Introduction to the Resolution One
The Resolution 1 is a radical 2-way
loudspeaker enclosure resulting from Tony
Andrews’ 30 years pioneering research and
development of high efficiency cone mid-
range. This has resulted in a completely new
5 inch loudspeaker which eliminates the need
for compression drivers with their inherent
harshness and distortion. This device, when
used in conjunction with a miniaturised,
dedicated
Axhead-loaded
waveguide,
smoothly reproduces both the vital mid range
and high frequencies with exceptional
coherency and detail. Further, instead of stretching the response of a
compromised compression driver to (almost) meet an equally stretched
and indistinct 12" or 15" low frequency driver at 1 to 2 kHz as in
traditional 2-way systems, Funktion One’s new 5" device smoothly
connects with the (outstanding) 12" ported bass driver at 520Hz. The
resulting bass is lively and very well defined.
The high efficiency, projection and imaging of the R1 make it hard to
imagine that it comes in such a compact and lightweight package. The
enclosure shape has a rear recess that can either be used to flush fit a
separate passive crossover module or an amplifier module in a future
self powered version. The waveguide can be rotated for use in either
vertical or horizontal formats.
