Sparkfun Spectrum Shield
About This Item
Get ready to take your Arduino projects to the next level with the Sparkfun Spectrum Shield. This powerful shield allows you to split a stereo audio input into 7-bands per channel, giving you full control over the amplitude of each channel using the ADC on your Arduino. With the Spectrum Shield, the possibilities are endless. You can use it to control LEDs, motors, pumps, relays, or any other electronic component - all with sound.
Imagine creating a sound visualizer that reacts to music, or adding sound activation to your microcontroller projects. This shield opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The Spectrum Shield features the MSGEQ7 graphic equalizer display filter, which allows you to split a stereo audio input into 7-bands per channel. This means you can analyze the amplitude of each band using the ADC on your Arduino.
The shield is equipped with two 1/8 stereo jacks – one for the stereo input and the other for a pass-through output. This allows you to connect the Spectrum Shield in-line between your audio source and your stereo system without any interruption. This updated version of the Spectrum Shield is designed to fit the Arduino R3 layout. Please note that soldering your own headers is required.
Don't worry, we have the recommended products section below to help you with that. This collaboration between Sparkfun and Ben Moyes of Bliptronics ensures that you are getting a high-quality product with excellent support and continued development. Plus, with each sale of this shield, a portion goes back to Ben Moyes and Bliptronics. Take your Arduino projects to new heights with the Sparkfun Spectrum Shield. Add sound visualization, music playback, or sound processing capabilities with ease.

SparkFun Equalizers DEV-13116 Editorial Review
** Sparkfun Spectrum Shield** The Sparkfun Spectrum Shield has garnered positive reception among electronics enthusiasts, particularly those engaged in audio projects with Arduino. Users appreciate the simplicity and efficiency of the circuit design, which facilitates quick setup and incorporation of audio spectral analysis into various projects. The inclusion of the MSGEQ7 ICs allows for stereo audio level reading, making it an ideal choice for lighting applications that respond reactively to music. Many reviewers highlighted that they could achieve music visualization projects effortlessly within minutes thanks to the accessible resources provided on the Sparkfun website. While the board’s ease of use is widely celebrated, there are minor criticisms worth noting. Some users expressed a desire for more flexibility with the pin configuration for resetting/strobing the ICs, as the fixed mapping may not suit every user’s setup. The spectral bands, while functional, were noted to have some overlap, and variances in gain across bands required users to adjust their Arduino software accordingly. Additionally, the absence of example code from the community and the lack of included headers or solder pins were mentioned as drawbacks. Nonetheless, the general sentiment is that the Sparkfun Spectrum Shield is an excellent tool for creating interactive audio projects. It has proven to be a fruitful investment for many, turning standard projects into impressive displays. The shield is recommended for anyone looking to enhance their audio-related projects with a straightforward and functional tool. **
