Based on the renowned MicroMain27 Gen2 platform, the Barefoot Sound MicroMain26 10" 4-way active studio monitor pair raises the performance to new highs with the addition of Barefoot’s incredibly transparent and detailed 2.5" aluminum cone midrange. The MicroMain26 delivers everything the MM27 is famous for and even more.
The MicroMain26 is a 4-way active system with six drive units housed in sealed enclosures spanning 30Hz to 45kHz with vanishingly low distortion, breathtaking dynamic range and ultrafast transient response.

The ring radiator tweeter is incredibly detailed and produces very wide dispersion out to its highest frequencies. The 2.5" aluminum cone midrange is housed in a cutting-edge 3D printed waveguide enclosure. The 5.25" woofers feature a phalanx of advanced technology, yielding upper bass and lower midrange detail that rivals any driver on the planet. Barefoot has teamed up with Bruno Putzeys of Hypex to develop the powerful and completely transparent amplifier stage used in every Barefoot monitor. Melding the system together is a groundbreaking new DSP crossover that took Thomas Barefoot more than four years to develop. With beautifully designed high-end converters and cutting-edge proprietary filtering techniques the MM26 sound stage is seamlessly coherent and deeply revealing.

MEME Technology

Despite the advantages of high-resolution monitors, Thomas Barefoot realizes that many engineers still use their NS10Ms and mix cubes as secondary references. These speakers have long traditions and people find them familiar and useful for focusing in on certain aspects of their mix. However, crowding one’s console with those extra boxes degrades the sound field of the primary reference monitors. Not to mention, they are no longer manufactured, they need amplifiers, cable runs, and they consume more studio space. The solution is to make the MM26 sound and translate like those speakers. With the turn of a knob one can switch from the MicroMain26's brutally revealing "Flat" response to the warmer and sweeter "Hi-Fi" setting, generically emulating the sound of some high-end consumer audio gear. More specifically, the "Old School" setting closely emulates the sound of the NS10M nearfield, while the "Cube" setting emulates the mid-centric sound of classic mix cubes The idea is not to perfectly replicate every subtle quirk of these venerable old speakers. That would be impossible. But the MM26 can capture the essence of how they behave and translate, modeling their frequency, phase and transient responses, dynamic compression, and even specific distortion components. If you know how to work on these speakers, you’ll feel very comfortable working on the new MM26′s emulation settings.
