Manufactured in 1971 with special Novik speakers, these Mini-Oito speakers had an amazing sound for the time. But do they still meet current needs?
What are the difficulties in restoring yourself? Will it be good? These and other points are discussed in this video, where we show step-by-step how the restoration took place and explain the history of this model to understand why it was made this way and not another.
Gradiente was one of the first companies to design and manufacture transistor amplifiers in Brazil. They needed compatible speakers and so the company's first line was created, with several models including the Mini-Oito shown in this video.
We had a lot of difficulties restoring this box, but in the end we managed to make it very similar to the originals and we were able to evaluate what they sound like, what purpose they serve and we carried out several tests that are shown in the video.
