Funktion-One RES 2 Professional Reference Loudspeaker: Precision Audio Engineering for the Discerning Listener The Funktion-One RES 2 Professional Reference Loudspeaker stands as a benchmark in professional audio, engineered to deliver studio-grade clarity, power, and consistency across diverse environments. Designed for critical listening and high-performance applications, this full-range, bi-amped system is not merely a speaker—it’s a reference point for accuracy, reliability, and sonic integrity. Whether deployed in live sound reinforcement, home theater setups, or recording studios, the RES 2 sets a new standard for what professionals expect from a monitor and main loudspeaker. Key Features: - Three-way design with horn-loaded efficiency for optimal SPL and reduced distortion - Fully passive high-frequency section for clean signal path and precise control - M10 flypoints for secure rigging in touring and fixed installations - Robust cabinet construction with minimal resonance for pure acoustic performance - High-sensitivity drivers (up to 107dB) ensuring efficient energy conversion - Broad frequency response (50Hz – 18kHz ±3dB) for accurate reproduction across all registers Detailed Description: At the heart of the RES 2 lies a meticulously engineered three-way configuration that ensures seamless integration between low, mid, and high frequencies. The 15" woofer handles the foundation from 28Hz to 250Hz with remarkable depth and control, while the 8" midrange driver (250Hz–6.5kHz) delivers smooth tonal balance and articulate detail. The 1" compression driver (6.5kHz and above) provides extended high-frequency extension with exceptional clarity—ideal for capturing subtle nuances in vocals, percussion, and orchestral instruments. With sensitivity ratings up to 107dB at 1 watt/1 meter, the RES 2 maximizes output efficiency without compromising fidelity. Its impedance profile (8Ω for LF, 12Ω for MF/HF) makes it compatible with modern digital amplifiers, enabling fast transient response and tight control over dynamic range—a must-have for live sound engineers and studio professionals alike. This speaker excels when paired with line array systems, enhancing coverage uniformity and adding precision to mid-high frequencies. In home audio, it harmonizes flawlessly with subwoofers like the
Sonos sub, creating a balanced and immersive experience where every note—from delicate piano tones to bass-heavy electronic music—is rendered with lifelike realism. As a studio monitor, its flat response and minimal distortion make it an essential tool for mixing, mastering, and critical evaluation. On stage, it delivers commanding presence, cutting through complex mixes and maintaining clarity even under heavy load. Ideal Use Cases: - Live sound reinforcement for concerts, festivals, and corporate events - Studio monitoring for mixing and mastering in professional and project environments - Home cinema and high-fidelity music playback with integrated
Subwoofer solutions - Fixed installation in theaters, clubs, and public venues requiring durable, consistent performance User Testimonials: “Whether I’m mixing in my studio or setting up for a festival, the RES 2 gives me confidence that what I hear is exactly what the audience will hear.” — Sound Engineer, Europe “I’ve used many monitors over the years—but none offer the same level of transparency and neutrality as the RES 2. It’s become my go-to reference.” — Producer, North America “The build quality is outstanding—it survives tours, weather, and heavy use without compromise. That kind of durability is rare in this class.” — Tour Manager, Australia Frequently Asked Questions: What makes the RES 2 suitable for both studio and live environments? Its wide frequency response, low distortion, and neutral character allow it to perform reliably whether you’re making creative decisions in a controlled room or delivering powerful sound in a large venue. How does it pair with digital amplifiers? The RES 2’s impedance-matched design and high-efficiency drivers ensure maximum power transfer and minimal signal degradation when used with Class D or digital amps, resulting in faster attack and cleaner transients. Is it easy to integrate into existing line array systems? Yes—the RES 2 is designed to complement line arrays by enhancing high-frequency detail and improving overall coherence, especially in long-throw applications such as outdoor festivals or large indoor arenas. Can it be used as a standalone
Monitor Speaker? Absolutely. Its fully horn-loaded design and bi-amped architecture make it ideal for near-field and midfield monitoring, offering unmatched accuracy for critical audio work. In summary, the Funktion-One RES 2 Professional Reference Loudspeaker is more than just a high-end loudspeaker—it’s a versatile, durable, and sonically transparent solution for anyone who demands uncompromised audio performance. From the studio to the stage, from home to tour, it delivers precision, power, and professionalism in one elegant package.
