“Barefoot Sound. The very first time I heard about it, it was at a trade show, and I saw these monitors that looked different from everything else, and then I was at a studio in San Francisco, and this guy had them, and he was raving about them, and he played me a mix through ’em, and I just immediately fell in love with them because they were just powerful. They were punchy. They were musical… All the things that I look for in a monitor. I can really, really turn them up, or, I can turn them way down when I’m writing vocals, when I’m doing intricate rides, I can really turn ’em down and hear everything, and that’s pretty special. There’s not a lot of monitors that you can do that with.” – Manny Marroquin, Multi-GRAMMY Winning Mix Engineer

“I only use Barefoots now when making music. I find that the Barefoots are the truest for me. When I do my music, I want to hear it back the same everywhere I go. It’s become my favorite monitor for listening to my music. Listening to music should be an experience, the music being made is part of the experience that you get, the emotional feeling when you hear certain songs. You should also have an experience with the sound and the definition of sound, and know that each part of the song has an element that’s being expressed correctly. The right speaker is what gives you that. That’s what Barefoot is.” – Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Multi-GRAMMY Winning Record Producer
