Multi-channel Sound Card?

Sensors Sound & Audio
1

I’m about to begin an audio project and have zero experience

working with sound cards and such. I am planning to have three

microphones on a set of Mandalorian armor, two microphones on the

outside attached to single speakers inside my helmet (so I may retain stereo style

hearing) and one microphone inside my helmet to broadcast to a speaker

outside the armor.

I was wondering if there is a card that could handle all three of the functions in one, or if I would have to have three separate cards to function each microphone/speaker combination. I am also trying to find something closer to an omnidirectional microphone and I’m concerned that the microphone I’ve added will not suffice. I have currently added the

following cards and microphones to my shopping cart as well as various supporting parts from a tutorial I found.

3X SPARKFUN ELECTRET MICROPHONE BREAKOUT [1]

In stock [2] BOB-12758

3X TEENSY 3.2 [3]

In stock [2] DEV-13736

3X TEENSY PROP SHIELD LC [4]

Only 10 left! [2] DEV-13996

Side not, for now the use of the microphone and such will be with dials, but eventually I will want to hook up the system to a Raspberry Pi Single board computer so I can run everything from my gauntlet computer.

Hello Llorensam, thanks for posting.

We don’t have any multi channel boards that accept audio input, but if you’re looking for multi channel output, the [Tsunami would be worth looking at.

For what you’re looking to do, I don’t think you need any audio boards at all, you should be able to accomplish something like this by just using some audio amplifiers to drive speakers and use the microphone breakouts as audio inputs to the amps.

You could probably use a few [Noisy Cricket boards along with some speakers to get this running. That way you don’t need to write a bunch of code and do audio processing inside a microcontroller.](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14475)](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13810)
