3.5-way active studio monitor with integrated subwoofers, DSP voice emulation, analog and AES3 digital inputs. 1 ”tweeter, 5” Midbass, 5 ”Midbass 2, 2 pcs 10” subwoofer.
MicroMain27 Gen 2 takes Barefoot's all-in-one monitor concept to new heights. Thomas Barefoot has not rested on his laurels, but has spent the last few years further improving and refining one of the world's best studio monitors.
The new MicroMain27 Gen2 has the same external shape as its predecessor, but has been updated with technology originally developed in the top model MiniMain 12. Among the news are high-quality converters, 1 ”ring-radiator tweeter, 5.25” neodymium midbass drivers, AES input, attenuator with 1 db steps and advanced DSP integration.
Speaker emulation
Barefoot has gone to great lengths to utilize DSP processing to emulate characteristics from classic studio near-field speakers. With the help of a non-wireless remote control, 4 different types of speakers can be easily listened to without the hassle of having several alternative monitor systems standing.
The 4 settings are
Hi-Fi, which softens the top and provides a warm midrange typical of consumer hi-fi systems
Flat is the basic setting that gives the real unadulterated Barefoot sound
OldScl hits the essence of the inevitable NS10M. The subwoofer and the highest peak are muted, while the mid-range range is highlighted.
Cube leads the mind to the classic full-tone micro monitor like Auratone, suitable with the idea of sound from laptops, ipods and phones.
