Another picture, since I did not know how to attach more than one.
The vol pot fits perfectly well where the red panel IR sensor used to be.

Very nice Cheric. I love the big Obbligato caps. The picture makes them look tiny. That's an impressive first project.

Lightbulb Very Portable HIFI

I had an idea last time when i was at the beach listning to my micro speakers ( Class D 2X2 watt Eutech IC )

I thought, this can be better, but it should still be a small efficient amplifier as it will be battery powered.

So i went to the market and bought a small black housing and tried to fit one of my TA2024 PCB's in there

Ofcource, it didnt fit hehe so i had to remove 1 MM of PCB at both sides to make it fit

Also bought 3 X 3.7 volts 1000mA polymer cells and a protection PCB for charge and distcharge protection.

so 12 volts all together to power the PCB, 2 3.5 mm Connections, one input, one output simple switch on the front side, and a blue LED above the power switch.

The result is a light weight durable and well sounding ampifier
now i need to design and make some speakers, i aready have 2 5 watt speakers that look very nice, with rare earth magnets and a very nice suspention.... ill keep you guy's posted!

This is the inside without batteries lucky me, those polymer batteries are very thin!

Could you tell me the maximum voltage of the fully charged polymer batteries? I've been wanting to try them for a while.

4.2v I think...

Arjen: Put me down for 4 tripath boards.

I'll send you an e-mail.

Hi Arjen,

I may order some boards (although I have a large backlog of PCBs and kits yet to finish and task!) but how about selling on some of those cases and knobs? It seems to be hard to find good-looking cheap ones in the UK

You should try some better input and feedback resistors, seem to make a difference with top end sparkle.
I've teamed mine up with a 12V , 6A power supply, also from SURE , turned up to 13.5V (so far)...
I have removed the second stage of the output filter and put a single cap across the speaker terminals at the moment, (haven't listened yet)
I really like these boards...

I know this is a newbie question, but I am...

I noticed that you put 3 large yellow capacitors in the speaker connectors and there is a blue cable connected on the right hand side of the box for ground.

Can you please let me know why those capacitors are needed, what values should I pick and where to connect them it's not easy to see this in the picture you provided, I barely see the connections and I'm not sure.

As you are not using a pot, do you need a preamp to use the amp?

Where should I connect the ground cable?

Please don't laugh... Thanks!
