Acoustic Coupler AC-3 A standard telephone handset was placed into a cradle of the acoustic modem that had been engineered to fit closely (by the use of rubber seals) around the microphone and earpiece of the handset. A modem would modulate a loudspeaker in the cup attached to the handset's microphone, and sound from the loudspeaker in the telephone handset's earpiece would be picked up by a microphone in the cup attached to the earpiece. In this way signals could be passed in both directions. Sold for $149.95. Advertised as being ideal for travellers! Just dial the desired number and place handset on interface. Half duplex also.
