BAREFOOT MICROMAIN 27

Includes sound anchor stand.

Upon its introduction, the MicroMain27 captivated the professional recording world. It was the speaker that put Barefoot Sound on the map, truly defining our identity. Initially, its radical design with subwoofers on the sides seemed unusual, but it proved fundamental. With woofers, subs, and a tweeter in a fairly compact box, it accurately translates sound. All the additional drivers are there simply to bolster, buttress, and amplify that core design. This monitor has received major fanfare and is used by some of the biggest artists and studios worldwide.

The MicroMain27 is a 3.5-way active system with 5 drive units housed in sealed enclosures spanning 30Hz to 45kHz, boasting vanishingly low distortion, breathtaking dynamic range, and incredibly fast transient response. Featuring opposing 10″ Dual-Force™ Technology subwoofers, the renowned MicroMain27 boasts advanced electronics and drivers, granting it even greater dimension and transparency across the entire audio spectrum. The 5.25″ midbass features an array of advanced technology, yielding midrange detail rivaling any driver on the planet. The 1″ ring radiator tweeter delivers incredible detail and wide dispersion out to its highest frequencies. Barefoot Sound developed a powerful and completely transparent amplifier stage for the MicroMain27. The system is melded together with a groundbreaking DSP (Digital Signal Processor) crossover that Barefoot has dedicated thousands of hours to developing. With beautifully designed high-end converters and cutting-edge proprietary filtering techniques, the MicroMain27 soundstage is seamlessly coherent and deeply revealing.
