Barefoot Sound Footprint03 3-way Powered Studio Monitors - Pair

The saga continues as Barefoot Sound introduces the latest edition of the highly acclaimed Footprint series. Say hello to the Footprint03 – this tri-amplified 3-way studio monitor maintains the exceptional audio quality and design characteristics of its predecessors, the Footprint01 and Footprint02, all while offering a more compact design and an affordable price. Departing from the traditional sealed cabinet design, the Footprint03 embraces a fast transient ported speaker design, achieving remarkable low-end extension while upholding Barefoot’s renowned standards in cabinet construction. The cabinet’s Footprint Gray polyester coating, stress assembly techniques, and substantial weight contribute to stability and damping, combatting potential vibrations for an unparalleled listening experience.Delving into the heart of the Footprint03’s innovation, the speaker boasts a 1″ ring radiator tweeter, a 3.5″ midrange driver with an aluminum cone, and a forward-facing 6.5″ aluminum cone woofer, each meticulously designed to enhance audio fidelity. The incorporation of advanced magnet and motor systems, copper shorting rings, and an improved heat-sink system ensure minimal distortion, longer excursion capabilities, and reliable performance even during extended use. The introduction of SPOC™ (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) technology and a groundbreaking Digital Signal Processor (DSP) further elevate the audio experience, providing higher resolution, reduced latency, and optimized frequency response for audiophiles and professionals alike. Barefoot’s MEME™ Technology adds another layer of versatility, allowing seamless integration into various applications, making the Footprint03 a true powerhouse in studio monitoring in a small package.Technical SpecificationsDescription: Tri-amplified 3-way studio monitor with MEME TechnologyControls: Input level stepped attenuator, MEME voice selectAnalog InputXLR female: Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 positive, Pin 3 negativeTRS Male: Tip: Positive, Ring: Negative, Sleeve: GroundInput Impedance: 20k OhmsInput Sensitivity (1m): 90 dB @ -15 dBV (pass band)Analog to Digital ConversionWord Length: 28-bit (56-bit High Precision)Sample Rate: 96 kHzSignal/Noise: 100 dBFrequency Response: 45 Hz40 kHz ( /-3 dB), 50 Hz22 kHz ( /- 1 dB )Bass Response-3 dB: @ 46 HzQ: 0.707 Slope = 18 dB/octaveMAX SPL: Continuous 101 dBCabinetInternal volume: 10.5 liters totalBaffle plate: Solid aluminumDamping: Polyurethane acoustic damping throughoutCrossover Frequencies: 400 / 3900 Hz (Active crossover between drivers)DriversTweeter: 1 ring radiator, low distortion motor, rear waveguide chamber.
