7.2 Cooling
While the amplifier modules that drive the Footprint01 are very efficient, the speaker still generates a
significant amount of heat that must be dissipated. This heat is transmitted to the air via convection from the
rear amplifier plate. In order to ensure proper airflow, a minimum of 2.0 inches (51 mm) clearance should be
maintained between the speaker and any large obstructions like walls. An ambient room temperature below
30°C (85°F) should be maintained. Over
- temperature may cause speaker to overheat and shut down.
8.0 Maintenance
Exterior surfaces of this product may be cleaned using a non - abrasive lint - free cloth lightly damped
with water. Disconnect the mains power cable when cleaning to avoid risk of electric shock. Do not use
alcohol
- based cleaners.
Driver active surfaces such as diaphragms and surrounds may be cleaned using dry soft bristle brushes.
Driver diaphragms are very delicate and easily damaged. So, proceed with great care. Clean new
sable artist brushes or cosmetic brushes work well for this task. Gently brush dust away from the
surface starting at the center of the driver diaphragm and moving radially outward. Avoid applying
inward pressure to the driver diaphragm.
Repairs, maintenance, or other servicing of this product when its interior compartment is exposed
should only be performed under specific advice from Barefoot Sound by a qualified technician or by
the Barefoot Service Center. There are no user
- serviceable parts inside this product.
