Audio FX board 16MB

Would you like to add audio/sound effects to your next project, without an Arduino+Shield? Or maybe you don’t 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?

This little board is what you probably want.

The Sound Board has a lot of amazing features that make it the easiest thing ever:

• No Arduino or other microcontroller required! It is completely stand-alone, just needs a 3 to 5.5VDC battery
• Small - only 1.9” x 0.85”
• Built in storage - yep! you don’t even need an SD card, there’s 16MB of storage on the board itself. Good for ~15 minutes of compressed stereo, and maybe a couple minutes of uncompressed stereo. Double that if you go with mono instead of stereo
• Built in Mass Storage USB - Plug any micro USB cable into the Sound Board and your Windows computer, you can drag and drop your files right on as if it were a USB key
• Compressed or Uncompressed audio - Go with compressed Ogg Vorbis files for longer audio files, or uncompressed WAV files
• High Quality Sound - You want 44.1KHz 16 bit stereo? Not a problem! The decoding hardware can handle any bit/sample rate and mono or stereo
• 11 Triggers - Connect up to 11 buttons or switches, each one can trigger audio files to play
• Stereo line out - Headphones, powered speakers or even wire up one of our amplifiers to make loud sounds
• Five different trigger effects - by changing the name of the files, you can create five different types of triggers which will cover a large range of projects without any programming

What do we mean by trigger effects? Well, depending on your project you may need to have audio play in different ways.
