Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 3-Way Active Studio Monitor

The Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 delivers flagship-level monitoring performance in a compact, studio-friendly form factor. Designed for professional mixing, mastering, and immersive workflows where space efficiency matters, the Footprint02 Gen2 combines Barefoot’s core analog and DSP technologies with reengineered drivers and refined cabinet acoustics to provide exceptional accuracy, power, and translation.

Compact Power with No Compromises

The Footprint02 Gen2 is a fully tri-amplified, 3-way active monitor driven by 410 watts of Class D amplification per speaker. Dual opposing 6.5-inch aluminum woofers, a precision 5-inch aluminum midrange, and a 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter work together to deliver seamless crossover integration, deep controlled bass, and detailed high-frequency reproduction with extremely low distortion.

• Tri-amplified 3-way active monitor design.
• 410 watts of total power per monitor.
• Frequency response from 38 Hz to 40 kHz.
• Maximum SPL of at least 111 dB.

Dual-Force Low-Frequency Control

At the heart of the Footprint02 Gen2’s low end are Barefoot’s Dual-Force woofers, mounted in a force-canceling configuration to eliminate cabinet vibration and improve rigidity. This design produces tight, accurate bass extension down to 38 Hz without the phase artifacts and port noise commonly associated with ported enclosures, making the Footprint02 Gen2 ideal for critical low-end decisions.

SPOC Conversion and Low-Latency DSP

Barefoot’s Spectrally Optimized Conversion technology places analog filtering before digital conversion, improving signal-to-noise performance and preserving high-frequency detail. Combined with a low-latency DSP engine, the Footprint02 Gen2 delivers precise imaging, extended bass response, and consistent real-world translation across monitoring environments.

MEME Voice Emulation

Built-in MEME voice emulation allows instant switching between multiple monitoring references, including flat studio response, hi-fi playback, classic mix cubes, and iconic white-cone studio monitors. These voicings are designed to reflect the real behavior of reference speakers, helping mixes translate reliably without changing listening position.

• Flat mode for critical mix decisions.
• Hi-fi mode for creative listening.
• Classic mix cube and white-cone emulations.

Refined Sealed Cabinet Design

The sealed MDF enclosure features increased internal volume, optimized damping, and a stress-assembled structure for improved rigidity and transient response. The result is clean, controlled low-end performance and excellent time-domain accuracy, finished in Barefoot’s durable textured gray coating for long-term studio use.

Professional Integration and Mounting

The Footprint02 Gen2 integrates easily into stereo or immersive systems and is compatible with premium mounting solutions from Triad-Orbit and König & Meyer. This makes it well suited for Atmos rooms, compact control rooms, and high-performance nearfield or midfield monitoring setups.
