DESCRIPTION

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 very 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 the Audio FX Sound

Board + 2x2W Amp.  And our Wave Shield is a dependable classic.  But you either

need an Arduino or they might be a little too big and powerful for your needs.  So

after a lot of engineering and tinkering we've come out with

the Adafruit MINI Sound Board, the fastest way to add audio effects to a project,

with a small footprint. We think this is the best sound board 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 required! It is completely stand-alone,

just needs a 3 to 5.5VDC battery

• Small - only 1.5" x 0.9"

• 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. If you don't need as much space, we also have a 2MB

version.

• 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
