The Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board is a stand-alone sound module for props, costumes, toys and small portable builds. It plays audio files stored on its built-in USB mass-storage flash, triggered by five different trigger effects, and needs only a 3 to 5.5VDC battery. No Arduino or other microcontroller is required, which makes it simpler than wiring a sound shield or a bare MP3 decoder into a project. It is deliberately limited: mono playback only, no MP3 support, no reprogramming or scripting, and no other trigger types.

Makers who use it in props, costumes and toys praise how quickly it gets sound into a project without any code. The common complaints are the fixed feature set: no MP3 support, mono output and no way to script or change behavior.
