Refer to Image 2.1 for the location of the following components:

• 3.5mm Audio Port: For standard audio input.
• 3P Audio Input: Alternative audio input terminals.
• Volume Adjustment: Rotary knob with integrated power switch.
• Green Power Indicator: Illuminates when the board is powered on.
• Right Channel Output: Speaker output terminals for the right channel.
• Left Channel Output: Speaker output terminals for the left channel.
• Power Input: Terminals for DC power supply.

2.2 Wiring Instructions

1. Power Supply Connection: Connect a DC power supply within the range of 4.5V to 26V (24V recommended) to the power input terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) to utilize the reverse connection protection.
2. Speaker Connection: Connect your 4-8 ohm speakers to the Left Channel and Right Channel output terminals. Ensure correct polarity for optimal sound.
3. Audio Input Connection: Connect your audio source (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to either the 3.5mm Audio Port or the 3P Audio Input terminals.

2.3 Important Considerations

• Heat Management: For prolonged operation or high power output, it is recommended to add additional heat sinks to the main chip to prevent overheating.
• Input Blending for Mono: If using a single (mono) speaker with a stereo input, you may need to blend the left and right input channels using resistors (e.g., 1k Ohm resistors on each channel, then connecting both ends to L-IN and R-IN terminals) to ensure both channels are fed to the mono output.

3. Operating Instructions

Once the amplifier board is correctly wired, follow these steps to operate it:

1. Power On: Rotate the volume adjustment knob clockwise until you hear a click. The green power indicator will illuminate, indicating the board is powered on.
2. Adjust Volume: Continue rotating the volume knob clockwise to increase the audio output volume. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease the volume.
3. Power Off: Rotate the volume adjustment knob counter-clockwise until you hear a click and the green power indicator turns off.

4. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your amplifier board, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect solder joints for any signs of looseness or damage. Re-solder if necessary.
• Dust Removal: Keep the board free from dust and debris, which can impede heat dissipation and affect component performance. Use compressed air or a soft brush for cleaning.
• Environmental Conditions: Operate the board in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture damage and ensure proper cooling.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your amplifier board, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

• No Sound or Low Volume:
  • Check all wiring connections, especially power supply and speaker outputs, for secure contact and correct polarity.
  • Ensure the audio source is playing and its volume is turned up.
  • Verify the power supply voltage is within the recommended DC 4.5V-26V range.
  • Confirm speakers are 4-8 ohm impedance.
• Hissing or Background Noise:
  • Ensure the audio input signal is strong enough. Weak analog input signals can sometimes result in a background hiss when amplified.
  • Check for proper grounding of your audio source and amplifier.
  • Consider adding a small capacitor between the Vin and Gnd of the audio input if hiss persists.
• Amplifier Shuts Down:
  • This could indicate activation of protection circuits (thermal, over-voltage, under-voltage, short-circuit).
  • Check for short circuits in speaker wiring.
  • Ensure the power supply voltage is stable and within the specified range.
  • Verify adequate ventilation and consider adding heat sinks if the board is overheating.
• Distorted Sound:
  • Reduce the input volume from your audio source.
  • Ensure speaker impedance matches the recommended 4-8 ohms.
  • Check for damaged speakers or loose connections.

If the problem persists after following these steps, contact customer support for further assistance.
