The Speaker Kit for Raspberry Pi is a great way of attaching a small amplified speaker to a Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi NOT included
The kit includes:
- MonkMakes Amplified Speaker
- Set of 10 female to female header wires to power the Amplified Speaker (only 2 needed)
- A short stereo audio lead
- A Raspberry Leaf GPIO template
Getting Started
- Fit the Raspberry Leaf GPIO template over the GPIO pins of your Raspberry Pi (Make sure you get it the right way around (see the picture above).
- Use the red female to female header lead to connect one of the pins labelled 5V (it doesn’t matter which) on the Raspberry Pi to the 5V pin of the Amplified Speaker.
- Use the black female to female header lead to connect one of the pins labelled GND (it doesn’t matter which) on the Raspberry Pi to the GND pin of the Amplified Speaker.
- Use the audio lead to connect the Raspberry Pi’s audio socket to the socket on the Amplified SPeaker board. Note that its a good idea to do this before you power up the Raspberry Pi, otehrwise it can cause the Raspberry Pi to reboot.
- Power up your Raspberry Pi
- Open a Terminal session on the Raspberry Pi and run the following commands to download an audio file and then play it.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- Matter
- A smart home connectivity standard designed to let devices work across different ecosystems. It matters if you want a project to integrate more easily with platforms such as Apple Home, Google Home, or other Matter-compatible systems.
