The Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board with 2×2W Amp is a standalone audio trigger with a built-in stereo Class D amplifier — no Arduino or programming required. Simply drag and drop WAV or OGG sound files over USB, wire up buttons and speakers, and you're ready to go. With 16 MB of built-in flash, it holds approximately 15 minutes of compressed stereo audio.

The integrated 2×2W stereo amplifier drives 4–8 ohm speakers directly with only 1% distortion, eliminating the need for an external amp. Stereo line-level output is also broken out for headphone use. The board has 11 trigger inputs and measures 1.9" × 0.85".
