Trumstand iPhone Passive Acoustic Amplifier

Looking like something out of a Dr. Seuss story, the Trumstand from Pleiades System Design passively amplifies an iPhone’s built-in speaker using a large horn attached to a machined base. [via Core77]

    He did a presentation at the Austin Dorkbot meeting, and I was really impressed at his craftsmanship and how well these worked.

      I did a similar thing, though nowhere near as elegantly or beautifully, about five years ago. I replaced the needle of a gramophone with a 3.5mm audio jack, and fitting the speaker within the soundbox.

      Very simple modification, and it came out looking pretty good. Details are online if anyone’s interested in replicating it:

    The iPhone looks beautiful and iOS is
    beautiful…if you like the fixed aesthetic from the vision of Apple.
    Personally, I love it on an iPad and am indifferent on the iPhone,Claw Digital

    development. And, for this reason, these who ended up fond of software  development were actually at gain.
