Pinball Sound Upgrade · DIY Project

Best Audio for your Pinball Machine

TILT!Audio replaces the sound card of your pinball machine and lets you pep up your game with completely new sounds. The effect is huge – especially with movie or music themed pins, where you can play the original film soundtrack or the artist's CDs while you flip.

TILT!Audio board revision 3.10 – bare PCB

A project, not a plug’n’play product

TILT!Audio is not a ready-to-use product that simply replaces the old sound card – it is a project you build yourself. You order the DIY kit, add a Raspberry Pi and some wiring, and assemble your own modern sound board.

Everything is open: take a look at the schematics and the latest PCB or export gerbers to build the board completely on your own – the hardware is hosted on OSHWLab.
