    1.0 Description The Footprint01 is a 3-way active system with 4 drive units housed in sealed enclosures spanning 36Hz to 45kHz with low distortion, wide dynamic range and ultra-fast transient response. The ring radiator tweeter is exceptionally detailed and produces very wide dispersion beyond the highest audible frequencies. The 4”...

    Mains power voltage must never exceed 250 VAC. Connecting the power cord to AC power line voltages over 250 VAC will damage the amplifier and may cause the risk of fire. Such damage is NOT covered under warranty. Rear panel Mains power input layout. Please read and follow the safety information below: •...

    The analog signal is converted to 24bit/192kHz digital audio via a precision, ultra-high-fidelity analog to digital converter section inside the Footprint01. 2. [LEVEL] Eight position rotary switch adjusts the loudness in precise increments ( +3dB, 0, -1, -2, -3, -5, -7 and -9dB.

    4.0 Startup 1. Plug in the grounded mains power cable (see warnings on previous page for details) . 2. Plug in an analog balanced audio signals from a source such as a preamplifier, sound card, monitor controller or mixing console to INPUT XLR connector. Ensure that the audio signal is fully attenuated. 3.

  • Page 8: Positioning

    7.0 Positioning The acoustic center of the Footprint01 is located at the LED indicator just above the tweeter. The Footprint01 is designed to work equally well as a nearfield or mid-field monitor. The minimum recommended listening distance is 3 .0 feet (91 cm). This provides enough distance so the sound waves from the individual drivers can coalesce and the speaker sounds like a single source.

  • Page 9: Widening The Stereo Field

    Since the Footprint01 has such wide off-axis dispersion, the horizonal angle relative to the listener can be changed by up to 10 degrees with less than 1 dB variance in the frequency response across the audible spectrum.

  • Page 10: Cooling

    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.
