About the Funktion One F1201

The Funktion One F1201 is a passive two-way loudspeaker: a 12" driver and a 1" compression driver on a rotatable horn, in a trapezoid cabinet with no additional processing or passive network EQ. According to the manufacturer, it is the largest and most powerful of its F-Series range of smaller loudspeakers. Peak Entertainment, the official Funktion-One distributor in Spain, offers Funktion One F1201 hire in Madrid and throughout Spain for bars, small clubs and stand-alone PA that need clarity and level.

What it is rented for

According to the manufacturer, the F1201 works as a stand-alone PA or in small clubs and bars, and several units can be splayed into arrays (30–45° horizontally or 15–22° vertically) to cover more people. For more bass it suggests Funktion-One bass enclosures crossed over at 80–100 Hz (Linkwitz-Riley, 24 dB/oct), and with mixed material, live acts or DJs it recommends a system controller. From our catalogue you could add BR118 or BR121 subwoofers, the F215 mid-bass, the XTA DP226 processor and Powersoft K2 or T604 amplifiers; ask what is included when you request a quote.
