Barefoot Sound
The US brand Barefoot Sound offers active monitoring speakers of and exceptional quality. The range consists of 3 to 4 way Mastering grade speakers suitable for tracking, mixing and mastering. These speakers are revolutionary since they are not based on the Bass Reflex technology, but sealed compartments for all drivers. 2 Sub-woofers placed back to back (except mm45) which suppress vibrations of the cabinet that influence other drivers by their vibrations (see our test video on Youtube). The other highlight is the patented "MEME" system, a simulation of 3 other types of speakers: NS10M, Auratone and Hi-Fi, but also an AES input 3.
The Barefoot range includes: the 3 way mm45 or MicroMain45, the famous 3 way mm35, the legendary 3.5 way mm27, the new MM27 4-way and the 4 way flagship of the brand: MiniMain12 or MM12.
Try this: lower the volume of your existing speakers. You lose the low and high frequencies? At high-volume, the top end become aggressive and the mids imprecise? The phenomenon is nonexistent with Barefoot, your mix stays even at all levels!
These speakers' render is exceptionally accurate, tight, punchy and clear low ends, accurate mids unaltered by the sub-woofer and high definition smooth top end frequencies. Their stereo and 3D image will surprise you with its width and depth as well as the sweet spot that will allow you to work comfortably.
Finally, the build quality exceeds all expectations with front / rear machined aluminum panels, aluminum Sub-woofers, the best amplifiers on the market: the Hypex and a cabinet with wave guides.
