Ultra Low Power Audio Recorder Module

Order Code GPAR12B

The GPAR12B audio recorder and playback module is a high quality product intended for use by OEMs. It offers substantially better audio quality and battery life compared to regular recorder modules due to its use of high quality audio components and our unique REAF filing system.

As per other GPAR recorder modules, the GPAR12B achieves true 16-bit mono or stereo recording from either a line-level (96dB) or mic-level (93dB) source. It is designed for use with small electret capsules (e.g. Knowles) and can drive headphones or interface to other devices at line-level.

Two control interfaces are provided, switch-contact and serial. Using the switch-contact interface, the module can be used as a stand-alone recorder with just the addition of a power source, microphone and switch. Using the logic-level RS232 serial port interface, the module can be integrated with a host system such as a microcontroller.
