Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor Pair

Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor Pair

The Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-inch 3-way active studio monitor is the flagship of the Footprint® series and the most powerful monitor in Barefoot Sound's compact professional range, combining a 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter, a 5-inch aluminum cone midrange, and Dual-Force™ dual 8-inch aluminum woofers in a 710W tri-amplified sealed-cabinet design with patented SPOC™ technology, 3ms DSP, and MEME™ Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation — delivering bass extension to 36Hz and continuous SPLs of ≥113dB from a compact sealed monitor that brings genuine main monitor performance to any studio environment. As a result, engineers who previously needed a large main monitor or a separate subwoofer to achieve full-range low-end reference accuracy gain a flagship Footprint® monitor with dual 8-inch Dual-Force™ woofers producing 500W of Class-D power, extending linear, controlled bass response to 36Hz in a sealed enclosure that preserves the tight, accurate low-end performance that ported designs cannot achieve at high SPLs. The Dual-Force™ woofer system mounts two 8-inch aluminum cone drivers on opposing sides of the cabinet with their motor assemblies mechanically locked, cancelling the equal and opposite reaction forces that conventional single-woofer designs transmit to the cabinet as vibration and coloration — a problem that becomes most severe at the sub-bass frequencies where the Gen2's woofer excursion is greatest. In addition, a 150W 5-inch aluminum cone midrange handles the critical midrange band from 170Hz to 3,600Hz with exceptional detail, and the dual-ring radiator tweeter extends to 40kHz with reduced compression, while SPOC™ technology provides 28-bit/56-bit processing at 96kHz with ≥100dB SNR for transparency that no other monitor in this class delivers. OneStopMusic South Africa stocks the Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-inch 3-way active studio monitor pair for South African professional studios who demand the ultimate Footprint® reference monitor with dual 8-inch Dual-Force™ woofers and the complete Barefoot technology platform.

Dual 8-Inch Dual-Force™ Reference From the Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor

Whether you're mixing a major release in a treated studio, running a compact immersive Atmos system where every channel needs full-range reference capability, or simply demanding the absolute best performance a compact professional monitor can deliver, the Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-inch 3-way active studio monitor achieves it with 710W of tri-amplified power and a ±1dB measurement window from 39Hz to 30kHz. The 12.8-litre sealed cabinet with machined aluminum driver baffle and tensioned internal bracing provides a controlled acoustic environment for the Dual-Force™ woofer system, maintaining transient speed and bass accuracy at high output levels that ported enclosures cannot sustain. At 18.3kg each, the Footprint01 Gen2 is a substantial physical presence in any studio — a monitor that engineers feel as well as hear, with the stability and cabinet integrity that prevents resonant coloration from entering the listening chain. OneStopMusic South Africa recommends the Barefoot Sound Footprint01 Gen2 8-inch 3-way active studio monitor pair to South African professional studios, recording engineers, and mastering facilities who need the flagship Footprint® monitor's full-range capability, Dual-Force™ woofer precision, and complete Barefoot Sound technology platform.
