The Adafruit Sound Board is the easiest way to add audio effects to your project without requiring any microcontroller or complex programming. Perfect for small and portable projects like props, costumes, toys, and more, this stand-alone sound board makes triggering sounds simple and hassle-free.
Key Features:
- No Microcontroller Needed: This board operates completely stand-alone with just a 3 to 5.5V DC battery.
- Compact Size: Small enough to fit in tight spaces, measuring only 1.9" x 0.85".
- Built-in Storage: 2MB of storage for audio files—no SD card required! For more space, a 16MB version is available.
- Mass Storage USB: Plug the board into your computer with a micro USB cable, and drag and drop your audio files just like a USB drive.
- Audio Formats: Supports both compressed Ogg Vorbis files and uncompressed WAV files.
- High-Quality Sound: Supports 44.1KHz, 16-bit stereo audio with the ability to handle various bit/sample rates.
- Multiple Triggers: Connect up to 11 buttons or switches to trigger audio files to play. Each trigger can activate different sounds.
- Stereo Line Out: Can be connected to headphones, powered speakers, or amplifiers for loud, clear sound. A version with a built-in stereo speaker amplifier is also available.

Five Trigger Effects: Rename your audio files for different types of triggers:
- Basic Trigger: Plays audio when the corresponding button is pressed.
- Hold Looping Trigger: Plays audio as long as the button is held down.
- Latching Loop Trigger: Plays audio once when the button is pressed and continues until the button is pressed again.
- Play Next Trigger: Plays up to 10 files in order, one after another, with each button press.
- Play Random Trigger: Plays up to 10 files in random order on each button press.
- No MP3 Support: This board doesn’t play MP3s, but it supports the Ogg Vorbis format (patent-free) and is easy to convert MP3s to Ogg.
- Ideal for Props and Costumes: This board is designed for projects where audio needs to be triggered in a portable, stand-alone form.
Power Options:
- Can be powered by a 3-5V DC source, such as a 3xAAA battery pack or a LiPoly battery. You can also use the LiPoly Backpack for a rechargeable effects solution.
With simple triggers, high-quality sound, and no need for an Arduino or complex programming, the Adafruit Sound Board is the best solution for anyone looking to add audio effects to their next project.
