Drown out the voices in your head with a bone conduction transducer! This incredible speaker does not have a moving cone like most speakers you've seen, instead, a small metal rod is wrapped with the voice coil. When current is pulsed through the coil, the magnetic field causes a piece of metal to expand and contract - if pressed against a flat surface or cavity it turns it into a speaker! Often these size transducers are pressed up against...

Piezo buzzers are used for making beeps, tones and alerts. This one is petite but loud! Drive it with 3-30V peak-to-peak square wave. To use, connect one pin to ground (either one) and the other pin to a square wave out from a timer or microcontroller. For the loudest tones, stay around 4 KHz, but works quite well from 2KHz to 10KHz. For extra loudness, you can connect both pins to a microcontroller and swap which pin is high or low...

Add some extra boom to your audio project with these powered loudspeakers. We sampled half a dozen different models to find ones with a good frequency response, so you'll get quality audio output for music playback. Simply connect the standard 3.5mm stereo plug into your Raspberry Pi model B or B+, Wave shield, etc. There's even a volume control wheel on it so you can set it up just right. For power, plug the USB connector into anything...

Listen up! This set of two 2.8" x 1.2" speakers are the perfect addition to any audio project where you need 4 ohm impedance and 3W or less of power. We particularly like these speakers as they are small and enclosed for good audio volume and quality. The pair have a handy SPK input cable to add audio to your displays (the connectors are similar to the JST-PH series which is ~2.0mm spacing). We're specifically carrying...

Listen up! This 3" diameter speaker cone is the perfect addition to any audio project where you need an 4 ohm impedance and 3W or less of power. We particularly like this cone as it has 4 handy mounting tabs 60mm apart. Works great with our class D amplifier board. Speaker - 3" Diameter - 4 Ohm 3 Watt (0:01)

Listen up! This high power 4" diameter speaker will amp up any audio project where you need loud sound! It is 4 ohm impedance, rated for 20W continuous power. (This thing is really loud) It also has four handy mounting tabs 3 inches apart, and a grill that fits on top. The grill is to protect the cones, and is not necessary for use. This speaker has a nice wide range of 60Hz - 24kHz, which is pretty good for a speaker this large. Originally...

Listen up! This 3" diameter speaker cone is the perfect addition to any audio project where you need an 8 ohm impedance and 1W or less of power. We particularly like this cone as it has 4 handy mounting tabs 60mm apart. Works great with our Wave shield or class D amplifier board. Speaker - 3" Diameter - 8 Ohm 1 Watt (0:01)

Pipe audio in or out of your project with this very handy breadboard-friendly audio jack. It's a stereo jack with disconnect-switches on Left and Right channels as well as a center ground pin. You can use any 3.5mm stereo cable with this jack. The pins are on 0.1" spacing so it plugs very solidly into a breadboard, perma-proto or perf-board. Each order comes with one headphone jack, breadboard and audio cable not included!...

This large (30mm diameter) piezo element is nicely enclosed with mounting holes so you can attach easily. Piezo elements convert vibration to voltage or voltage to vibration. That means you can use this as a buzzer for making beeps, tones and alerts AND you can use it as a sensor, to detect fast movements like knocks. You can also use it under a drum pad to make a drum/crash sensor It's rated for up to 12Vpp use but you can also use 3 or 5V...

Hey want to hear a really loud noise? Apply 3V to 5V to this buzzer module and you'll be rewarded with a loud 2KHz BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Unlike a plain piezo, this buzzer does not need an AC signal. Inside is a piezo plus the driver circuitry that makes it oscillate at 2KHz. On one hand, that makes it really great for integrating into projects because you don't need an oscillating control signal. On the other hand, you cannot change the...

This small (14mm diameter) piezo element is nicely enclosed so you can attach easily. Piezo elements convert vibration to voltage or voltage to vibration. That means you can use this as a buzzer for making beeps, tones and alerts AND you can use it as a sensor, to detect fast movements like knocks. You can also use it under a drum pad to make a drum/crash sensor It's rated for up to 9Vpp use but you can also use 3V square waves and its...

These earbud headphones are the perfect accessory for your FONA - they've been tested to work with our modules - but can be used with any iOS or Android device that uses a TRRS pinout.  The buds themselves are 16mm in diameter with a nice 40" long.  They come with a standard 4-pole TRRS headphone jack and have a small microphone for phone calls. We may change the model up but for now they are 'OEM' Apple-looking...

One truth about working with audio is you always need the cable or adapter you don't have in your toolbox. That's why we love these terminal-block audio connectors so much. No soldering required! Use stranded or solid core wire and a small screw driver to create custom wiring jigs. This is the 3.5mm (1/8") Stereo Audio Jack Terminal Block . It's the most common size and style of audio connector, used in most headphones or basic...

Hear the good news! This wee speaker is a great addition to any audio project where you need 8 ohm impedance and 1W or less of power. We particularly like this speaker as it is small and comes with nice skinny wires with a connector on the end. It has a handy "Molex PicoBlade" 1.25mm pitch 2-pin cable, which makes plugging into a board easy. Or you can cut off the connector and just solder/clamp onto...

Hear the good news! This speaker is a great addition to any audio project where you need a 4 Ohm impedance and 3W or less of power. At 40mm diameter it has a more square-ish shape, but a smaller face. Sound quality and volume are nicely sandwiched between our Thin Plastic Speaker with Wires and the honkin' 20W 4 Ohm Full Range Speaker. This bite-sized speaker comes with two long color-coded wires to solder to or plug into a...

Hey, listen up! It's the world's smallest USB microphone! OK maybe it's not in the Guinness Record Book, but it is pretty darn small ! This plug-and-play Mini USB Microphone needs no driver, and its USB interface means you can use it with any computer, laptop, SBC, etc! Works great with a Raspberry Pi computer, but you can also use it with any other computer you want to record audio on. Simply plug it right in and you're...

The Andrea Superbeam Array-PA Microphone is a far-field, 2-microphone array with stereo output and superior quality and performance, designed for hearing and recognizing voices even in noisy environments. We tested it here in the Adafruit factory and it did a great job picking up our voice commands even when the machines were all running. The microphone is designed to work with the matching PureAudio voice command software. You install the...

Most modern headphone sets are purely digital - with three volume control buttons in-line with the cable. These headphones are interesting in that they have an analog volume control potentiometer. Perfect for use with electronic projects that don't have a volume control, or for phones that don't know how to use the digital buttons. There is one button on the headset, often used for 'pause' or 'mute' - when pressed it...
