1 Thank you
Thank you for purchasing a Funktion One F81 system.
All Funktion One loudspeaker systems are designed and built in England. Our design philosophy is to
achieve outstanding sonic accuracy and efficiency through innovative acoustical design rather than
relying on headroom-robbing equalisation. This approach provides an audible sense of immediacy and
involvement reminiscent of the finest musical instruments.
We know that you’ll be eager to install your F81 system and get it up and running immediately, but
reading this user guide will help you to achieve the best performance - just as Funktion One intended.
2 Receiving and unpacking
Please check that your shipment is complete and in good condition before signing for the delivery.
Palletised and wrapped/strapped multiple cartons should only be moved using a fork-lift truck
driven by a qualified forklift driver
Single cartons should be manually handled one at a time
All Funktion One products are tested and inspected thoroughly before being despatched.
Contents
Each F81 carton should contain:
1 x F81 complete with:
2 x M6 blanking screws fitted to the side yoke bushes
2 x M6 blanking screws fitted to the rear mounting bushes
If Phoenix option has been specified - 1 x 2-pin Phoenix plug (usually fitted plugged onto
rear connector)
1 x printed Quick Start guide
Unpacking and inspecting
Inspect your shipment packaging and its contents for any signs of abuse or transit damage as soon as you
receive it.
Caution
Although F81 systems are not particularly heavy, please be aware that the combination of smooth
enclosure finishes and concentrated driver masses can make even small loudspeakers surprisingly easy
to drop. Always unpack your systems on a softly covered work-top or on a carpeted floor to avoid
accidental damage.
