Talking Skull Products

All of our talking skull products use the Scary Terry Audio Servo Driver for their sound synchronization.

The circuit inside the skull allows you to easily hook up audio to the circuit board to drive a servo for animating the jaw of your prop. Easily create a prop with that highly sought after animatronics effect!

Operates off of a 5 to 24VDC supply. The unit comes with a 4-AA battery holder to operate it off of batteries, but you can use your own 5 to 24VDC supply instead.  The unit has an 3.5mm (1/8" stereo) style audio input that can be driven by just about any CD player, Tape Deck, MP3 player, etc. (audio cable is not included).

Switches on the Scary Terry Audio Servo Driver board allow you to choose the Left, Right, or both audio channels to drive the servo in the skull.

 

Key Benefits

  • Great looking animation!
  • No programming required!
  • Low cost!
  • Small size - approx. 3" x 2.5"!
