Barefoot Sound MicroMain 27 Gen2

3.5-way active monitor with MEME™ Technology

The Barefoot Sound MicroMain 27 Gen2 takes Barefoot’s all-in-one monitoring concept to new heights.  Unwilling to rest on his laurels, Thomas Barefoot has spent years further refining one of the most revered recording studio monitors in the world.  These refinements preserve the effortless translation Barefoot Sound is known for, but are an evolution, yielding even greater transparency and inner detail.

The Barefoot Sound MicroMain 27 Gen2 retains the same compact form factor with integrated dual 10” force-cancelling subwoofers as its predecessor, but is updated with technology developed in the flagship MiniMain12.  New additions include, ultra-high-quality converters, 1” ring-radiator tweeter, 5.25” extended-range neodymium motor mid-bass drivers, Hypex amplification, AES digital inputs, 1dB stepped attenuator and advanced DSP integration.

Speaker Emulation Technology
The Barefoot Sound MicroMain 27 Gen2 also adds Speaker Emulation Technology to its list of features.  Barefoot has gone to great lengths to utilize DSP processing to model the voicing characteristics and responses of classic studio nearfield monitors.  A four-position wired remote allows users to quickly switch through different voices to preview mixes on other types of speakers without having the clutter of multiple speaker systems.
Hi-Fi sweetens the high end and warms mid-range to behave much like consumer hi-fi systems.
Flat is the default voicing, offering the true Barefoot Sound.  The response is even and very revealing.
OldScl captures the essence of the ubiquitous NS10M.  The setting rolls off sub-bass and top-end information while pulling forward mid-range presence.
Cube is a nod to the “aura” of the classic full-range micro monitors of yesterday.  This is a valuable setting in the age of laptops, tablets and ear buds.
