MEME Technology

Barefoot MEME technology allows you to box up your secondary reference monitors for good. Despite the numerous advantages of high-resolution monitors like the Footprint03, 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.

MEME Vocies:

Flat

• Optimal setting for accuracy, transparency, and outstanding translation. Setting has a flat frequency response and an 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 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.

Old School

• 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.
