Barefoot Sound Footprint03C Center Channel – an active 3-way monitor specifically engineered as a center channel for seamless integration with the Barefoot Footprint FP-03. Designed for professional surround and immersive audio environments, the Footprint03C delivers unparalleled precision and tonal consistency, ensuring accurate mixing and playback. Built on the legacy of the tri-amplified Footprint FP-03, this monitor provides exceptional clarity and fidelity, making it ideal for multi-channel setups in compact studios or Dolby Atmos configurations.
The Footprint03C features a 1″ ring radiator tweeter, a 3.5″ aluminum cone midrange driver, and dual 6.5″ aluminum cone woofers, all housed in a sealed MDF cabinet to minimize distortion and ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions. Its tri-amplified design, powered by 260 watts of Class D amplification, delivers a wide frequency response (42 Hz–40 kHz) and a maximum continuous SPL of 104.5 dB, providing robust dynamics for critical mixing tasks.
Equipped with Barefoot’s innovative Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation™ (MEME™) technology, the Footprint03C allows engineers to switch between emulations of classic mix cubes, consumer hi-fi speakers, and other renowned monitors, ensuring mix translation across various playback systems. The integrated DSP optimizes low-frequency response, delivering deep, controlled bass and precise sound reproduction. Barefoot’s SPOC™ (Single Point of Conversion) technology enhances phase coherence and imaging for a highly detailed soundstage.
Compact yet powerful, the Footprint03C (20″ L x 7.25″ W x 9″ D) is designed for easy integration into multi-channel setups, particularly for Dolby Atmos or surround sound applications. Paired with the Footprint FP-03, it offers a cost-effective, high-performance solution for professional studios, delivering exceptional clarity and versatility in a space-saving form factor.
