Weighing in at a hefty 4.3kg, this dock sports a hand-crafted curvaceous brass horn plated with your choice of nickel or gold powder. The base was created using a machined block of aluminum, and, to give it that authentic gramophone feel, the classic technology the dock hints at is fully operational.
Yes, any sound produced by this gorgeous iPhone dock is amplified through the naturally occurring resonance created by the horn’s ingenious shape. There are no added speakers of amplifiers, just the familiar muddy tones of a bygone era.
