9.0 MEME™
(Multi Emphasis Monitor Emulation)
Barefoot MEME (pronounced “meam” like “team”)
technology allows you to box up your secondary
reference monitors for good. Despite the numerous
advantages of high-resolution monitors like the
Footprint01, many engineers still rely on their NS10s
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.
FLAT
Optimal setting for accuracy, transparency and out-
standing translation. Setting has a flat frequency
response and extremely fast transient response. This
is the default voice when the MEME Selector Switch is
not connected to the speaker.
HI-FI
While it does not emulate any one speaker in particular,
this setting is indicative of “hi-fi” in the colloquial sense
of the term. The midrange is a bit scooped and highs are
a little accentuated. The bass response is altered to have
less damping, yielding a hybrid character somewhere

However, it’s also a fact that crowding your console
with those extra boxes degrades the sound field of
the primary reference monitors. Not to mention, these
speakers are no longer manufactured, need amplifiers,
require cable runs, and consume more studio space.
MEME offers an elegant solution by emulating the
sound and translation characteristics of those other
classic monitors.
between the fast, tight, articulate sound of a sealed
cabinet and the slower, fatter sound of a ported speaker.
The result is a sweeter more forgiving sonic character.
OLDSCL
This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient
response of the NS10M.
CUBE
This setting emulates the frequency, phase and transient
response of classic mix cubes.
