Barefoot Sound MasterStack12 – Full-Range Mastering Monitor System (No Handles)
The Barefoot Sound MasterStack12 is the ultimate reference monitoring system for the most critical listening environments. Designed for top-tier mastering studios, high-end mixing facilities, and engineers who demand absolute sonic precision, the MasterStack12 delivers unmatched clarity, dynamic range, and low-end accuracy. This version comes without integrated handles for a cleaner visual aesthetic, ideal for custom studio installations.
Built on Barefoot’s proven MiniMain12 platform, the MasterStack12 adds a secondary subwoofer module to each channel, creating a true 4.5-way system with staggering headroom and full-range response down to 20 Hz. The system includes dual 12-inch subwoofers, dual 5.25-inch midbass drivers, dual 2.5-inch midrange drivers, and dual 1-inch ring radiator tweeters per side—all perfectly time-aligned and driven by powerful multi-channel amplification with proprietary DSP.
Featuring Barefoot’s signature MEME™ voicing technology, the MasterStack12 allows users to switch between multiple speaker emulations (such as “Hi-Fi,” “Mix Cube,” and “Old School”) for flexible referencing across different playback environments. Despite its massive scale, the MasterStack12 maintains ultra-fast transient response, wide stereo imaging, and phase coherence that meets the highest mastering standards.
