamic performance. Engineered with a tri-amplified 3-way configuration delivering 260 watts of power per monitor, these next-gen Barefoot monitors deliver powerful bass response and clarity across the frequency spectrum. Featuring patented SPOC (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) and integrated MEME (Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation) technology, the Barefoot Sound Footprint03 makes it easy to trust your mix in any reference scenario. Ideal for professional studios and smaller rooms, these speakers provide inspiring performance for audio engineers and musicians alike.
The Footprint03 reimagines the already superb design of previous Barefoot monitors. It replaces the classic Dual-Force subwoofers with a cutting-edge front-firing 6.5-inch woofer accompanied by a refined side-firing port design. This ported speaker design enhances frequency response and transients, minimizes port chuffing, and delivers extended low-end output. Additionally, a re-engineered midrange driver cone ensures that every detail is rendered with superb clarity, resulting in a monitor that stays true to Barefoot Sound's sonic signature while excelling in compact environments. The ring radiator tweeter tops it all off with ultra pure treble response even at loud volumes.
The Barefoot Sound Footprint03's drivers are a testament to precise engineering. Each component—from the robust woofer and finely detailed midrange driver to the crisp 1-inch ring radiator tweeter—is powered by dedicated amplifiers within a tri-amplified design. Distributing 260 watts across all three drivers, the system produces consistent full-range sound even at high volumes, providing impressive low end response and low noise. Barefoot Sound's expert electro-mechanical driver design ensures transparent frequency response, accurate phase, and low-distortion performance even in smaller rooms.
The Barefoot Sound Footprint03 is the first in the series to introduce patented Barefoot SPOC technology, revolutionizing digital conversion quality. SPOC splits high and low frequencies into distinct conversion channels—attenuating low frequencies to match the ADC requirements while preserving full-resolution processing for high frequencies. This separation minimizes signal distortion, produces more controlled bass response, and improves midrange and high frequency clarity. The result is a signature Barefoot Sound monitor that offers superb power in the low frequencies, signal clarity in the high frequencies, and lower distortion across the spectrum.
With built in MEME technology, the Barefoot Sound Footprint03 provides versatile reference emulations to simplify your workflow. This innovative feature lets you audition your mixes through a range of familiar playback systems, from standard consumer setups to the iconic vintage NS10 and classic mix cubes. By eliminating the need for additional reference monitors or external emulation systems, Barefoot Sound MEME technology not only declutters your workspace but also guarantees that you’re hearing your signal through trusted sonic profiles. This flexibility is invaluable for professionals seeking consistent reference points while mixing and mastering, ensuring every decision is informed by accurate, emulation-driven feedback.
The Barefoot Sound Footprint03 is designed with a compact footprint that hides its powerful performance. Its sleek, space-saving dimensions ensure that it fits effortlessly into small studios and immersive setups without sacrificing sound quality. Standard VESA mounting points integrated into the cabinet provide versatile options for both overhead and surround mounting, giving users better control over their studio setup. Along with relatively low weight for its size, these flexible mounting solutions provide easy and secure installation, enabling users to configure a variety of setups in spaces of all sizes.
By introducing redesigned drivers and SPOC technology, the Footprint03 encapsulates Barefoot Sound’s commitment to delivering transparent signal and ultra reliable performance. From the woofer to the tweeter, the speaker design masterfully balances high frequencies and low frequencies, ensuring a seamless frequency response that showcases every sonic detail. Enhanced low-end response and lower distortion come together to provide unmatched clarity, while careful DSP tuning maintains reliable performance in any environment. This evolution signifies a leap forward in studio monitoring technology, making this a quality purchase for professional engineers and mixers interested in optimized precision and accuracy. Your ears will thank you!
Barefoot speakers priced under 2k may seem too good to be true, but indeed, they match the sound quality of higher-priced models. They offer a balanced bass response and incorporate innovative technology, such as SPOC, which enhances their performance. These speakers excel in reproducing high frequencies, outperforming their predecessors, the 02 and 01 models. If your mixing room is under 300 sq.ft., opting for these speakers over the Footprint 02 or 01 is a logical choice, unless you specifically desire the emphasized bass characteristic of Barefoot speakers (although the 03 model is not lacking in bass—it delivers robust and precise bass response). For larger studios, a larger speaker pair is recommended, moving beyond the near-field category.When paired with a suitable subwoofer, the Barefoot 03 speakers exhibit excellent performance, ensuring that your audio needs are met swiftly and accurately.
