High-performance audio modules for Raspberry Pi computers
Thanks to HiFiBerry's integrated modules, building an audio system based on Raspberry Pi single board computer is extremely easy, even for an amateur. This manufacturer's modules are designed as so called HAT overlays, which are boards placed on Raspberry Pi minicomputer and connect to interfaces available on 40-pin GPIO connector. This eliminates the need for soldering or other additional connections in the system, and makes installation of selected modules simple.
Sound cards with DAC converters
The basic element of a good quality audio track is the sound source. In case of digital systems that use, for example, a computer with saved files as the sound source, the key element is a digital to analogue converter (DAC) that changes the bit stream - a digital signal - into an analogue form that can be further processed, amplified etc. In our store you can find a range of HiFiBerry DACs dedicated to connect easily to Raspberry Pi single board computer. By using advanced high quality DAC converters, these modules will make any Raspberry Pi single board computer a source of high quality sound which any audiophile will be proud of.
High quality audio amplifiers in HAT modules
A large group of HiFiBerry modules present in our store are audio amplifiers. Devices of this type are the key component of most audio systems, because they allow to amplify sound to the level that allows to drive speakers. In the offer of Botland store you will find amplifier modules with power from a few watts to as much as 60 watts - such impressive power allows you to soundlessly amplify a medium-sized room, such as living room or bedroom in your apartment. Amplifiers supplied by HiFiBerry are mostly class D systems, so called digital amplifiers. Due to the fact that they use PWM (rectangular pulse fill) modulation for operation. The output keys of the amplifier generate very low losses, which means that the module itself is characterized by high energy efficiency.
Modules with microphones attached to Raspberry Pi
If we want to turn our single-board computer into a portable recording system or simply build a well-functioning voice assistant, a set of high-end microphones will be a key component of the system. We can find a number of such modules in HiFiBerry offer. Modules with microphones available in our store are dedicated mainly to voice applications, in particular AI and voice control systems. Modules supplied by HiFiBerry are equipped with from two to as many as six microphones, so the system will surely hear us from any direction.
Enclosures for Raspberry Pi computers with audio overlays
There are many enclosures available on the market dedicated to Raspberry Pi single board computers, however, the vast majority of them are not compatible with systems that have HAT modules placed on the minicomputer. This is particularly problematic if our single board computer is mounted with an overlay equipped with a number of connectors, as is the case with HiFiBerry's audio modules. Fortunately, this problem was anticipated by the producer of HAT modules dedicated to applications such as home audio systems. Our store offers a range of modules for Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero dedicated to mounting audio overlays in them. This way you can easily build a home audio system using Raspberry Pi and boards supplied by HiFiBerry.
