JQ6500 16MB MP3 Sound Module Kit with Button Speaker

JQ6500 MP3 Sound Module Kit

The JQ6500 MP3 Sound Module is a compact programmable audio board suitable for electronics projects, custom sound effects and Xbox 360 power/eject sound applications.

It provides a standalone way to store and play custom MP3 files, giving you more flexibility than programming short sounds directly into a console’s original audio circuit.

This version includes 16MB onboard flash memory, allowing longer or higher-quality sound files to be stored depending on bitrate and file size.

Ideal for Xbox 360 Custom Sound Projects

The JQ6500 can be used as an alternative to older sound-programming boards for custom:

• Power-on sounds
• Power-off sounds
• Eject sounds
• Button-triggered audio
• Custom console sound effects

The kit also includes a button speaker, which can be used with the module or as a replacement for the original console speaker where suitable.
