Sculptured Phonofone III is a Ceramic Amplifier for iPhone

By

Phonofone III

Now here’s something you don’t see every day: Science and Sons have just released the Phonofone III, a ceramic horn-shaped dock for the iPhone which serves as a passive amplification system. Output from the iPhone’s built-in speakers is boosted approximately 60dB by the horn’s acoustical characteristics, rivaling output from many small powered docking systems.

Handcrafted in Canada, this is the third edition of the Phonofone series. The first batch of 50 signed pieces goes onsale today (Nov 25) for CAN$195. All models of the iPhone are compatible.

Clever, classy and environmentally friendly – a different kind of horn of plenty, just in time for the holidays.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
