Barefoot Footprint01 MEME Kit

Barefoot Footprint01 MEME Kit

The Barefoot Footprint01 MEME Kit includes a voice selector with one 3.5mm stereo cable. Barefoot MEME (Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation) technology allows you to box up your secondary reference monitors for good. Despite the numerous advantages of high-resolution monitors like the Footprint01, many engineers still rely on their NS10s and mix cubes as secondary references. These speakers have long traditions and people find them familiar and useful for focusing in on certain aspects of their mix.

MEME VOICES 

• FLAT: Optimal setting for accuracy, transparency and outstanding translation. Setting has a flat frequency response and extremely fast transient response. This is the default voice when the MEME Selector Switch is not connected to the speaker.
• HI-FI: While it does not emulate any one speaker in particular, this setting is indicative of “hi-fi” in the colloquial sense of the term. The midrange is a bit scooped and highs are a little accentuated. The bass response is altered to have less damping, yielding a hybrid character somewhere between the fast, tight, articulate sound of a sealed cabinet and the slower, fatter sound of a ported speaker. The result is a sweeter more forgiving sonic character.
• OLDSCL: This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient response of the NS10M.
• CUBE: This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient response of classic mix cubes.
