In addition to the standard continuous-play mode, the SoundBrick 500 can also offer
message play only when remotely activated by connecting devices such as buttons,
switches, or motion sensors to the optional 1/8” mini-plug trigger cable.
The SoundBrick 500 is the most versatile digital player of its kind, with a list of
features that includes:
9User-selectable 3.5KHz, 7.0KHz, and 7.0E KHz bandwidth
94, 8, 16, or 32 minutes of messages

9Continuous or triggered message play
9Modern plastic case design
9User-friendly controls and indicators
9Wall-mountable
9Separate 8Ωand 1KΩRCA output jacks
