It can also be used to record audio in both PCM (WAV) and compressed Ogg Vorbis. You can do all sorts of stuff with the audio as well such as adjusting bass, treble, and volume digitally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this functionality is implemented in a light-weight SPI interface so that any Arduino can play audio from an SD card. There's also a special MIDI mode that you can boot the chip into that will read 'classic' 31250Kbaud MIDI data from an Arduino pin and act like a synth\/drum machine - there are dozens of built-in drum and sample effects! All of this bundled in a lovely shield, perfect for use with any Arduino Uno, Leonardo or Mega.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the shield includes an onboard 3W\/channel stereo audio amplifier that can drive 4 or 8 ohm speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures the VS1053B codec chip - decodes Ogg Vorbis, MP3\/MP2\/MP1, MP4, AAC, WMA, FLAC, WAV\/PCM, MIDI. Encodes Ogg or WAV\/PCM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo audio out with proper audio filter caps and ground reference so it can be safely connected directly to headphones, a stereo system or other powered speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 extra GPIO's that can be written or read through the Arduino Library for reading buttons or lighting LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroSD card socket, for any FAT16\/FAT32 formatted SD card from 64Mb or greater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 3.3\/5V level shifting for SD and MP3 chipsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with Arduino Uno, Mega, or Leonardo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt in MIDI synth\/drum machine with dozens of instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlenty of optional breakouts for pins like the card-detect and microphone input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach order comes with one fully-assembled and tested shield, 2 2-pin terminal blocks, a stick of 0.1\" male header and 2x3 female header for the ICSP connection. Some light soldering is required to attach the through-hole headers to the PCB for plugging into the Arduino as well as the terminal blocks for the speakers.
