The MicroMain27 is a 3.5-way active system with 5 drive units housed in sealed enclosures spanning 30Hz to 45kHz, boasting vanishingly low distortion, breathtaking dynamic range, and incredibly fast transient response. Featuring opposing 10? Dual-Force™ Technology subwoofers, the renowned MicroMain27 boasts advanced electronics and drivers, granting it even greater dimension and transparency across the entire audio spectrum. The 5.25? midbass features an array of advanced technology, yielding midrange detail rivaling any driver on the planet. The 1? ring radiator tweeter delivers incredible detail and wide dispersion out to its highest frequencies. Barefoot Sound developed a powerful and completely transparent amplifier stage for the MicroMain27. The system is melded together with a groundbreaking DSP (Digital Signal Processor) crossover that Barefoot has dedicated thousands of hours to developing. With beautifully designed high-end converters and cutting-edge proprietary filtering techniques, the MicroMain27 soundstage is seamlessly coherent and deeply revealing.

Cabinet vibrations are a significant source of distortion and coloration in most loudspeakers. The primary mechanism is simple action and reaction. As the driver motor forces the cone to move back and forth in order to generate sound, the cone exerts an equal and opposite force on the motor. This force is transmitted through the driver frame to the cabinet. The effect is especially prevalent in the low frequencies where the cone motion is greatest. While MicroMain27 cabinets are massive and well braced, we also tackle the problem at its source by eliminating vibrations before they even begin. This is achieved through our innovative force cancellation design (Dual-Force™ Technology). The low-frequency drivers are mounted on opposing sides of the cabinet, and their motors are locked together. As the cones are driven in and out in opposite directions, the forces exerted on the motors cancel one another. The vibrations never make it to the cabinet because they are not allowed to develop in the first place. This layout has the further benefit of forming a massive internal metal cabinet bracing. Furthermore, because the wavelengths generated by the subwoofers are much larger than the speaker cabinet dimensions, the subs radiate as if they were a single point source located on the axis with the tweeter.
