Using this surface transducer is a breeze. First, find a flat surface like a wall or a table. If you want to direct the sound, place the transducer at the end of a large plastic cup. You can also simply put it top - down on a table thanks to its heavy body. Connect it to an audio amp like the TS2012 breakout or MAX98306 just like you would with any other speaker. Note that as of Dec 19, 2023, it no longer comes with attached wires but has 3M double - sided tape on the bottom for mounting. For maintenance, keep it away from moisture and dust. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean it. Don't apply too much pressure as it might damage the internal components.
