Friday Digest: Introducing Acoustics and Audio Brands
In our Friday digest, we picked up study materials that will help you learn a little about the history and features of the products of a number of new and well-established brands in the field of audio. Here we have touched models of both classic acoustics and portable models, embedded systems and speakers.

Brand Old School was created specifically for those who want to return to the past, but at the same time get a modern sound quality. It all started with the Arslab Old School Superb 90 column, which externally resembled the classic S-90 model, but with a completely different element base.
There were many who wanted to return to the past not only in Russia, so soon the acoustics of Old School turned into a separate brand, and the line of unusual audio solutions was replenished with several more interesting models. Today, products are available in Europe, Asia and the Russian market, and the brand’s own production is in Latvia.
