Buy Funktion One BR118 Used | musicconcertevent.com
If you are looking to buy Funktion One BR118 subwoofers, musicconcertevent.com has 6 units available with sequential serial numbers, original and perfectly working components, inox grills from WR models, and covers included. Price is 2,000€ per pair. No VAT applies as this is a margin product. The units need a fresh paint job, which is the only cosmetic point to note. Worldwide shipping is available.
Sequential serial numbers on a 6-unit lot means these cabinets were manufactured and deployed together as a matched set. For sound engineers and production companies who understand what that means in terms of driver matching and system consistency, it is a meaningful detail. Funktion One BR118 units in any condition with original components do not appear at this price point often. Six matched units with inox WR grills and covers at 2,000€ per pair is a direct opportunity for rental companies, club installers, and touring production teams who know the product.
What Is the Funktion One BR118?
The Funktion One BR118 is a passive single 18-inch subwoofer from Funktion-One, the UK-based professional audio manufacturer known for high-efficiency, high-fidelity loudspeaker systems used in clubs, festivals, and touring production worldwide. The BR118 is part of Funktion-One’s BR subwoofer range and is designed for use alongside Funktion-One full-range systems in configurations requiring controlled, high-output bass reinforcement.
As a passive unit, the BR118 requires external amplification and signal processing. It is not self-powered. Funktion-One equipment is associated with specific amplifier and processing requirements defined by the manufacturer, and correct performance depends on operating within those parameters.
The units in this listing are second hand with sequential serial numbers, original components confirmed as perfectly working, inox grills from the WR model variants, and covers included. The cabinets need fresh paint. All other aspects of the units are confirmed as original and functional.

Estimated Retail Value and Resale Margin
Funktion-One does not publish a public retail price list. New BR118 pricing flows through authorized Funktion-One dealers and distributors. Funktion-One equipment holds strong secondary market value due to the brand’s reputation in professional club and festival sound reinforcement. Used BR118 units in working condition with original components are sought after by club installers, rental companies, and touring productions running Funktion-One systems.
- Our price: 2,000€ per pair (1,000€ per unit)
- Condition: original components perfectly working, inox WR grills, covers included, needs fresh paint
- Serial numbers: sequential matched set
- No VAT: margin product
- Secondary market range for comparable BR118 units: Details not provided. Check current listings on GearSource and Reverb for live market pricing reference
The cosmetic requirement for fresh paint is the only factor distinguishing these units from near-perfect secondary market condition. Fresh paint on a BR118 cabinet is a straightforward job that does not affect the driver, components, or acoustic performance. The cost of a professional respray on 6 cabinets is considerably lower than any meaningful discount from secondary market pricing for fully refinished units. The margin between the cost of these units plus a respray and their refinished resale value is real.
Real Profit Example
A rental company purchases all 6 units (3 pairs) at 2,000€ per pair (6,000€ total) plus an estimated 600€ for professional repainting across all 6 cabinets (100€ per cabinet). Total investment: 6,600€.
They deploy all 6 units as a subwoofer array for club nights and outdoor dance events at a combined daily rental rate of 1,200€ per day for the full array.
At 6 rental days across the season, gross revenue equals 7,200€ against a total investment of 6,600€. The purchase and respray cost is recovered within that initial deployment window, and the units continue generating revenue in subsequent seasons.
This example uses assumed rental and respray rates. Your actual costs, rates, and booking volume will vary. These numbers are illustrative, not guaranteed.
Who Should Buy the Funktion One BR118
- Club owners and venue managers installing a permanent Funktion-One subwoofer system
- Sound engineers and PA technicians already running Funktion-One systems who need additional BR118 inventory
- Production companies and rental houses adding Funktion-One subwoofer capacity for festival, club, and touring applications
- DJ promoters and event organizers building a dedicated subwoofer system for club nights and outdoor dance events
- New PA event companies sourcing their first professional Funktion-One subwoofer inventory
- System integrators specifying Funktion-One for permanent venue installations
The Funktion One BR118 is associated most strongly with club sound and underground dance music culture, where the brand’s reputation for low-frequency clarity and high efficiency at sustained output levels is well established. That association translates directly into rental value for production companies operating in those markets.
Sequential Serial Numbers: Why It Matters
Sequential serial numbers on a matched lot of 6 units indicate that these cabinets were manufactured in the same production run and deployed together as a set. In practical terms this means the drivers are from the same batch, the cabinet construction is from the same material lot, and the units have been operated together in the same system context throughout their working life.
For system designers and sound engineers, a matched set of 6 sequential BR118 units behaves more consistently as an array than 6 units sourced from different production runs at different times. The tonal and dynamic characteristics are matched by default rather than by selection. In the used market, matched sequential sets are more valuable than the equivalent number of individually sourced units precisely because of this consistency. Six sequential BR118 units becoming available in a single listing is not a common occurrence.
Inox Grills from WR Models: What This Means
The inox grills fitted to these units are from Funktion-One’s WR (Weather Resistant) model variants. Inox refers to stainless steel, specifically a grade of steel with high corrosion resistance. WR model grills fitted to standard BR118 cabinets means these units are equipped with the more durable grill specification designed for outdoor and high-humidity environments.
For rental companies deploying subwoofers at outdoor festivals, in temporary structures, or in venues with high condensation, inox WR grills provide better long-term protection for the driver than standard grills. This is a practical upgrade over what you would typically receive on a standard BR118 in the used market.
Fresh Paint: What It Means and What to Budget
The units need fresh paint. This is a cosmetic requirement only. The drivers, crossover components, cabinet structure, and all acoustic elements are confirmed as original and perfectly working. Paint condition on a subwoofer cabinet does not affect acoustic performance.
A professional respray of a single BR118 cabinet typically costs between 80€ and 150€ depending on your location, the paint specification, and the contractor. For all 6 units, budget between 480€ and 900€ for a professional finish. If you are buying these units for permanent installation in a club or venue where the cabinets will be installed out of sight, the paint requirement may not require professional finishing at all.
The per-pair price of 2,000€ reflects the paint requirement honestly. It does not reflect any deficit in component condition, operational status, or acoustic performance.

What to Consider Before Starting a PA Event Company
If you are entering the PA rental or event production business and are evaluating the Funktion One BR118 as part of your subwoofer inventory, consider the following:
- Amplification requirement: The BR118 is passive. You need compatible professional power amplification and DSP processing. Funktion-One specifies recommended amplifier configurations for the BR118 in their official documentation. Budget for amplification alongside cabinet cost.
- Paint requirement: Factor the respray cost into your total investment. 480€ to 900€ for all 6 units is a realistic budget range.
- Brand positioning: Funktion-One subwoofers command a premium on event riders in the club, underground, and festival market. Rental rates for Funktion-One specified events are typically higher than for non-specified subwoofer inventory.
- System pairing: The BR118 is designed to pair with Funktion-One full-range systems. Running them alongside non-Funktion-One mid-high cabinets is possible but requires careful system design.
- Insurance: Equipment at this value requires appropriate cover for transit, on-site damage, and liability.
Professional resources including Sasphonik and Boston Pro Sounds provide practical guidance on system configuration and PA company setup for those entering the professional audio market.
Best PA Systems to Use the Funktion One BR118 With
The BR118 is designed to integrate within Funktion-One’s full-range system ecosystem. It performs as a bass extension component alongside Funktion-One full-range cabinets such as the F1, F2, Res 2, and SB series, driven through compatible amplification with Funktion-One’s published system configurations. For guidance on Funktion-One system integration and amplifier specification for the BR118, refer to Funktion-One’s official documentation or contact an authorized Funktion-One dealer.

Where to Sell Funktion One BR118 Units After Purchase
The secondary market for Funktion-One equipment is active and brand-loyal. Channels include:
- GearSource: the primary professional event production equipment marketplace
- Reverb: established pro audio section with strong Funktion-One demand from club and festival buyers
- Stageelectronic: professional touring and club equipment reference used by industry buyers in Europe
- LinkedIn: direct B2B outreach to production companies, club owners, and rental houses running Funktion-One systems
- Facebook Marketplace and eBay: broader reach, with Funktion-One brand recognition driving interest from both professional and serious semi-professional buyers
Funktion-One subwoofers refinished in good cosmetic condition with sequential serial numbers and WR inox grills command strong secondary market interest. The combination of matched serial numbers, WR grills, and confirmed original working components makes this lot more complete than the majority of used BR118 listings that appear individually without those details.
Why Our Units Are Different
Used Funktion One BR118 listings in the secondary market typically appear as individual units without matching serial numbers, without grill upgrades, and without confirmed component status. This listing offers 6 sequential matched units with original perfectly working components, inox WR grills, and covers, all at 2,000€ per pair with no VAT as a margin product. The only honest cosmetic note is that fresh paint is needed. Everything else about these units is confirmed.
Six matched sequential BR118 units in a single listing with this specification does not appear regularly. When it does, it moves.
