Introducing the MicroSub45. Featuring Barefoot Sound’s innovative Dual-Force™ technology, the MicroSub45 brings the MicroMain45 to new power and depths. The subwoofers boasts dual-opposing 8” subs in each of the two cabinets. The MicroMain45 has turned into a cult speaker that musicians love. A common request from users since the release of the MicroMain45 is for Barefoot Sound to build a companion subwoofer. So Barefoot has built a subwoofer as an off-the-menu item. But as demands have been overwhelming, it’s time to bring this product into the light.Introducing the MicroSub45 featuring Barefoot Sound’s innovative Dual-Force™ technology The MicroSub45 brings the MicroMain45 to new power and depths with a pair of dual-opposing 8” subs in each cabinet and Dual-Force™ Technology.The MicroMain45 is the only Barefoot that doesn’t feature Dual-Force™ Technology. But now there is a path for MicroMain45 users who want to take it to the next level. Or if you’re interested in a pair of MicroMain45s and want the option to upgrade down the road as your needs grow, this is the perfect solution!The MicroMain45s can be placed on top or below the MicroSub45, depending on your preference. The tilt feature allows the MM45 to be positioned down to the listening sweet spot and it is designed so that the stack is very sturdy and will not slip.The subwoofers is the MicroSub45s. When packaged with the MicroMain45s, it becomes the MicroStack45. The stack features six high excursion 8” drivers, all designed to work seamlessly together and as a single unit. Each MicroSub45 features analog crossovers which allows analog signal paths into the sub and also into the MicroMain45. It crosses over at 80hz and goes down to 25hz.Features:Comes in a pairDual 8” subs in each cabinetDual-Force™ Technology1000 Watts of PowerBass response down to 25HzBalanced analog High-Pass filterSpecifications:Crossover Frequency: 80 HzSubwoofers: Dual 8″ aluminum cone with high linearity motor, +/- 13 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 500W in each cabinetAC Power Input: 85 VAC to 265 VACPower Consumption: Idle: 5W, Maximum: 765WWeight: Speaker: 45 lbs each (20.5 kg)Shipping: 54.5 lbs each (25 kg)Dimensions HxWxD: Cabinet: 14.0 x 9.5 x 13.0 inches (356 x 241 x 330 mm)Overall: 14.0 x 10.25 x 13.6 inches (356 x 260 x 345 mm)
As a 3-way active monitor, the Barefoot MicroMain45 utilizes the same amplifier, signal path and driver technology of the MiniMain12. Downsizing the hefty 130+ lbs size of the original to a tight 35+ lbs package, the MicroMain45 features an 8” aluminum woofer, two x 2.5” aluminum midranges and a 1” tweeter. With a bass response of -3dB @ 40Hz, frequency response of 40Hz – 45 kHz (±3dB) and 53Hz – 40kHz (±1dB), this is the sound that Barefoot enthusiasts have come to know and love.Founded on the idea of creating a new type of audio monitor, Barefoot Sound was started by Thomas Barefoot to meet the growing needs of small to mid-sized project studios. By offering well-designed monitors that could take the space of several sets of speakers, audio enthusiasts are able to have more room for other types of gear, while still having an impeccable monitoring system. The Barefoot Sound MM45 monitors follow in this lineage of incredible speakers like the MicroMain27 and MicroMain35.MEME™ Technology: Despite the advantages of high resolution monitors, Thomas Barefoot realizes that many engineers still use their NS10M’s † and mix cubes as secondary references. These speakers have long traditions and people find them familiar and useful for focusing in on certain aspects of their mix. However, crowding one’s console with those extra boxes degrades the sound field of the primary reference monitors. Not to mention, they are no longer manufactured, they need amplifiers, cable runs, and they consume more studio space.The solution is to make the MM45 sound and translate like those speakers. With the turn of a knob one can switch from the MicroMain45′s brutally revealing “Flat” response to the warmer and sweeter “Hi-Fi” setting, generically emulating the sound of some high end consumer audio gear. More specifically the “Old School” setting closely emulates the sound of the NS10M nearfield, while the “Cube” setting emulates the mid-centric sound of classic mix cubes The idea is not to perfectly replicate every subtle quirk of these venerable old speakers.That would be impossible. But the MM45 can capture the essence of how they behave and translate, modeling their frequency, phase and transient responses, dynamic compression and even specific distortion components. If you know how to work on these speakers you will feel very comfortable working on the new MM45′s emulation settings.Specifications:Controls:: Input level stepped attenuator, Equalization contourInput Impedance:: 50k OhmFrequency Response:: 40Hz – 45kHz (±3dB),53Hz – 40kHz (±1dB)Bass Response:: -3 dB @ 35Hz, Q = 0.707Slope = 12 dB/octaveCabinet:: 14 liters total internal volume, Sealed woofer and midrange enclosures, Machined aluminum baffle plate, Long fiber wool acoustic damping throughoutCrossover Frequencies:: 600 / 3600 HzTweeter:: 1″ ring radiator, Advanced geometry motor, Rear waveguide chamberAmplifier: 180W HypexMidranges:: 2 x 2.5″ aluminum cones, Advanced geometry motor, +/- 2 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 180W HypexSubwoofers:: 8″ aluminum cone with high linearity motor, +/- 13 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 250W HypexAC Power Input:: Nominal 115 VAC or 230 VAC selectablePower Consumption:: Idle: 18W, Maximum: 400WWeight:: Speaker: 37.5 lbs each (17 kg)Shipping: 47 lbs each (21 kg)Dimensions HxWxD:: Cabinet: 11.0 x 15.5 x 10.75 inches (279 x 394 x 273 mm)Overall: 11.0 x 15.5 x 11.0 inches (279 x 394 x 279 mm)
Barefoot Sound is proud to introduce the revolutionary new MiniMain12, possibly the most accurate, revealing and technologically advanced recording monitor ever made. This is a bold statement, but the MiniMain12 is an incredibly bold speaker. With vanishing low distortion, breathtakingly wide dynamic range, ultra-fast transient response plus our amazing MEME™(Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation™) technology. The MiniMain12 is a 4-way active system with 7 drive units housed in sealed enclosures spanning 20Hz to 40kHz with vanishingly low distortion, breathtaking dynamic range and ultra-fast transient response.Every driver has an under-hung voice coil moving inside an advanced geometry motor that enables it make extremely long linear excursions. The ring radiator tweeter is incredibly detailed and produces very wide dispersion out to its highest frequencies. The aluminum cone subwoofers, woofers and midranges radiate as perfect pistons to at least 2.5 octaves beyond their respective bandwidths.Barefoot has teamed up with the brilliant Bruno Putzeys of Hypex to develop the powerful and completely transparent amplifier stage of the MM12. Melding the system together is a groundbreaking DSP crossover that has taken Thomas Barefoot more than 4 years to develop. With beautifully designed high end converts and cutting edge proprietary filtering techniques the MiniMain12 produces such a seamless and coherent wavefront that, if you dare, you can actually listen to this speaker from less than 3 feet away with no sonic compromise. And yes, the MM12 works perfectly out to far field distances as well, producing SPLs equivalent to big mains. If all this weren’t enough, the MiniMain12 brings yet another revolutionary feature into the mix – MEME™(Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation™) technology. While no other monitor in the world can match the MM12’s linearity and transparency, the MM12 actually has the capability to emulate other speakers!

Barefoot Sound is proud to introduce the revolutionary new MiniMain12, possibly the most accurate, revealing and technologically advanced recording monitor ever made. This is a bold statement, but the MiniMain12 is an incredibly bold speaker. With vanishing low distortion, breathtakingly wide dynamic range, ultra-fast transient response plus our amazing MEME™(Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation™) technology. The MiniMain12 is a 4-way active system with 7 Over a decade ago, Thomas Barefoot applied his expertise and experience as an engineer, scientist and inventor in the computer industry to his lifelong passion for music. Approaching the pro audio industry with a fresh pair of eyes, he concluded that every project would benefit from using monitors with the same sound quality, dynamic range and bass extension at each stage of the production process. The innovative reference monitor designs that Thomas subsequently developed not only deliver the same performance and quality from recording through mastering, they also turned the studio monitor speaker business on its head, outperforming many well-established high-end products.The MasterStack12 represents the pinnacle of Thomas’ achievements in monitor speaker design to-date. Barefoot’s flagship reference monitor system is a 4.5-way active modular tower with 10 drive units — a 1-in. ring radiator tweeter, two 2.5-in. mid-range, three 7-in. woofers and four 12-in. subwoofers — housed in two cabinets. A third enclosure houses signal and power distribution and may be optionally used as a decoupling base unit for each tower.What is a 4.5-way system?In a typical 4-way system, subwoofers, woofers, mid-range drivers and tweeters all operate within discrete frequency bands, transitioning from one to the next at the frequencies set in the crossover networks. In the MasterStack12 system, all three woofers work together in the lower frequencies of the band, down to the frequency at which the subwoofers take over. But only two woofers extend up to the mid-range band crossover point. Having three woofers working together in the lower portion of the band offers lower distortion through greater efficiency. At higher frequencies, where the signal becomes increasingly more directional, there is a smooth transition to the wider dispersion pattern created by just two woofers.Four speakers in oneLike all Barefoot monitors, the MasterStack12 features revolutionary MEME™ (Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation™) technology, which harnesses sophisticated DSP modeling to mimic the frequency, phase, transient response, dynamic compression and distortion characteristics of various classic nearfield studio monitors. Many people still like to reference their work on old, familiar monitors to check how their mixes will translate or to focus on a specific aspect. But with Barefoot monitors you can put those other reference speakers into storage and free up some space on the console, because one set of MasterStack12 monitors can take the place of three alternate pairs.Using a wired remote you can switch your Barefoot monitors through four different voices and preview your mix as it would sound through three alternate reference speakers, all without moving from the optimum stereo listening position. “Old School” rolls off the extreme highs and lows and brings the mid-range presence forward, capturing the essence of the NS10M. “Cube” is an homage to the classic full-range micro-monitor and is a useful reference setting for any mix that you expect to be played on earbuds through a laptop or handheld device. “HiFi” behaves like a home audiophile speaker, warming up the mid-range and sweetening the highs, for client playback or just listening in the control room. “Flat” selects the true, revealing Barefoot sound.Specifications:Controls: Analog/AES3 input select, AES3 L/R channels select, Input level stepped attenuator, Subwoofer level, Emulation voice selectInput Impedance: 25k OhmFrequency Response: 18Hz – 50kHz (±3dB)26Hz – 40kHz (±1dB)Bass Response: -3 dB @ 18Hz, Q = 0.707Slope = 12 dB/octaveCabinet: 180 liters total internal volume, Sealed sub enclosures, Sealed woofer enclosures, Sealed woofer enclosure, Machined aluminum baffle plate, Aluminum subwoofer frames function as lateral cabinet bracing, Long fiber wool acoustic damping throughout.Crossover Frequencies: 80 / 200 / 800 / 4000 HzTweeter: 1″ ring radiator, Advanced geometry motor, Rear waveguide chamberAmplifier: 250W HypexMidranges: 2 x 2.5″ aluminum cones, Advanced geometry motor, +/- 2 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 250W HypexWoofers: 3 x 7″ aluminum cones, Advanced geometry motor, +/- 13 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 500W HypexSubwoofers: 4 x 12″ aluminum cones, Advanced geometry motor, +/- 25 mm linear excursionAmplifier: 2400W HypexAC Power Input: Nominal 115 VAC or 230 VAC selectablePower Consumption: Idle: 100W, Maximum: 1800WWeight: Weight: 280 lbs per tower (127 kg) – no handlesShipping: 325 lbs per tower (147 kg) – no handlesDimensions HxWxD: Cabinet: 63.0 x 14.4 x 21.9 inches (1600 x 366 x 556 mm)Footprint WxD: 23.0 x 21.5 (584 x 546 mm)
