Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor Pair

Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor Pair

The Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-inch 3-way active studio monitor is a completely re-engineered flagship nearfield and midfield reference monitor combining a 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter, a 5-inch aluminum cone midrange, and Barefoot's proprietary Dual-Force™ dual 6.5-inch aluminum woofer system in a 410W tri-amplified sealed-cabinet design with patented SPOC™ technology, 3ms DSP, and MEME™ Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation — extending reference-grade performance to 38Hz in a compact sealed enclosure. As a result, engineers and producers who need more power, lower bass extension, and greater headroom than the Footprint03 provides gain a monitor that stands as the second most powerful in the Footprint® series, with 410W per monitor, a ≥111dB continuous SPL rating, and the Dual-Force™ woofer technology that physically cancels cabinet vibrations at the source by mounting opposing drivers with mechanically locked motors. The 5-inch aluminum cone midrange — larger than the 3.5-inch midrange driver in the Footprint03 — covers the critical frequency band from 180Hz to 3,700Hz with exceptional detail and low distortion, while the 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter's advanced motor system and neodymium technology extend high-frequency reproduction to 40kHz with reduced compression and improved dispersion over the Footprint03's single-ring radiator. In addition, SPOC™ patented pre-conversion analog filtering delivers the same 5-bit resolution improvement and 15dB SNR advantage as the Footprint03, and MEME™ technology provides switchable mix cube, white-cone, and hi-fi monitor voicing emulations for comprehensive reference monitoring from a single pair. The sealed 9.4-litre MDF cabinet with machined aluminum driver baffle and tensioned bracing maintains the tight, controlled low-end performance Barefoot sealed enclosures are known for, while weighing 15.8kg each for stable desk or stand placement. OneStopMusic South Africa stocks the Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-inch 3-way active studio monitor pair for South African professional studios who need more power and bass extension than a compact nearfield delivers, without stepping up to a full main monitor.

Dual-Force™ Power and SPOC™ Precision From the Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-Inch 3-Way Active Studio Monitor

Whether you're mixing in a medium-sized treated room, tracking vocals with critical monitoring, or building a compact Dolby Atmos setup where the satellites need genuine sub-40Hz extension, the Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-inch 3-way active studio monitor delivers reference-grade accuracy and output that nearfield monitors simply cannot match. The Dual-Force™ woofer architecture positions two 6.5-inch aluminum drivers on opposing sides of the cabinet with their motor assemblies physically locked together, so the equal and opposite reaction forces cancel one another before they can excite the cabinet — eliminating the primary mechanism of cabinet-induced coloration and distortion at low frequencies. Combined with SPOC™'s pre-conversion analog crossover stage delivering 28-bit/56-bit precision at 96kHz, the Footprint02 Gen2 achieves a ±1dB window from 42Hz to 30kHz — an extraordinary result from a sealed monitor in this size class. OneStopMusic South Africa recommends the Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 6.5-inch 3-way active studio monitor pair to South African mixing engineers, mastering engineers, and post-production professionals who need the Barefoot Sound reference platform with the additional power, extension, and headroom of the Dual-Force™ woofer system.
