When Barefoot Sound was founded in the early 2000's as the recording industry is shifting in a radical way. Project studios are popping up all over the world, filled with outstanding gear, yet with limited space and budgets. Thomas Barefoot recognized the need for a new type studio monitor, one that functions as an everyday workhorse, translating effortlessly and never needing to be second guessed, but has the power and authority of a main monitor and clarity and depth of mastering speaker. Why couldn't one monitor do it all and still fit in space of a nearfield?

Well, Thomas decided it could. And it's really only been over the past few years that all of the technological stars have aligned to make Barefoot's speaker designs even feasible. Compact, high power amplifiers with uncompromising performance; drivers with huge power capacity that stay linear over extreamly wide excursions; ingeniously integrated into a solid compact enclosure: it all adds up to the most powerful, efficient technology on the market today.

Our speakers behave and translate a lot like a near-field monitor, only much more controlled and with far more extended bass response.

When it comes to our MicroMain27's, the magic begins with the dual 10" subwoofers. The two subs are housed in compact sealed enclosures to yield highly stable low frequency control and outstanding impulse response. Locking the sub motor structures together allows opposing forces to cancel each other out, keeping the cabinet rock steady even at very high output levels. Such a capable, integrated subwoofer design relieves the mid-bass drivers of their low frequency duties, which in turn dramatically cleans up the upper bass and midrange.

All of our current and upcoming speaker designs make use of similar manifestations of this new class of studio monitor technology. We continue to strive to build new and innovative solutions for an ever evolving studio market. What's more, we insist on keeping our prices as low as possible, making our products even more groundbreaking.
