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. 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.

Optimal setting for accuracy, transparency and outstanding 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. -

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 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.
