A real-time voice changer for cosplay, plus lights, sound and motion, from one small box.

We’re aiming to launch before the end of the year, but the exact timing depends on how much interest the project gets. Strong demand lets us push production and ship sooner. Everyone on the list gets an email the moment preorders open, and again when units ship.

No. There’s no payment and no obligation. We only take your email so we can tell you when preorders open. Unsubscribe any time with one click.

The kit prices under “Get yours” (€209 bare board · €239 Compact · €269 Exciter Mini) are indicative, based on an initial run of at least 1,000 units. The final price may move down or up with the actual preorder volume, since bigger batches cost less per unit, so more interest means a better price. Nothing is charged now; we’ll confirm final pricing before any payment.

We ship anywhere carriers can reliably and legally deliver; a small number of regions where that isn’t possible are excluded. Shipping cost and any import duties or VAT are the buyer’s responsibility and depend on your country.

Really. Strips, servos, fans and speakers attach with crimp connectors, and the cable set is included. Everything is configured from the built-in display and joystick, or from your phone via the Web UI. Firmware, effects and presets are ready out of the box. You can still solder if you prefer: solder-pad breakout boards for the mic and button-module connectors are in the box too, since builds vary and plenty of DIY makers are happy with an iron.

Your Exciter in the chosen enclosure (or the bare board), plus the cable set to wire everything up: two microphones on 1.5 m cables, wrist button modules each with their own cable, servo cables (Dupont), two types of addressable-LED cable with an assortment of crimp terminals for different strip models, and speaker and fan cables with crimp terminals. The mic and button-module cables come with spare crimp connectors, then cut to length and crimp to fit your build, and solder-pad breakout boards for those connectors are included if you’d rather solder. For plain PWM LEDs you get cables with free ends (there’s no single standard, too many LED types and uses). And, of course, instructions to get you going.

Two ports for addressable LED strips (5 V): WS2812, WS2811, SK6812, APA102, SK9822 and WS2801, plus two PWM channels for plain LEDs (up to 60 mA each), three servo outputs and a PWM fan output. Each addressable output currently drives up to 128 LEDs per strip (a limit set by the memory and power budget). Need more? Let us know, it can be raised.

Yes, a regular USB power bank works (plain 5 V or USB-C PD), as does any 4.5–13 V source. Higher input voltage means more power available to the speaker: if 5 V isn’t enough to drive a bigger, louder speaker, use a supply up to 13 V or a USB-C PD power bank, and the board requests a 12 V profile automatically. Pick whatever suits your build.

Three ways: the onboard 0.96″ display with a joystick, wrist-worn button modules (4- or 6-button) for switching presets blind, and the Web UI from your phone. The board raises its own Wi-Fi access point, or can be connected to any existing Wi-Fi network.

Yes. Exciter pairs with Bluetooth headsets: use the headset’s mic as your voice input and listen through its earpiece, and it can act as a headset itself for your phone or PC. It supports the full range of Bluetooth profiles, and inputs and outputs are freely routable, so you can listen and broadcast through whatever combination you need.

Yes. Load files onto the microSD card, stream from your phone over Bluetooth, or pipe audio from a PC over USB. The board also works as a USB sound card.

Same board and features in every one. The Bare-board kit is just the PCB with the connection cables, for embedding into your own build. The Compact kit is the slim cased version (no built-in speaker; its 12 W amp drives an external one) with a velcro mount. The Exciter Mini kit is the complete cased unit with a built-in 5 W speaker and a belt clip. See the full comparison under “Technical specifications”.

Yes, the firmware is updatable, and roadmap features (wireless button modules, costume-to-costume walkie-talkie) ship as free updates when they’re ready.

Every unit is tested before it ships to rule out defects. If something is faulty on arrival, we’ll replace it: send the board back and we ship you a new one. For longer-term issues, since real-world use is hard to verify against the operating conditions, we handle warranty replacements case by case, but a good experience matters more to us than squeezing profit, so we’ll always work with you.
