You are buying a MSI MSGEQ7 Seven band graphic equalizer breakout board. Here is the datasheet: http://www.mix-sig.com/images/datasheets/MSGEQ7.pdf The MSGEQ7+MOSFET breakout board is very interesting! Most people using the MSGEQ7 want to control lights with it. This board combines a MSGEQ7 with three MOSFETs. The MOSFETs are like little relays (switches) that can turn things on and off. We chose high-power MOSFETs capable of switching power to 15m (45 feet) of RGB lights. If you want to create your own light show that synchronizes to your music then this one board is all you need! The 8-pin header connects to your project's brains (Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc.). You can connect a 12V power supply to the INPUT screw terminals and your RGB light strings to the OUTPUT screw terminals. 5m / 15 feet of LED lights => 12V 5A power supply 10m / 30 feet of LED lights => 12V 10A power supply 15m / 45 feet of LED lights => 12V 15A power supply This assumes you'll want all LED's on at one time, producing white light (red+green+blue = white). If these are for party lights then not all LED's are on at the same time so you can probably use smaller power supplies (e.g. 12V 2A for a single 5m / 15 foot string). The board uses three N-channel MOSFETs. While each MOSFET can each handle up to 32 Amps, the board and connectors are the limiting factors. You can switch all 15 Amps through one output, or spread the current through all three MOSFETs - as long as the total current through the board does not exceed 15 Amps. You may damage the board or connectors if you exceed this limit. The MOSFETs are turned on by putting a high signal (2.5V or higher) on S1, S2 or S2. In Arduino, you do this with "digitalWrite(3, HIGH)". You can also dim the connected LEDs by using PWM. In Arduino, if you want 26% brightness you do this with "analogWrite(3, 256 * 26 / 100)". Sample application for Arduino can be found here: https://github.com/engineertype/MSGEQ7_MOSFET Both the LEFT and RIGHT channels are fed into the MSGEQ7. This gives a good representation of what is heard by your ears.
