This video explores the methodology and technology behind the making of the Footprint03.
The saga continues as Barefoot Sound introduces the latest edition of the highly acclaimed Footprint series. Say hello to the Footprint03 - this tri-amplified 3-way studio monitor maintains the exceptional audio quality and design characteristics of its predecessors, the Footprint01 and Footprint02, while also offering a more compact design and an affordable price.
Departing from the traditional sealed cabinet design, the Footprint03 embraces a fast transient ported speaker design, achieving remarkable low-end extension while upholding Barefoot’s renowned standards in cabinet construction. The cabinet’s Footprint Gray polyester coating, stress assembly techniques, and substantial weight contribute to stability and damping, combatting potential vibrations for an unparalleled listening experience.
Barefoot’s MEME™ Technology adds another layer of versatility, allowing seamless integration into various applications, making the Footprint03 a true powerhouse in studio monitoring in a small package Now shipping. #Footprint03 #BarefootSound
Ive got 2 pairs. What I love the most about them is that they have vibe and feel.
need these for browsing youtube
lol
I’m so stoked about these!!
Yes please! Such a great price too!
Heard these at NAMM. Blown away with the amount of low end these things push. Def the next ones on my list.
How’s the clarity and detail on high frequencies?
@@gpapa31 has all the top end extension. Even more with the MEME voicing box.
@@matthelms4865 thank you man. I recently sold my B&W HiFi speakers and I am looking for high end studio monitors that will allow me to play guitar (jam with plugins) but also sound sweet when I listen to High Resolution music (HiFi setup). I am pretty confident those speakers will deliver the former case, don’t know about the latter one.
Yes! These look so nice!
I will have these someday
Mine arrive tomorrow!!!!
oh shit can't wait to compare them to the 01's
AMAZING speakers!!!!!!
*What a SUB to match it????! Also, would switching through the speaker types also change a connected sub*
See you guys at NAMM!!
killer move on the FP03 BF!!!!
I really wish these had a sealed cabinet design like the footprint 1 and 2
Why???
@@joelthames1141 A cabinet is ported, to increase its low end output, but this increased low end output is not a controlled one as the port in a speaker acts as a Helmholtz resonator, which is it works the same way as how a whistle tone is created when you blow into an empty bottle at an angle. I hope you’ve seen or done it. If the speaker itself is producing that low end, then it’s directivity, and its ability to merge the sound of the 3 drivers into a single one to reproduce the whole frequency spectrum is much better. Ported speakers have a lesser controlled lower end, sealed cabinet designs have a better controlled lower end which make them more precise. The only downfall for a sealed cabinet is the cost to make the woofer itself to produce that lower lower end
It’s so fantastically designed. Great job ❤️❤️❤️
NICE!
Great video, Barefoot. Good to see the company evolve and stabilize.
And great to see Thomas AND team. I've been getting great support from Dan Peters on email - so it's nice to get a face on who I've been writing with.
So please continue to feature more of you crew, in future videos.

Nice!! I was waiting for a 3ways like this!! Can we place it verticaly?
You can, but shouldn't. It's better when the acoustic axis of the mid and tweeter is aligned above each other.
Can't wait to hear 03 vs iLouds 😏
Wanna try
yessssssssssssssssssssssssss!
What kind of stands are these on early in the video?
They are assembly platforms custom made for the Footprint03 build.
how would the footprint 02 an footprint 03 sound together...are they that much different
I wonder how they sound on HiFi mode compared to high end line ups from B&W, KEF, FOCAL etc.
Beautiful monitor
Will these be available in piano key white ??????
RIGHT when I’m about to go monitor shopping! Hmm.
Wait for the active Kali SM5... Or get a Genelec if you have the budget.
These aren't bad, but price to performance wise, or no expense spared, they wouldn't be on my top three list.
On second thought, maybe there is somethig to be said comsidering their bass extension and price, but man the 101dB max spl gives me pause.
@@stevenswallYou can NOT take SPL figures at face value. Wisen up on that.
Conpanies measure it differently. Some do RMS, some do peak. And regarding RMS it can be for very different time-durations.
@@Tazmanian_Ninja I assume the company is trying to show their speaker in the best light possible if it's not specified. Don't think anyone is going to get burned that way.
And, I take Genelec SPL measurements at face value for example, because they will you how it's measured and you can see a light come on after a few seconds: "Maximum short term sine wave acoustic output on axis in half space, averaged from 100 Hz to 3 kHz at 1 m"
or
"Maximum long term RMS acoustic output in the same conditions with IEC weighted noise (limited by driver protection circuit) at 1 m"
Would be nice if it were standardized or there was a database though. Erin's Audio Corner does some good tests to see when and how compression happens at a speakers operating limits.
They pretty, are they better than the kh310?
Will be an interesting comparison for sure. Also vs the HEDD MK20 (I think it's called)
surely. The kh 310s are outdated in 2024 as they still use the old silk fabric dome design for the midrange driver and tweeter. this results in a lot more total harmonic distortion in the mid range and especially the high end, All the other speaker companies like barefoot, focal, Adam audio and eve audio etc. have moved on from this design therefore making them better speakers in the technological sense while being the same priced too. is that makes the kh310 obsolete compared to the newer speaker designs from these companies
Sphère fond it in belgium ?
Price?
$1,995 USD (pair)
Pair 4,000

Affordable price for a 3-way and 3-amp speaker. I wish it was a closed/sealed design though.
Yes. Closed is preferred here, too. I don't think I'll ever buy a ported speaker again, tbh. I vastly vastly vastly prefer the sound of my MicroMain35, NS-10M, and various plugged speakers.
damn! barefoot in this price
I only wish they had updated the boring design a bit. Adams look so much stylish. But Barefoot for the sound.
Geez I wish you guys had a trade-in program.
Keep and love what you have, man 😎
