One speaker, many names: I’ll just call the new speaker Funktion-One Evolution X – even though the more common name Evo X is used on the product page and in an older video. For the manufacturer, it’s not about the name, it’s about the sound. And that’s where the name Funktion-One (alternatively spelt without a hyphen) stands like a rock in the surf. Let’s take a closer look at the PA speaker.
Funktion-One Evolution X: a PA loudspeaker with a waveguide design and a wide horizontal dispersion pattern
The Funktion-One Evolution X is the latest coup from the British company that has achieved legendary status with its PA speakers. The new full-range speaker is all about compact dimensions, higher SPL levels and the latest driver technology. This should make the Evo X the first choice for live events, small club rooms and theatres.
The single loudspeaker solution is based on a newly developed isophase diffraction HF waveguide technology that provides a wide horizontal dispersion pattern of 90 degrees. The Evolution X covers a total frequency range of 60Hz to 18kHz (at -3dB), with the Funktion-One midrange driver covering 280Hz to 5kHz.
The manufacturer points out that the current comparisons are relatively low in relation to the high efficiency, some additional information can be found in this datasheet.
The Funktion-One Evolution X weighs 47 kilos and comes with a matching trolley. This means that the speaker can be moved quickly, especially at festivals.
With high SPL from a relatively compact cabinet, they can be used as a pair for small live events or as a four-point system for small clubs. Combine with F-Series or BR-Series woofers to boost the low-frequency energy.
