Description
Designed to complement the Footprint03 right and left channel monitors, delivering unmatched precision essential for accurate mixes in surround sound and immersive environments, the Barefoot Sound Footprint03C is a single active 3-way studio monitor speakers that features vanishingly low distortion, breathtaking dynamic range, and an incredibly fast transient response. A center-channel studio monitor is indispensable for accurate dialogue and vocal reproduction, precise spatial imaging, and ensuring mixes translate seamlessly across playback systems. It anchors the sound image, enabling engineers to balance critical elements like vocals, lead instruments, and central audio content with clarity and consistency in both film and music projects.The Footprint03C's 260W amplifier delivers 100W to the two 6.5" woofers, 100W to the 3.5" midrange, and 60W to the 1" radial ring tweeter which combine for a 42 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response at 104.5 dB SPL. Footprint03C 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 also 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-way center channel260W of power per monitorFrequency Response: 42 Hz to 40 kHzMAX Peak SPL: 104.5 dB SPL at 1mSealed speaker design6.5 aluminum-cone woofers3.5 aluminum-cone midrange1 ring radiator tweeterMEME technology voice emulationSPOC technologyDesign CabinetThe Footprint03C features a sealed box design, allowing for a compact and shallow cabinet perfect for center-channel applications. It boasts the iconic Footprint Gray polyester coating with its signature textured finish and is expertly crafted from medium-density fiberboard. Utilizing stress assembly techniques to maximize stability and damping, these cabinets uphold the exceptional standards synonymous with all Barefoot Sound monitors.MountingAchieving the optimal multichannel studio setup is effortless with Footprint03C and 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 Footprint03C features a 1 ring radiator tweeter, sharing its design with the Footprint03 and delivering dynamic audio performance through its powerful magnet system, extended excursion, and minimized compression. An advanced heat-sink system ensures consistent peak performance, while copper shorting rings eliminate distortion for pristine sound reproduction. Built from high-quality fabric and housed in a robust aluminum enclosure with a solid aluminum face plug, the tweeter offers superior rigidity and resonance control. Incorporating Neodymium technology, it delivers precision, clarity, and fidelity, maintaining its reputation for excellence in professional audio environments.MidrangeThe Footprint03C 3.5 midrange driver utilizes an aluminum cone, further contributing to the driver s rigidity and resonance control, thus enhancing the overall audio fidelity. The inclusion of a larger, high-sensitivity power motor and extra copper shorting rings around the voice coil effectively minimizes harmonic distortion, resulting in pristine and accurate sound reproduction. The driver s advanced magnet and motor system, combined with its longer excursion capability, enable it to achieve higher volumes while maintaining minimal compression. Moreover, an improved heat-sink system ensures reliable performance even during prolonged use.Dual WoofersThe Footprint03C forward-facing 6.5 alumin
