The "Barry-Box" is a sound processing unit that will allow your BBC Micro to record, store and play back audio samples. 

The unit plugs into the 1MHz bus thus leaving the analogue and user ports free for other applications. A ROM is also supplied and needs to be plugged into a spare language socket. 

The main unit has two knobs that control the input and output volume. Additionally three 3.5mm jack plugs enable an external speaker, microphone and auxiliary power supply to be connected. The device originally sold for £79.95 in 1985. 

The Barry Box was featured in the May 1986 issue of BEEBUG Magazine (p.13).
