Funktion-One has announced the F132, an ‘extraordinarily powerful’ horn-loaded bass enclosure that features Powersoft’s M-Force 10kW linear transducer and a specially designed cone and enclosure technology.

Using a single 32-inch driver, the F132 delivers a frequency response of 24Hz to 70Hz.

‘As soon as I saw it [M-Force] and became aware of it, I knew it was an important development,’ says Funktion-One’s Tony Andrews. ‘The trick was to apply the power of the motor to the air in the most efficient way possible. I knew it was something we had to work with.

‘We wanted to maximise the transducer’s potential, so we developed our own loading technique and cone using aerospace technology, ' he continues. 'It’s giving us energy right down to 24Hz. These sorts of frequencies, horn-loaded, is a new experience for everyone; it has always been ported boxes before now. We powered up four of them together and it took me two weeks to forget the molecular impression it had on my body. I’ve never experienced anything like it before.’
