Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The device is simple, but getting real use from it takes some planning. You need to choose what to record, pick a picture or symbol, set the volume, and decide where to mount it. A family member or teacher can do all of that from written or video instructions in about half an hour. It doesn't need a clinical assessment, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Sound Bank Plus - Mirror records up to 30 seconds of sound and plays it back when pressed, with a mirror on its face so a child can watch themselves while they listen or speak. A snap-on clear cover holds a picture or symbol, so the same unit can serve as a phonics cue, a labeled choice, or part of a science display. You can pick one of three volume levels for a loud classroom or a quiet room, and a lock button keeps a recording from being erased by accident. It measures about 12 cm square and about 2 cm thick. It mounts on a wall with the built-in slot, or sticks to metal surfaces with its built-in magnets. It holds one message at a time, so it suits simple activities rather than conversation.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Peel the clear protective films off the cover and mirror, then snap the clear cover on over a picture or symbol if you want one.
    2. Record a message of up to 30 seconds, set the volume on the back to one of the three levels, and test the playback.
    3. Switch on the recording lock if the message should stay put, then mount it on a wall or a metal surface. Plan on about 15-30 minutes to get a good setup. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
