The Footprint03's 260W amplifier delivers 100W to the single 6.5" woofer, 100W to the 3.5" midrange, and 60W to the 1" radial ring tweeter, for a 45 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response at 105 dB SPL.Footprint03 utilizes SPOC (SPectrally Optimized Conversion) technology and a groundbreaking digital signal processor that further elevates the audio experience, providing higher resolution, reduced latency, and optimized frequency response for audiophiles and professionals alike. The speaker includes MEME technology, which emulates different speaker sets, allowing you to remove your secondary and tertiary monitor, freeing up space, cabling, and power.At a Glance Tri-amplified 3-way260W of power per monitorFrequency Response: 45 Hz to 40 kHzMax Peak SPL: 105 dB SPL at 1mPorted speaker design6.5 aluminum cone woofer3.5 aluminum cone midrange1 ring radiator tweeterMEME technology voice emulationSPOC technologyDesign The goal at Barefoot Sound has always been to push the design limits of what is possible in a compact studio monitor. The Footprint03 is no exception; Barefoot is proud to introduce many new innovations in this model.PortedBarefoot Sound, known for its sealed cabinets, proves its versatility with the introduction of a side-firing ported speaker design. Embracing this fast transient bass reflex system, they achieve remarkable low-end extension while maintaining Barefoot s renowned standards in cabinet construction, comparable to their other acclaimed sealed cabinet designs.CabinetThe cabinet boasts the well-known Footprint Gray polyester coating with its signature textured finish and is meticulously constructed using Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF). Employing stress assembly techniques to enhance stability and damping, these cabinets are in line with the exceptional standards of all other Barefoot monitors. Their substantial weight further aids in combating any potential cabinet vibrations.MountingAchieving the optimal multichannel studio setup is effortless with Footprint03 monitors, thanks to their seamless integration with premium mounting solutions from Triad-Orbit or K nig & Meyer. These monitors, ideal for compact Atmos mixing rooms, provide unparalleled audio precision and quality, enhancing the acoustic experience in smaller studios while ensuring easy and versatile installation.Drivers and Amps TweeterThe new 1 ring radiator tweeter design boasts a more powerful magnet and motor system, resulting in longer excursion capabilities, increased volume output, and reduced compression for a truly dynamic and captivating audio performance. To ensure consistent peak performance, an improved heat-sink system has been integrated, effectively regulating operating temperatures during extended use. Additionally, the addition of extra copper shorting rings around the voice coil serves to eliminate distortion, delivering a pristine and accurate sound reproduction. The tweeter s diaphragm is crafted from a high-quality fabric ring radiator material, while its housing adopts a sturdy aluminum enclosure and a solid aluminum face plug for superior rigidity and resonance control. Further enhancing its capabilities, the new tweeter incorporates Neodymium technology, culminating in a harmonious blend of precision, clarity, and unparalleled fidelity in high-frequency sound reproduction.MidrangeThe Footprint03 3.5 midrange driver utilizes an aluminum cone, further contributing to the driver s rigidity and resonance control, thus enhancing the overall audio fidelity.
