	The ''programmable speaker'' is a [[circuit network]] entity that is capable of producing alerts in the form of sound, and elements on nearby players' ~~guis~~. It can be connected to the circuit network to produce an alert when a signal drops below a certain value, for example.

	As well as playing a sound, it can also be set to send a GUI text alert so the player can see what has caused the alarm. Both text and an icon can be specified, as seen in the check mark image above. In order to show an [[Alerts\|alert]] in players' GUIs, "Show alert" must be ticked. Additional options will be ~~shown~~ that allow the player to select an icon and text for the alert.		As well as playing a sound, it can also be set to send a GUI text alert of up to 150 characters so the player can see what has caused the alarm. Both text and an icon can be specified, as seen in the check mark image above. In order to show an [[Alerts\|alert]] in players' GUIs, "Show alert" must be ticked. Additional options will be enabled that allow the player to select an icon and text for the alert.

	The "Allow polyphony" check-box determines whether more than one sound may be played at once. Essentially, when hooking up a constant signal to a programmable speaker, with polyphony enabled, sounds will repeat extremely rapidly. (10 per second or so) Without polyphony, this is limited to about 1 per half second. Disabling polyphony is useful to avoid alerts being spammed and causing hearing damage. However, if producing music, polyphony may be needed.		The "Allow polyphony" check-box determines whether more than one sound may be played at once.

	The "Circuit value is pitch" check-box allows dynamically changing the pitch of the sound created by changing the circuit value. This is useful for music production. If the player simply wants a sound to be created whenever the conditional is met, they should disable this check-box.

	The volume of the programmable speaker can be controlled in the GUI. This determines the audio volume, and the carry distance if global playback is unticked. The range at full volume appears to be 64 tiles.		The volume of the programmable speaker can be controlled in the GUI.
