Barefoot Sound Launches New Footprint Line

Barefoot Sound is kicking off NAMM week with a major announcement, as the monitor makers have developed a new line of speakers entitled Footprint. The first release in the line is the Footprint01, an active 3-way speaker that shares many of the elements of the classic monitors designed by Thomas Barefoot.

Created for the purpose of offering engineers, producers and musicians on a budget the ability to afford Barefoot designed monitors, this speaker utilizes Dual-Force technology opposing sub woofers, dual ring radiator tweeter and Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation technology. The Footprint01 also features dual opposing 8-inch paper cone subwoofers, a 4-inch aluminum cone midrange driver and a 1-inch dual ring radiating tweeter.

The approach Barefoot has taken when designing reference monitors is one that focuses on incredible sound quality, wide dynamic range and bass extension through the entire creation of a piece of audio. The new Footprint01 will bring these key design elements to smaller studios and enable users to hear their work in a completely different way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between New, Demo, and Used?‬

New products are brand new and factory‑sealed from the manufacturer. Most new items that Vintage King carries are subject to our FREE extended warranty protection. 

Demo deal items are typically customer returns or factory-refurbished. Prior to shipment, each unit is carefully tested by our expert tech staff to ensure that functionality is 100% to spec.

Used items were formerly owned by someone else, and either sold to us or traded in toward the purchase of other equipment. Although no longer under the manufacturer's warranty period, almost all used items are serviced by our in-house technical staff, and come with a Vintage King warranty: 1 year for analog rack gear, 6 months for microphones, and 30 days for most digital products.
