Abstract: A light system with synchronized audio playback is provided. The light system includes a printed circuit board having a light array and an audio system. The light array has a plurality of light sources disposed on a first side of the printed circuit board, wherein the plurality of light sources is able to display an animation, including an audio reactive animation. The audio system is able to stream audio from a local non-transitory memory through a digital-to-analog (DAC) amplifier for final playback through a speaker. The audio system is able to provide an analog signal to a microcontroller for sampling during the display of the audio reactive animations. A second audio channel from the DAC amplifier is used to sample the audio playback for performing audio reactive LED animations.
