There are two versions, a 6-mic Circular Array and a 4-mic Linear Array . This new addition of ReSpeaker series will turn your Raspberry Pi and your projects into the voice-enabled powerhouse. Plus, you can also extend a scope of your projects by implementing Grove sensors which are also supported. We also have provided you an unboxing video below -don’t forget to check it out!

Let us walk through some of the details of our new products, both of Seeed’s ReSpeaker 6-Mic Circular and 4-Mics Linear Array Kits for Raspberry Pi are extension boards, also known as shields, designed for Raspberry Pi.
