Description
The Barefoot Sound MicroMain26 is a 4-way active studio monitor with six drive units housed in sealed enclosures, covering 30 Hz to 45 kHz (±3 dB). Each speaker combines a 1-inch ring radiator tweeter, a 2.5-inch aluminum-cone midrange in a 3D-printed waveguide enclosure, two 5.25-inch poly/paper midbass drivers, and two opposing 10-inch Dual-Force subwoofers driven by Hypex amplifier modules with DSP crossovers. Its MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) technology switches between four voicings — Flat, Hi-Fi, Old School (NS10M emulation), and Cube (mix-cube emulation). It accepts balanced analog XLR input (converted internally at 24-bit/192 kHz) and AES3 digital XLR input, and is designed for nearfield or mid-field use with a minimum listening distance of 1 meter. This listing is for a pair in new condition.
