Fk1 is 21 years old now !

That is the full 15 minutes story in six chapters - interviews with: Ann Andrews, Tony Andrews and John Newsham - founders, inventors and managers of Funktion One (UK) - very unique loudspeakers manufacturer.

Not to write about F1 itself: listen what they have to say about it and the phenomenon of these great but not too widely popular speakers.

"We're not a company that is driven by marketing. I think that is pretty obvious to most people. We are company driven by passion for sound", Ann Andrews


Funktion One is the second (after Turbosound) company driven by them. Ann joined Tony (and John) after their left Turbosound and for the first ten years of not releasing any products. About 2000 the Resolution series has appeared on the market...

"Tony and John, who were also responsible for founding Turbosound in the 1970s, are accredited with several generations of revolutionary loudspeaker designs including the TMS-3, Flashlight and Floodlight systems. They are widely known for their pioneering work and ethos which established many of the principles which subsequently became standard audio industry practice. Whilst often imitated their designs have not been surpassed and have been the first choice of many permanent and touring sound applications around the World.

The Funktion One design team, lead by Tony and John, represent an unsurpassed pool of experience and expertise in the audio industry having been consistent innovators in audio design, concert touring and sound installation for over 30 years." - as we can read on Funktion One's website: www.funktion-one.com
