Barefoot Footprint01 Gen2 3-Way 8-Inch Active Studio Monitors - Pair

Experience Next-Generation Precision with the Barefoot Footprint01 Gen2 3-Way 8-Inch Active Studio Monitors

The Barefoot Sound Footprint 01 Gen2 is a complete reinvention of one of the brand’s most acclaimed monitors, redesigned from the ground up to deliver even greater precision, power, and transparency. While the original Footprint 01 set a high standard for compact professional monitors, the Gen2 surpasses it in every meaningful way, both technically and sonically.

• Fully redesigned second-generation Footprint monitor for enhanced precision and transparency
• Tri-amplified Class D architecture with dedicated amps for tweeter, midrange, and woofers
• Newly developed 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter and 5-inch aluminum midrange driver
• Dual 8-inch aluminum woofers using Barefoot Dual-Force™ Technology for vibration cancellation and cleaner bass
• Advanced DSP engine featuring SPOC™ analog-filtered conversion for higher resolution and reduced latency
• Acoustically optimized sealed cabinet with increased internal volume and enhanced damping
• MEME™ (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) modes for instant translation between multiple reference voicings
• Frequency response from 36 Hz to 40 kHz with crossover points at 170 Hz and 3600 Hz
• Perfect for stereo, surround, and immersive production environments

This next-generation model introduces a fully tri-amplified three-way architecture, providing dedicated Class D amplification for each driver to ensure optimal performance, headroom, and efficiency across the frequency spectrum. Newly developed Barefoot drivers—featuring a 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter, a 5-inch aluminum-cone midrange, and dual 8-inch aluminum-cone woofers using the proprietary Dual-Force™ coupling system—deliver tighter imaging, reduced distortion, and an even more revealing soundstage.

Powered by Barefoot’s advanced DSP platform with SPOC™ (Spectrally Optimized Conversion) technology, the Gen2 achieves higher resolution, improved clarity, and ultra-low latency by applying analog crossover filtering before digital conversion. Combined with a newly refined cabinet design featuring increased internal volume, optimized bracing, and enhanced damping, the Footprint 01 Gen2 brings flagship-level performance to a wider range of studios and creators.

Whether mixing in stereo or building a 7.1.4 immersive environment, the Footprint 01 Gen2 delivers elite performance in a footprint sized perfectly for today’s production spaces—uniting next-generation engineering, real-world versatility, and Barefoot’s legendary sonic signature.
