Halloween / Audio

Adding quality audio to an electronic project is surprisingly difficult. Here is a shield for Arduino 328's that solves this problem. It can play up to 22KHz 12bit uncompressed audio files of any length. It's low cost, available as an easy-to-make kit. It has an onboard DAC, filter and op-amp for high quality output. Audio files are read off of an SD/MMC card, which...

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...

Bend all audio files to your will with the Adafruit Music Maker shield for Arduino! This powerful shield features the VS1053, an encoding/decoding (codec) chip that can decode a wide variety of audio formats such as MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, MIDI, FLAC, WAV (PCM and ADPCM). It can also be used to record audio in both PCM (WAV) and compressed Ogg Vorbis. You can do...

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)

Listen to this good news - we now have a breakout board for a super tiny I2S MEMS microphone. Just like 'classic' electret microphones, MEMS mics can detect sound and convert it to voltage, but they're way smaller and thinner. This microphone doesn't even have analog out, it's purely digital. The I2S is a small, low-cost MEMS mic with a range of about 50Hz - 15KHz,...

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...

Add some crisp and compact audio to your project with this Mini External USB 2.0 Speaker. It's USB-only and does not require or use a 3.5mm audio jack. You'll get great audio, even with a device that doesn't have a head phone jack. And since it is powered over USB, there's no need to charge it by other means, merely plug it into your desired device's USB port and...

Add an ear to your project with this well-designed electret microphone amplifier. This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone soldered on. For the amplification, we use the Maxim MAX4466, an op-amp specifically designed for this delicate task! The amplifier has excellent power supply noise rejection, so this amplifier sounds really...

Its a Wave shield party pack! Just add an Arduino to create your own iPod-killer, audio art, sound-effects box... Comes with: Latest Wave shield kit, works with more SD cards and with older NG Arduinos! Unassembled. 8 GB SD card (brand or size may change, but we test one of each kind to verify it works well). Speaker - 3" diameter (77mm), 8 ohm impedence, good...

Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve style audio cables are often used for situations where you want stereo audio and then an extra contact for a microphone input. For example, headsets for cell phones. Also called TRRS jacks for short, they're also handy if you happen to want to use common audio cables for low-speed data transmission with power, ground and two data lines. This...

Unleash the audio capabilities of your Raspberry Pi! The Cirrus Logic Audio Card, produced by Element14 in collaboration with Cirrus Logic, offers Raspberry Pi® users similar flexibility to a PC sound-card to capture audio alongside their camera, and experiment with stereo digital capture and playback. The Cirrus Logic audio board adds a powerful class D...

Discontinued - you can grab Adafruit I2S 3W Class D Amplifier Breakout - MAX98357A instead! This fully-featured UDA1334A I2S Stereo DAC breakout is a perfect match for any I2S-output audio interface. It's affordable but sounds great! The NXP UDA1334A is a jack-of-all-I2S-trades: you can use 3.3V - 5V logic levels (a rarity) and can process multiple different formats...
