Funk Firm - The Funk Turntable
Funk is a new name in the turntable world brought to you from the people behind Pink Triangle. These modern looking turntables are about much more than funky aesthetics. In fact, Funk employs key patented technologies that combined have produced sound we at Acoustic Sounds can't believe costs so relatively little.
Among its innovations is a Vector Drive system (in the Funk Vector model only) whereby a triple pulley arrangement balances the drive to the platter/bearing system. This results in low-level resolution throughout the frequency range by freeing the motor from the tug that hinders conventional motor pulley systems.
All of the Funk tables include a patented Achroplat, which is 100 percent impedance matching. The Achroplat features a unique aerated construction that offers additional damping to further enhance performance. The Funk tables also employ an inverted Sapphire bearing with a polished thrust plate, which virtually eliminates rumble and resonance.
The Funk is equipped with:
Achroplat (pat pend): Improving on acrylic, it is the perfect Achromatic (non-resonant) support.
Inverted Sapphire Bearing. Very hard, very highly polished. Seen in the highest performance decks.
DC Motor drive. Low vibration and optimally matched to the platter's inertia for consistent drive.
Sorbothane connected feet to isolate critical midband energy from the outside world.

"It's capable of things that decks costing three or four times as much can only dream of" Jason Kennedy
