Barefoot’s Best Becomes More Affordable with the MicroMain45

For fans of Barefoot Sound, you’ll know the MiniMain12 as one of the most innovative monitors in the pro audio world. Offering accurate sounds that won’t compromise, the monitor is a perfect fit in any studio without a budget constraint. For Barefoot’s new Micromain45, the brand has stripped down its flagship monitor, while still offering the same quality sound as the original for a much smaller price tag.

The New Design of Barefoot MicroMain 45

As a 3-way active monitor, the Barefoot MicroMain45 utilizes the same amplifier, signal path and driver technology of the MiniMain12. Downsizing the hefty 130+ lbs size of the original to a tight 35+ lbs package, the MicroMain45 features an 8” aluminum woofer, two x 2.5” aluminum midranges and a 1” tweeter. With a bass response of -3dB @ 40Hz, frequency response of 40Hz – 45 kHz (±3dB) and 53Hz - 40kHz (±1dB), this is the sound that Barefoot enthusiasts have come to know and love.

The Barefoot Difference

Founded on the idea of creating a new type of audio monitor, Barefoot Sound was started by Thomas Barefoot to meet the growing needs of small to mid-sized project studios. By offering well-designed monitors that could take the space of several sets of speakers, audio enthusiasts are able to have more room for other types of gear, while still having an impeccable monitoring system. The new Barefoot Sound MM45 monitors follow in this lineage of incredible speakers like the MicroMain27, MicroSUB and MicroMain35.
