Audio Hacker Shield Kit for Arduino

Solder together this Audio Hacker Shield for Arduino and place on top of an Arduino UNO to create cool new audio effects by mixing samples, manipulating recorded audio and synthesizing completely new sounds through electronics.

The Audio Hacker Shield is used to perform realtime digital signal processing. Record audio samples into memory and play them back. Mix samples, manipulate audio, build audio effects, or synthesize entirely new sounds. All with Arduino programming!

Technical Details

• High quality 12-bit Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Converters onboard
• Realtime ADC sampling
• Output to DAC: 44.1 kHz.
• 256K SRAM for recording/playback of audio samples. No SD card is needed! High-speed SRAM allows fast access to audio data for realtime processing and mixing.
• Record about 9 seconds of high quality audio at 22 kHz with 12-bit resolution to SRAM. Much longer samples can be recorded at lower frequency and/or resolution.
• TS922IN op-amp provides high current output and up to 100X gain preamp for weak inputs.
• Two onboard buttons for input, bypass switch, volume knob.
• Connection for 3V battery backup to retain samples in memory.
• Compatible with
• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Duemilanove
• Arduino Mega
• Arduino Leonardo
• Uses digital pins 5-13
• Easy to assemble soldering kit
