Review on πŸ”Š RASPIAUDIO Audio DAC HAT Sound Card (Audio Speaker MIC) for Raspberry Pi Zero/A+/B+: Pi 3/4 Model B - Superior Quality Compared to USB by Garrett Craven

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent microphone sound quality

This is a nifty little device! It's easy to cut the mic and extend it with the included cable. Don't let the video on raspiaudio.com fool you either, the microphone is actually quite high quality. It records video at standard settings on an 8-bit unsigned dataset. Try recording myrecording.wav with arecord -f S16_LE -d10 -r44100 to get signed 44.1kHz big endian 16-bit (CD quality) audio. Speakers are fine too! Without problems we managed to connect two speakers of 5W 8 ohms. I wish there was a basic version of this board, but without buttons, LED and built-in speakers, so just microphone and audio out.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Too long wait times
