Old School Note are two-way medium size speakers with classic design. They made of specially selected materials and thoroughly damped for low internal reflections and resonances. Top, bottom and side panels of the cabinet enclosure are made of plywood, front and back made from multilayer Aphonic-pro material. Braced cabinet is filled by foam and lined with sheets of bitumen.

30mm soft dome tweeter on the front is custom made according to our specifications and features the Acuflex technology. Fabric dome impregnated with special composition allows for compensating distortions caused by the curved surface. Tweeter is recessed into the small horn waveguide which accounts for better dispersion. Custom made 7-inch midrange/bass driver is equipped with phase plug and CURV cone. Made of specifically woven synthetic fibers, CURV is extremely light and rigid and ensures better self-damping.

Filter circuits are made of High End components including wirewound non-inductive resistors with bifilar winding and polypropylene capacitors. Crossover cabling is manually made by single-core copper wires via point-to-point wiring. Speaker cable binding posts feature sockets WBT nextgen 0705 CU. Low Mass technology (with minimum mass of the conductive part) ensures shortest possible signal path.

Additional 25mm tweeter is positioned on the rear panel. It helps creating spacious, widely dispersed and tangible stereo soundstage, as well as expanded radiation pattern. Rear tweeter’s mechanical three-position phase switch (in phase, out of phase, off) allows for adding and subtracting reflections which helps achieving better sound in both resonant and damped rooms. Using this switch you can control stereo imaging and adjust the reproduction to the specific characteristics of listening room.

Old School Note speakers major in precision and fidelity. Their academic sound is capable of unparalleled engagement. Midrange fidelity allows for natural sounding of vocals and most musical instruments, while well-judged crossovers and drivers with carefully chosen characteristics as well as rear tweeter contribute to the balanced and integrated sound space. Music lovers, always eager to find their special sound, will appreciate the control over this space and the ability to adjust speakers to the characteristic of specific room.

Old School Note’s cabinet is finished with real wood veneer (oak, black ash or walnut) with anthracite front panel.
