Experience your music as never before with the Barefoot Sound Footprint03 studio monitors. As the latest addition to their esteemed Footprint series, these innovative three-way active monitors blend the exceptional audio quality Barefoot Sound is renowned for with groundbreaking new technologies in a remarkably compact design. Departing from their signature sealed cabinet, the Footprint03 embraces a fast-transient ported design that achieves jaw-dropping low-end extension and impact. With the Footprint03, Barefoot Sound pushes the envelope with pioneering innovations like SPOC, and an advanced DSP that optimize every frequency for breathtaking clarity and realism. Whether you produce electronic beats or cinematic scores, the Footprint03 studio monitors empower you to hear each subtle nuance as the artist intended.

Hear Bass That Hits Hard With the Ported Cabinet Design

As pioneers in sealed cabinet design, Barefoot Sound proves their versatility with the Footprint03's side-firing ported enclosure. This fast transient bass reflex system achieves remarkable low-end extension comparable to their acclaimed sealed models, and the ported design provides even greater impact and authority to bass lines and kick drums. The cabinet itself boasts Barefoot Sound's signature Footprint gray finish and robust MDF construction. Advanced assembly techniques banish cabinet resonance, you'll hear bass that's deep, defined and dynamic—not boomy or one-note.

Pristine Clarity With Advanced Tweeter, Midrange and Woofer

The 1" tweeter's neodymium magnet system and aluminum faceplate ensure smooth, extended highs. Its fabric dome diaphragm reproduces intricate harmonic details that other tweeters miss. The 3.5" midrange driver's aluminum cone provides extreme rigidity to prevent distortion, while its advanced motor system delivers higher output and lower compression. Even during demanding passages, the midrange stays clean and composed. The 6" woofer also incorporates a robust motor system and aluminum cone for tight, precise low frequencies. With each driver optimized, you'll hear a pristine stereo image with lifelike dynamics.

Superior Technologies Enhance Audio Fidelity

Barefoot Sound breaks new ground with SPOC, technology that achieves a stunning 15dB increase in signal-to-noise ratio compared to other monitors. This means you'll hear previously masked subtleties in your mixes. The Footprint03's DSP significantly reduces latency for greater transparency while optimizing frequency response. So every note comes through with breathtaking realism. The Barefoot Sound MEME technology helps you emulate mix cubes for that vintage vibe. Switch to white cone speakers to reference today's mixes and tap into consumer speakers to ensure your music translates. Together with the advanced driver components, these technologies let you experience music with awe-inspiring clarity and nuance.

With pioneering innovations in a deceptively compact form, the Barefoot Sound Footprint03 studio monitors empower you to mix with greater precision. Hear intricate details that other monitors miss as you sculpt balanced, impactful mixes. The Footprint03's reveal the full potential of your music.
