Hello all.

A bit of a leftfield question here.
I'm hosting a gameshow night to raise some funds for a charity.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BJVQ7J4S?ref=ppx_yo2...

( It will be used quarterly. Audience about 25-40 people max )

I bought some game show push buttons - which can record and replay sounds.
But the playback volume is less than the volume recorded.

First event only needs 2 buzzers,
I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful way to amplify the signal ( analogue or digital ) - so that the audience can hear the buzzer sound.

Is it as simple as remove tinny speaker, solder in an RCA jack - and connect to cheapy amp/speaker with some kind of volume control.

Budget is on a shoestring.


I do have a kiddies Karaoke machine that is suitable for voice amplfication - but the buzzer is way too quiet.

Any help is much appreciated.

Dump the buzzers you have. Get a pair of plunger switches screwed to boards, choose what you want loads out there including light up, arcade cab switches upwards basically size wise. Wire up to 12v car battery, lights and whatever noise maker you want up to and including a car horn or two. Cost will be sub £50 and will last you forever.
