O dizajne Nostalx Reproduktor

Nostalx je bluetooth reproduktor v retro štýle, ktorý kombinuje prehrávanie hudby s viacpásmovým rozhlasovým príjmom. Ovládací systém zahŕňa dva otočné gombíky, tri tlačidlá a viacpolohový prepínač. Ľavý gombík slúži na výber rozhlasových kanálov, zatiaľ čo pravý gombík upravuje hlasitosť a pri minimálnom nastavení reproduktor vypína. Viacpolohový prepínač prepína medzi režimami Bluetooth, FM, AM a SW. Kryt môže byť vyrobený z farebného plastu, dreva alebo matného akrylu. Nostalx nahrádza digitálne displeje hmatovými ovládacími prvkami, aby vytvoril zmyslový zážitok z počúvania.

This project transforms the music player from a functional tool to a lifestyle product, blending vintage sensory appeal with modern convenience.
