What Is a Funktion One PA System?
Funktion One is a British loudspeaker manufacturer founded by Tony Andrews and John Newsham. The brand is known in the professional sound industry for its exceptionally accurate, high-output, low-distortion speaker systems. You will find Funktion One systems installed in some of the most demanding venues in the world, including Fabric (London), Berghain (Berlin), and DC-10 (Ibiza).
Their philosophy is simple: reproduce the original sound as accurately as possible, at any volume. That means tight, defined bass without mud, and highs that stay clear even at extended listening sessions. For DJs, live sound engineers, and festival productions, that distinction matters enormously.

What Is a PA Package and What Should You Know Before Starting
A PA (Public Address) system is a complete audio signal chain designed to amplify and reproduce sound for an audience. A full PA package typically includes subwoofers (like the BR118) for low-frequency reproduction, full-range tops (like the Res 2 Mk1) for mid and high frequencies, amplifiers, signal processors, and cabling.
Best PA Systems to Consider for Events
For club and festival use, Funktion One, d&b audiotechnik, and Meyer Sound consistently rank as the top professional choices. For mobile DJs and touring acts with moderate budgets, QSC K Series, RCF NX, and Nexo systems offer excellent performance at lower price points. Brands like those covered at sasphonik.com provide solid coverage of mid-tier professional systems worth researching before making a purchase decision.
Best Amplifiers for PA Systems
For passive systems like the BR118, you need a dedicated power amplifier. Industry-trusted options include Crown XTi, Lab.gruppen, and Powersoft. For touring use, Powersoft K series and Lab.gruppen FP+ series are the standard. Reviews and technical guidance on amplifier pairings are covered in depth at bostonprosounds.com, which is worth consulting when specifying your system.
What to Consider Before Starting a PA Event Company
Starting a PA or event production company in 2026 requires more than just buying gear. Before you invest, consider the following:
- Your target market: club installs, touring, corporate events, or festivals each have different gear requirements and margin structures.
- Insurance and liability: professional AV equipment at events requires liability coverage. This is not optional.
- Transportation: heavy gear like the BR118 requires freight or van logistics. Factor this into every quote.
- Crew: operating a Funktion One system correctly requires trained engineers. Rushing this damages gear and reputation.
- Amplification: passive speakers require external amplification. Budget for it from day one.
- Signal processing: Funktion One systems are typically run with dedicated DSP processors. Budget for a Lake or XTA unit.
Why Funktion One Speakers Hold Their Value
Used Funktion One gear holds value better than nearly any other professional loudspeaker brand for three reasons. First, the build quality is exceptional, with custom drivers, birch ply enclosures, and touring-grade hardware that outlasts competitors by years. Second, the sound philosophy is so distinctive that engineers specifically request them by name. Third, the installed user base is enormous, meaning parts, technical documentation, and qualified technicians are available globally.
Top Res 2 Mk1 used units regularly appear on the market between $2,500 and $5,000 each, which tells you exactly what kind of floor the resale value has. Funktion One Res 2 for sale listings at fair prices do not stay online long.
Why Our Funktion One Speakers Are Different
Every unit we list at musicconcertevent.com has been physically tested and confirmed working before listing. We do not list untested units or describe condition from photos alone. The BR118 units come with their original transport wheels and protective covers, which alone represent a cost of several hundred dollars per unit if purchased separately. The Res 2 Mk1 pair retains all original components, meaning no reconed drivers, no replacement tweeters, and no aftermarket modifications.
This matters because the performance of a Funktion One speaker is inseparable from the quality of its original transducers. A reconed BR118 is not the same speaker. What we are selling is the real thing, intact.
