Musixel Boom Box

The Musixel is a board designed to interpret the frequencies in music or sounds and generate a light-show on up to 64 addressable LEDs. The Musixel has a few modes built-in, one of them is a 'Graphic Equalizer' styled visualizer that is more than just a little cool. In this project it runs an 8x8 matrix for a stunning visual in time with your music.





For this version of the Musixel BoomBox we made a laser cut acrylic box. You can download the cut file here.. Don't have a laser cutter, no worries, you can also make a Musixel BoomBoxes out of cardboard and use hot-glue to glue it together, they sound and look great!

Here is a list of the parts we recommend (you can find them below):

  • 1x LED Matrix 64 LEDs (8x8) WS2812 LEDs
  • 1x SpikenzieLabs Musixel (Board only)
  • 1x 5v 2amp AC adapter
