The Barefoot Sound MicroMain27 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.

Barefoot Sound is proud to introduce the second generation MM27. Now featuring our amazing Speaker Emulation technology, the MicroMain27 Gen2 precisely models the essential response and translation characteristics of other classic studio monitors, simply with turn of a knob. If this weren't enough, the renowned MM27 is augmented with advanced new electronics and drivers giving it even greater dimension and transparency across the entire audio spectrum.

Speaker Emulation Technology

The MM27 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.
