I've done this before, using a couple different hardware platforms.

The last time I did a setup with audio I used the MedeaWiz Sprite repeaters but those required separate amplified speakers. It got to be a bunch of stuff crammed under each station!

The PicoBoo controller from FrightProps also makes for a very versatile audio player for exhibits like this, with the added benefit that it can do things like turn on one or two lights timed to the audio playback. Just ignore its ominously black and neon green exterior (you can hide it!). All you need to add then is the speakers as it has an internal amplifier, and being that it's designed to drive haunted house props, it can be pretty loud if you need it to be...

Hi there Museum Folks!

My Museums and Communities university class is putting together an exhibit with a local museum, specifically for people with disabilities. We plan to have approximately 16 artifacts with a station for each with printed material, braille, and 3D printed reproductions.

We would also like to record apps 20-30 seconds of information for each artifact to play as well. Do you have any ideas for vendors or supplies, or in-house creation of these with some (not too complicated or expensive) tech?

Thanks in advance!
