11. Speaker

The speaker reproduces the sound effects of the gun. We recommend a 50 mm or larger speaker, to reproduce the sounds generated by the PCB (6) with decent volume and clarity.

4 or 8 ohm speakers can be used on the FragTag mainboard. Preferably the speaker should have a cone made of Mylar, as this provides better water resistance than paper cones. We still have had good success with paper cones so this is not a hard requirement.

The speaker should be mounted behind a grill, to let the sound out while still protecting the fragile cone from damage.

Example installations:

 

 

Some example speakers:

63 mm mylar

53mm paper cone (keep it dry!)
