Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board - WAV/OGG Trigger with 2MB Flash

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? You are probably feeling a little frustrated: it's 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!

Don't 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. There are 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, we've come out with the Adafruit Sound Board, the fastest way to add audio effects to a project! We think this is the best soundboard for props and costumes!

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

No Arduino or other microcontroller is required! It is completely stand-alone and 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 2MB of storage on the board itself. Good for a few minutes of compressed stereo, and maybe half a minute of uncompressed stereo. Double that if you go with mono instead of stereo. If you need more space we have a 16MB version here

Built-in Mass Storage USB - Plug any micro USB cable into the Sound Board and your Windows computer, and 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 - Do 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. We also have a version with a built-in stereo speaker amplifier

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. 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
