Barefaced Audio is a British loudspeaker manufacturer based in Brighton, England, founded by bassist and engineer Alex Claber in 2008. The company built its reputation on lightweight, high-output bass cabinets that challenged conventional designs, using neodymium drivers and carefully tuned enclosures to deliver volume and low-end typically associated with much larger rigs. Flagship bass models include the Super Compact, Big Baby, Big Twin, One10, Two10, Three10, and Super Twin, spanning the premium range alongside more affordable lines like the Uprising and Usurper.

Beyond bass, Barefaced extended its approach into guitar and FRFR territory, developing cabinets such as the Upsetter 110 and Reformer 112 built around its proprietary AVD (rear waveguide) technology, which disperses sound laterally to address the narrow directionality of traditional guitar cabs. The Activier and FRFR ranges target players running modellers and profilers who want full-range reproduction in a compact, gig-friendly format.

The brand is closely associated with the gigging and session bass community, frequently discussed on forums like TalkBass for its emphasis on portability without sacrificing tone. Cabinets are designed and built in the UK, and Barefaced offers a home-trial period that has become part of its direct-to-customer identity.

Barefaced has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Bass Amplifier Cabinets and Guitar Amplifier Cabinets. Their gear is featured by 6 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Tim Commerford, Jah Wobble, and Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo).
