I think it’s mainly down to how well set-up they are. I’ve heard a fair few Void systems, and they’ve varied from terrible to excellent. When done right, they’re certainly comparable to Funktion 1, but I’ve never really had an absolute wow moment with them. The next-gen Funktion 1 is something called Vero, and that really is just like a massive hi-fi. Absolutely incredible. Also people to keep an eye on, from the P.A point of view, are Hennessey Sound Design, in the States. Utterly beautiful sound I heard from one of their systems, and talking to their guys, that’s their mission. It’s not often a P.A affects you in that way. Just sublime. I’d love to be the first person over this side of the pond, to take out one of their systems.
Edit: I absolutely agree with you on the LOOK of Void though! Sci-fi perfection!
It’s terribly proportioned, isn’t it? Why do competent engineers (I assume they are, anyway) not get in some help with aesthetics if they can’t see this kind of thing themselves?
