• Turn your Pi into a Lilliputian ghetto blaster with Speaker pHAT! I2S audio DAC with 3W mono amplifier (MAX98357A) 8Ω 2W Mylar speaker 10 bright white bar graph LEDs Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W.

Speaker pHAT crams an I2S DAC and mono amplifier, a tiny 8Ω 2W speaker, and a 10 LED bar graph all onto one teeny little pHAT. It's the neatest way to add audio to you Pi project, and its beautiful artwork evokes an 80s boombox! We can't cl audiophile sound quality, but it's perfect for fun little projects where you want to add sound output - speech, notification sounds, or light music, for example. It comes as a kit, so you'll have to solder on the female 40 pin header, and screw and solder the speaker on. Check out our assembly guide for more details. - https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/assembling-speaker-phat Kit includes * Speaker pHAT * 8Ω 2W Mylar speaker * 2x20 pin female header * 5cm 24AWG bare wire * 4x M2x8 black nylon bolts * 8x M2 black nylon nuts Software Our installer configures ALSA to output sound through the DAC on Speaker pHAT, and installs a custom plugin to display sound level on the bar graph LEDs. Find details of how to run the one-line installer in the Speaker pHAT GitHub repo - https://github.com/pimoroni/speaker-phat Notes * The DAC sums the two audio channels to mono, rather than just outputting one channel or the other, meaning that you get both channels of audio out of the single speaker * Speaker pHAT won't fit on top of a Pibow Coupé or Pibow Zero due to the height of the speaker, and you won't be able to use a heat sink for the same reason. * It's important that you use four of the included eight nuts as spacers to space the speaker slightly away from the PCB. Not doing this, and having the speaker cone touching the PCB, can result in sound degradation and even damage to the speaker.
