Barefoot Sound LFE12 Dual 12" Subwoofer - Single

Product Description

The Barefoot Sound LFE12 12" subwoofer is designed to provide accurate, extended low-frequency performance for both multichannel and stereo Footprint monitoring systems. With a frequency response extending down to 17 Hz, the LFE12 delivers the depth, power, and control required for critical monitoring, mixing, composing, and playback. The LFE12 incorporates Barefoot Sound’s signature Dual-Force technology, utilizing two opposing 12-inch woofers with neodymium motors operating in phase. This force-cancelling configuration minimizes cabinet vibration at the source, allowing the system to deliver clean, controlled low-frequency extension with excellent definition and transient response.

The sealed cabinet incorporates construction techniques designed to enhance rigidity and reduce unwanted resonance. A textured Footprint Gray polyester coating provides a durable, modern, professional finish, while the cabinet’s substantial mass contributes to greater stability and performance integrity. Powered by 1400 watts of amplification, the LFE12 provides the output and low-frequency extension required for a dedicated LFE channel in 5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos, and other multichannel and immersive monitoring environments. A dedicated LFE input features selectable 80 Hz and 120 Hz low-pass filter settings, while a 0 dB/+10 dB gain switch and stepped input level control provide precise system integration.

For stereo systems, dual BOOST inputs with full-bandwidth THRU outputs allow the LFE12 to extend the low-frequency performance of Footprint Series monitors. Selectable 60 Hz and 80 Hz BOOST filter settings provide additional low-frequency support and flexibility when integrating the LFE12 into different monitoring configurations.

DUAL-FORCE TECHNOLOGY: DUAL 12" SUBWOOFERS

At the core of the LFE12 is Barefoot Sound’s signature Dual-Force technology, utilizing two opposing 12-inch aluminum-cone woofers with powerful neodymium motor structures. The drivers operate together in phase to produce low-frequency energy, while their mechanical forces act in opposite directions. As each woofer moves outward, the other moves outward in the opposite direction, effectively cancelling much of the mechanical force that would otherwise be transferred to the enclosure. This force-cancelling design minimizes cabinet movement and unwanted vibration, creating a more stable platform for accurate low-frequency reproduction. The result is bass that extends deep with tremendous output while remaining tight, fast, and controlled. The power of two subwoofers. The footprint of one. Twice the low end. Twice the impact.

COMPATIBLE WITH THE FOOTPRINT SERIES

The LFE12 was designed specifically for professional recording studios and engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Barefoot Sound Footprint Series, including the Footprint01, Footprint02, Footprint03, and Footprint03C. More than simply adding low end, the LFE12 extends the performance of a Footprint monitoring system into true full-range territory while maintaining the accuracy, speed, and control required for critical listening. Its 1400 watts of amplification, low-frequency extension down to 17 Hz, and dedicated crossover and level controls provide the depth and headroom needed for confident recording, mixing, and mastering decisions. Designed for stereo, multichannel, and immersive studio environments, the LFE12 gives Footprint users a purpose-built, professional low-frequency monitoring solution engineered to work as part of the complete Barefoot Sound system.

LFE12 FOOTSWITCH - TOTAL LOW-FREQUENCY CONTROL AT YOUR FEET

Take control of your low end with the LFE12’s dual-switch foot controller. Independently engage or mute LFE MODE for dedicated low-frequency effects and BOOST MODE for extended bass response from your stereo monitors. Both modes can operate simultaneously, with selectable low-pass filters of 80 Hz or 120 Hz for LFE and 60 Hz or 80 Hz for BOOST. Perfect for stereo, surround, and immersive monitoring, the footswitch puts fast, hands-free control at your feet, making it easy to compare, fine-tune, and make confident mixing decisions without interrupting your workflow.
