STEREO BREAKTHROUGH
Bone
Fone
A new concept in sound technology
may revolutionize the way we
listen to stereo music.
The Bone Fone surrounds your entire body
with a sound almost impossible to imagine.
You're standing in an open field. Suddenly
there’s music from all directions. Your bones
resonate as if you’re listening to beautiful
stereo music in front of a powerful home stereo
system.
But there’s no radio in sight and nobody else
hears what you do. It’s an unbelievable
experience that will send chills through your
body when you first hear it.
AROUND YOU
And nobody will know you’re listening to a
stereo. The entire sound system is actually
draped around you like a scarf and can be
hidden under a jacket or worn over clothes.
The Bone Fone is actually an AM/FM stereo
multiplex radio with its speakers located near
your ears. When you tune in a stereo station,
you get the same stereo separation you’d
expect from earphones but without the bulk
and inconvenience. And you also get some-
thing you won’t expect.
INNER EAR BONES
The sound will also resonate through your
bones-all the way to the sensitive bones of
your inner ear. It’s like feeling the vibrations of
a powerful stereo system or sitting in the first
row listening to a symphony orchestra-it’s
breathtaking.
Now you can listen to beautiful stereo music
everywhere-not just in your living room.
Imagine walking your dog to beautiful stereo
music or roller skating to a strong disco beat.
You can ride a bicycle or motorcycle, jog
and even do headstands-the Bone Fone
stays on no matter what the activity. The Bone
Fone stereo brings beautiful music and con-
venience to every indoor and outdoor activity
without disturbing those around you and with-
out anything covering your ear.
SKI INVENTION
The Bone Fone was invented by an
engineer who liked to ski. Every time he took a
long lift ride, he noticed other skiers carrying
transistor radios and cassette players and
wondered if there was a better way to keep
your hands free and listen to stereo music.
So he invented the Bone Fone stereo. When
he put it around his neck, he couldn't believe
his ears. He was not only hearing the music
and stereo separation, but the sound was
resonating through his bones giving him the
sensation of standing in front of a powerful
stereo system.
AWARDED PATENT
The inventor took his invention to a friend
who also tried it on. His friend couldn't believe
what he heard and at first thought someone
was playing a trick on him.
The inventor was awarded a patent for his
idea and brought it to JS&A. We took the idea
and our engineers produced a very sensitive
yet powerful AM/FM multiplex radio called the
Bone Fone
The entire battery-powered system is self-
contained and uses four integrated circuits
and two ceramic filters for high station select-
ivity. The Bone Fone weighs only 15 ounces,
so when worn over your shoulders, the weight
is not even a factor.
BUILT TO TAKE IT
The Bone Fone was built to take abuse. The
large 70 millimeter speakers are protected in
flexible water and crush resistant cases. The
case that houses the radio itself is made of
rugged ABS plastic with a special reinforce-
ment system. We knew that the Bone Fone
stereo may take a great deal of abuse so we
designed it with the quality needed to with-
stand the worst treatment.
The Bone Fone stereo is covered with a
sleeve made of Lycra Spandex-the same
material used to make expensive swim suits,
so it’s easily washable. You simply remove the
sleeve, dip it in soapy water, rinse and let the
sleeve dry. It's just that easy. The entire
system is also protected against damage from
moisture and sweat making it ideal for jogging
or bicycling.
The sleeve comes in brilliant Bone Fone
blue-a color designed especially for the
system. An optional set of four sleeves in
orange, red, green and black is also available
for . You can design your own sleeve using
the pattern supplied free with the optional kit.
YOUR OWN SPACE
Several people could be in a car, each tuned
to his own program or bring the Bone Fone to a
ball game for the play by play. Cyclists,
joggers, roller skaters, sports fans, golfers,
housewives, executives-everybody can find
a use for the Bone Fone. It's the perfect gift.

important-compare the Bone Fone with your
