Shout out to krystle for always being the best studio pal. She is pushing the buttons in this video. 😍

For the best sound experience, make sure you set up with the subs towards the inside

Thank you for this. I’ve had my eye on these, but I have not seen many videos out yet, so it’s hard to make a decision since they are speakers. This was helpful brother. Thank you so much for an awesome video. Much love blessings to you.

Thank you for watching. You will not regret the decision.

Glad to see you did a reveiw.I've had a pair of these in my small home studio since NAMM weekend.I wanted the 02's,but they were too much monitor for my space.These are Perfect.I'm also using the MEME box.Was using 3 sets of monitors.2 pair are on Ebay right now.I have these on Ultimate support stands,with Isoacoustics stands on those.They hang in mid-air,right at my ear height like that.Unplugged my Sub.Going to hold onto it for a while though.Had my home studio over 20yrs.I've owned a lot of mid-priced monitors..Listening to Rushs,Tom Sawyer and Red Barchetta.Neil Pearts drums are hanging on the ceiling between the monitors.Only had 1 set of monitors that would do that.I had those for the last 10 years.03's are replacing those..Always had 2 ways.I've been looking for a pair of 3 ways for over a year.Always More that I wanted to pay.The price and sound on these is a Win-Win. Best Regards..

Great review! Also, are those your Ocean Way's? Would love to get a review on those too!

This is a dope video. Interesting set up with the monitors though... Just a quick observation .. does barefoot recommend having the subs outward? Most of the time the woofer is generally oriented outward with the tweeters inward. Lastly i see you have the Reftones. Is there anything that drove you towards those rather than a mix cube or Auratones? Dope song by the way 🔥🔥👍🏿

I’m so close to pulling the trigger on these. Currently have the HR824 MK2’s & have reached my ceiling with them. think these would raise that ceiling for me

@Lapography

These would really be a big step up from the HR824 MKII. Your mixes would translate a lot better.

Are they good choice for techno/house music? I'm a bit woried of bass response which goes only to 45Hz...

I’m wondering how would these compete against the Adam audio a8h

Why a 6.5 woofer size? Would love an 8in consumer priced version.

Song is fire dude!

how would you compare them to ocean ways or focals which you have??

Thanks for your video. I have the KH120s and my mixes translate well, but they aren’t very musical in my opinion; they sound more clinical. Would you say these are musical (compared to Neumanns)? I heard you say they are transparent & translate well.

@Lapography

KH 80s are great. I use them as well in my living room setup. The barefoot will be your mains as it has more bass and clear mids. You might not even need the KH80s because of the MEME technology on the barefoots

@Oelersen123

@@Lapography thank you so much! Sounds great. I love my little KH 80s. The idea is Neumann for surgical mixing and mastering and Footprint 03 for producing with more bass and headroom. Two opinions and with Meme on top, five different soundcolours. 😊 In conclusion, do you think Neumann and Barefoot harmonized together and participate each other?

Can't wait to hear 03 vs iLouds

Hello, thank you very much for this test, I am waiting for the unit to be tested and I will decide whether I will keep one or take one of the FP02 models. I have 2 questions, it seemed to me that the ports should be facing outside? On your test, they are quite close, pointing inwards and towards each other. When you point them outwards, can you hear a noticeable difference ? And the second thing is that you turned on Flat very quickly and it was only Cube and Oldschool, there was no Hi-fi mode at all. I was wondering whether in this mode the smaller ones would not give the bass that they may lack due to their size compared to the FP02. In your opinion, they lack some of the bottom end or is there enough of it ?

@Lapography

6 ай бұрын

Barefoot designed the ports to be facing inwards. The monitors were labeled left and right when unpacking from the box. The bass is very tight and punchy. If you like a lot of bass a sub might be needed. The Hifi mode to me sounds like the flat mode but with a gentle smiley face eq that sounds pleasant. For any mix I believe the flat response is the best. I will try them with the ports facing the other way.

@michakaszkowiak1804

Thank you very much for your answer, in every video I have seen so far with Barefoot and on the NAMM Show they were positioned with the port facing out, so I was convinced that this was correct. You can definitely hear that they sound like Barefoot even in your video, which makes me feel positive about them, I can't wait to hear them in my studio. All the best, best regards 👍

@@michakaszkowiak1804 Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it with the ports facing out. It made no difference. My room is also well treated so the results might vary depending on the room.

DO you think the Kh120ii with the FootPrint03 would be a nice combo? I thought about getting a more "fun" Speaker for producing,listening to music and in sessions since the kh120 are very flat and clinical. But I also wanted to get some type of reference speaker. Do you think i will get both with the FootPrint03?

@Lapography

Great Question. I had KH80 and FP03 side by side and found it to be redundant. Honestly the FP03 is all you need. The MEME technology allows you to switch between 4 types of speakers. I moved the KH80 to my office space now and mainly use FP03 in my studio. Only way to find out is to get a pair and test them out in your room. If you room is decently treated the FP03 will sound amazing in there. Good luck

No Subs needed unless you like excessive bass. It also depends on the room you have them in. The Monitors have preset built-in crossover points for the MEMO technology but not to be applied to Low Frequency Applications

It has come to our attention that a small number of Footprint03s from the first production run have exhibited a higher than normal noise floor. Not every unit is affected but, the ones that could potentially have the issue fall within these serial number ranges: FP3000005 to 0078 - FP30000153 to 0236 After learning of the first instance, we immediately tracked down the root cause and implemented changes that ensure all units moving forward won't present the problem. Barefoot is offering this modification to anyone who has the issue at no additional cost, including all free shipping.
