Barefoot Sound Footprint02 Gen2 (pair)

The Footprint02 Gen2 continues the evolution of Barefoot Sound’s acclaimed monitor lineup, bringing flagship-level performance to a more compact and accessible form. Building on the success of the original Footprint02 — the mid-sized model in the series — the Gen2 pushes the boundaries even further with reengineered drivers, upgraded DSP, and refined cabinet acoustics. The result is exceptional accuracy, power, and sonic integrity tailor-made for smaller studios and immersive production spaces.

Like its larger sibling, the Footprint02 Gen2 features a fully tri-amplified 3-way system with dedicated Class D amplification for each driver. A powerful 1-inch dual-ring radiator tweeter, a precision 5-inch aluminum cone midrange, and dual 6.5-inch aluminum cone woofers with Barefoot’s proprietary Dual-Force Technology work in perfect harmony to deliver seamless crossover transitions, extended frequency response, and high output with ultra-low distortion. Each driver has been refined for improved linearity, deeper low-end reach, and greater midrange focus — making the Gen2 ideal for mixing, mastering, and immersive formats where space and accuracy are equally critical.

At the heart of the Gen2 lies Barefoot’s patented SPOC™ (SPectrally Optimized Conversion) Technology, which applies analog crossover filtering prior to digital conversion. This innovative approach preserves high-frequency detail, improves the signal-to-noise ratio, and enhances overall resolution. Combined with an all-new low-latency DSP engine, the Footprint02 Gen2 delivers pristine imaging, extended bass, and faithful real-world translation.

The cabinet design has also undergone meticulous refinement. With increased internal volume, optimized damping, and greater structural rigidity — all within a sealed MDF enclosure finished in Barefoot’s signature textured gray — the Gen2 achieves tight, controlled low-end performance without the phase artifacts often found in ported designs.

Adding to its versatility, the Footprint02 Gen2 incorporates Barefoot’s MEME™ (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) Technology, allowing users to instantly switch between multiple reference speaker profiles — from consumer systems to classic mix cubes — without leaving the sweet spot.

Whether you’re crafting a stereo mix or building a compact immersive setup, the Footprint02 Gen2 delivers true Barefoot performance in a space-efficient footprint. With its unmatched balance of power, precision, and size, it stands as the definitive middleweight monitor in the Footprint series — bringing next-level sound to any modern studio.
