Dual-Microphone HAT for Raspberry Pi
The ReSpeaker 2-Mics HAT is a passive expansion board that adds dual-microphone capture to Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, 3B+, 3B, 2B, 1B+ and Zero. It uses the WM8960 stereo codec and includes two microphones positioned on opposite sides of the board for far-field pickup up to 3 metres. Three APA102 RGB LEDs, one user button and two Grove interfaces for GPIO and I2C expansion are also provided. Audio output is available through a 3.5 mm jack or a JST 2.0 speaker connector.
Makers adding voice control to Pi projects
This board suits developers building smart speakers, voice assistants or audio sensors that integrate Alexa Voice Service, Google Assistant or custom wake-word engines. The dual-mic array and on-board codec simplify far-field capture without external DSP hardware. Builders who need more than two microphones, higher channel counts or a different form factor should look at alternative audio HATs or USB microphone arrays.
Two channels with far-field reach
The dual-microphone array comfortably handles near-field commands and far-field speech up to 3 metres in quiet to moderate noise. Two Grove ports give headroom for adding sensors or actuators without consuming the Pi’s GPIO header. The single user button and three LEDs cover basic status and control needs. Projects requiring beam-forming across larger arrays, multi-room synchronisation or professional-grade SNR will exceed the board’s two-channel design.
