O dizajnu Nostalx Zvučnik

Nostalx je Bluetooth zvučnik u retro stilu koji kombinira reprodukciju glazbe s višepojasnim radijskim prijemom. Sustav upravljanja uključuje dva gumba za okretanje, tri tipke i prekidač s više položaja. Lijevi gumb bira radijske kanale, dok desni gumb podešava glasnoću i isključuje zvučnik na najnižoj postavci. Prekidač s više položaja omogućuje prebacivanje između Bluetooth, FM, AM i SW načina rada. Kućište može biti izrađeno od obojene plastike, drva ili mat akrila. Nostalx zamjenjuje digitalne zaslone taktilnim kontrolama kako bi stvorio čulno iskustvo slušanja.
