Making an Acoustic Phone Amplifier

There are so many ways you can listen to music these days, and mobile phones have taken a big chunk of that market in the last few years. However, phones don't really have the volume to fill a room with sound. That's what we're fixing in today's installment, when we're making an acoustic phone amplifier!
Make sure you watch until the end, as there is a small announcement which could be especially relevant if you're an instagram user.

Technically it's a horn. An amplifier requires an electronic component driving the power output. The audio of the phone before the horn is pointed at the floor and then the audio coming out of the horn is far more direct. You filmed this beautifully. Wish you had a better example of the before and after audio.

@fleshtonegolem 7 жыл бұрын

Farnømat analog amplifiers are also electronic. some are digital and some are analog (tubes) an amplifier increases a signal prior to leaving a speaker. It's a direct manipulation of the signals amplitude that makes it an "amplifier" this is an acoustic horn.

@@kcgunesq the energy comes from the phone battery. This horn is a passive device and so cannot increase the output energy. It does two things, it makes a better impedance match to the air and focuses the sound in the direction it's pointing. It increases decibels for a listener in front by "stealing" them from a listener behind. It's principally a lens.

man. i could probably build this easily without the crazy tools he had. You just have to use some ingenuity, and figure out how to modify the build to the tools and materials YOU have. for example. the lathed brass flange and plate could easily be replaced by using hardening epoxy that you sand smooth then simply paint the epoxy and base the same color. just do it clean not sloppy and it will look nice. Also I love this idea because I like older music like Sinatra or really old blues music. Their stuff originally was played on vinyl records through a Victrola (early record player with a big horn for a speaker) This unit really REALLY gives you the old feel of a Victrola with the modern touch of using the cell phone. I REALLY LIKE THIS.

Wow, not only are you quite the skilled craftsman, but you are obviously very skilled with cinematography. These are some beautiful camera angles and you make it quite pleasant to watch.

Very classy build. I'd want to hear a sound test of music that's full definition and not the oldies (even though I love the classics), just to hear the amplification capabilities. Even if not used it's a beautiful ornament in any home. Well done mate!

Greetings from the Great White North. Excellent build and great explanation. Luckily, I have access to all the tools and materials you have used and I am going to build one too. I just thinks it looks and sounds great. Thank you for posting the build. Take Care.

Man, I wish I had all the tools needed to create cool things like this. I've got a decent amount of handheld tools, but nothing like lathes, band saws, table saws, drill presses, and so on. I do have access to some of these things though. No lathe though. I'm glad I discovered this channel. I love shit like this. I've been working on making a bass guitar from a water damaged body I found. It's completely unpainted, and no strings or electronics installed. It does have a neck though, which appears to be in great shape. It also has the tuners and strap pegs which I'm going to replace. There is some rust that accumulated where the screw goes in on the bottom to hold in the strap peg. I'm not exactly sure what to do to clean it out though. I'm thinking of drilling a bigger hole and filling it back up so I can drill a new hole for the new screw. I procrastinate a lot though, so it's taking me quite a while to get this done.
