JustBoom Amp HAT Kit

The JustBoom Amp HAT kit is a fully plug-and-play package that is simple to setup and use. No soldering or technical knowledge is needed to get up and running. Plug in the power cable, connect the kit to a set of passive speakers and set up the JustBoom Player software. You can then be up and running quickly, enjoying flawless high quality audio playback within minutes of unboxing.
