This small stereo amplifier delivers 2 x 2.1W into 4Ω speakers with 10% THD and operates between 2.7V-5.5VDC. It’s highly efficient (89%) and ideal for portable projects. The amp includes thermal and over-current protection. It uses differential inputs with 1.0µF capacitors and bridge-tied outputs, which prevent high-frequency sounds from being heard. It comes fully assembled with a mini DIP switch for adjusting gain, and 3.5mm screw terminals for speaker connections. Compatible with 4Ω or 8Ω impedance speakers.
