BAREFOOT SOUND MICROMAIN26 - PAIR

Based on the renowned MicroMain27 Gen2, the Barefoot Sound MicroMain26 takes Barefoot’s uncompromising design and world-class performance to a whole new level. This active four-way reference monitor expands upon the traditional MM27 design with a highly detailed and transparent 2.5-inch aluminum cone midrange driver for unprecedented performance.
SIX CUTTING-EDGE DRIVERS
The MicroMain26 is equipped with four state-of-the-art drivers for class-leading accuracy and detail. The MM26 features two 10-inch aluminum cone subwoofers with Barefoot’s signature Dual-Force design to deliver powerful low end all the way down to 30 Hz. Two dedicated 5.25-inch woofers keep the lower midrange sounding thick and rich.
Barefoot’s new 2.5-inch aluminum cone midrange is housed in a cutting-edge 3D printed waveguide enclosure to deliver clear, detailed midrange with zero distortion. The 1-inch dual ring radiating tweeter offers silky-smooth highs all the way up to 40 kHz with an extremely wide sweet spot for improved consistency.
POWERFUL SOUND
Barefoot has teamed up with Bruno Putzeys of Hypex to develop a powerful and completely transparent amplifier design for hyper-accurate sound. The MM26 boasts over 1,100W of power, with 500 W driving the subs, 250 W to the woofers, and dual 180 W amps for the midrange drivers and tweeter. Paired with Barefoot’s innovative DSP crossover, high-end converters and cutting-edge filtering techniques, the MM26 produces stunning sound.
MEME TECHNOLOGY
All Barefoot Sound studio monitors are equipped with Multi-Emphasis Monitor Emulation, or MEME technology, which uses sophisticated DSP processing to emulate the sound of a wide range of classic studio monitors. Quickly reference your tracks on three additional monitor profiles and ensure your mixes will translate to any environment.
“Old School” mode emulates the sound of the iconic Yamaha NS10M monitors with an edgy, midrange-forward sound. The “Cube” setting is modeled after the legendary Auratone Sound Cube, giving your mixes a boxy, lo-fi sound. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the “Hi-Fi” setting emulates the sound of consumer hi-fi systems with a sweet high-end and warm midrange. And of course, the “flat” setting delivers the signature Barefoot sound that engineers, producers and musicians around the world have grown to know and love.

TESTIMONIALS

"I loved my Barefoot MicroMain 27's, but the MicroMain 26's are really a new generation of improvement in the midrange. Damn impressive."- Michael Brauer

"Just as I knew that within 30 seconds of hearing the MM27s I had to have a pair, the same held true for the MM26s. The sonic clarity, punch and ability to hear (and therefore mould) frequencies, transients and low end is superior to any other speaker in its class. The MM26s add an enhanced midrange which gives them super 3D detail in your vocals, drums and guitars. I absolutely love them.”- Rik Simpson, Grammy award winning producer, engineer, mixer & musician (Coldplay, Jay Z, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)
