Califone is an American audio equipment manufacturer founded in 1946 as the educational products division of Robert Metzner's Roberts Electronics, and headquartered in San Fernando, California. The company built its reputation on rugged classroom-grade audio gear and became a fixture in American schools for decades — most recognizably through its heavy-duty portable phonographs and suitcase-style record players, which became ubiquitous in K-12 classrooms, libraries, and music rooms from the 1950s onward. The brand was one of the earlier U.S. manufacturers to offer reel-to-reel tape recorders and solid-state radio tuners to the general public.

The product catalog spans headphones and headsets, CD/cassette/MP3 players, listening centers, wireless microphone and PA systems, and record players. Califone's over-ear classroom headphone lines (including the CA-2, 2924AV-P, and 3068AV models) and its group listening centers are widely used in language labs, testing environments, and early-literacy programs. While the brand's core market is education rather than pro audio, its durable headphones and phonographs occasionally turn up in home studios and among DJs and producers who collect or sample from vintage classroom record players.

Califone has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Headphones & In-Ear Monitors, Analog, and Cassette Recorders & Duplicators. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. Notable users include John Osborne, Kid Koala, and Isaiah Ikey Owens.
