Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you dont even know how to use microcontrollers, you just want to make a sound play whenever you press a button. What about something that has to be small and portable? You are probably feeling a little frustrated: its been very hard to find a simple, low cost audio effects trigger that is easy to use and does not require any programming
UNTIL NOW!
Dont get me wrong, I love the MP3 Music Maker shield, and our Wave Shield is a dependable classic. But you still need to get an Arduino involved. Theres all sorts of tricks with ISD chips or recordable greeting cards, but they never sound any good. So after a lot of engineering and tinkering weve come out with the Adafruit Sound Board, the fastest way to add audio effects to a project! We think this is the best sound board for props and costumes!
Best of all, this version even comes with a 2 x 2W stereo class D amplifier! If you dont need an amplifier built in, check out the headphone-out version here.
This product includes the Audio FX sound board, header strip, and two 2-pin terminal blocks. It does not include batteries, speakers, breadboard, or tactile switches.
The Sound Board has a lot of amazing features that make it the easiest thing ever:
What do we mean by trigger effects? Well, depending on your project you may need to have audio play in different ways. We thought of the five most common needs and built it into the Sound Board so you just rename the file to get the effect you want. See the product tutorial for more details
The sound board is designed to be simple: it does not have polyphonic ability, cant play MP3s (MP3 is patented and costs $ to license, so this board uses the similar but not-patented OGG format, theres tons of free converters that will turn an MP3 into OGG), isnt reprogrammable or scriptable, and you cant have any other kind of trigger type. However, theres a good chance the project you want to make will work great.
We designed this board specifically for people who wanted to make props, costumes, toys, and other small portable projects. Check out the tutorial for all the powering options, you can power from 3-5VDC so a 3xAAA battery pack or a LiPoly battery will work well. You can even use our LiPoly backpack to fit on top for an all-in-one rechargeable effects board
