Onboard amplification for a small speaker, plus line-level output for connection to your own amplifier (such as store PA system, house amplifier, etc). You can record from either the onboard condensor mic, or in from your own mixer or amplifier!

Power supply: 12vDC, consumes no more than 100mA when operating, and only 28mA in standby mode.

Allows you to quickly record up to six separate messages, and playback each one, both separately, and in a programmable order! There are four different playback modes.

Mode 1 lets you playback any of the six messages once per button-press. To hear message one once, press SW1.

Mode 2 is the same, only it will loop again and again, until you press the stop button.

Mode 3 allows you to play any combination of messages in an order you choose, for example, if message one is "have a nice day," and message two is "please come again," then you could program it to playback message one, followed by message two, then message one again. You simply press the stop button, and your series of messages will play: "Have a nice day, please come again, have a nice day." You can have it play any of your messages in any order up to 7 all together!

Mode 4 is the same as 3, only it will loop your series of messages until you press stop again!

This kit can be combined with any of our relay kits. If you wanted to say have this message recorder module in your store, you could easily wire up relay kit QK130, an infrared barrier kit, which you could have in your store's doorway. When the beam is broken, by a person walking through the doorway, the relay is closed. You could simply run two wires from the relay to the pushbutton of your "Have a nice day" message, SW1, and it would greet your customers for you!

You could also use an Ultrasonic Motion Detector relay kit FK508 to trigger another message, such as a person walking by one of your displays, and it triggers message three, "Try our new Orange Juice today!" But, of course, this is all over the same sound system or speaker.

The audio chip has a 100 year message retention, and an average rerecording capability of 100 000 cycles. It stores in its memory up to 90 seconds of audio record time altogether, not for each (up to 6) independant message.
This module uses an ISD device. Usually ships with the ISD2590. This device has a very limited bandwidth so any requirements that call for high end response will not be meet. When the module is in playback and searching for the next message a slight click can be heard. Any background noise usually makes this undetectable. But if you are fussy then you may not be happy. The ISD chips were made to store speech in portable message recorders and as such have suitable bandwidth for this task. In other words things like speech are fine but music or sound clips may be another issue if they have a lot of high frequency component.
