✨ Key Features

• Powerful Amplification: High-efficiency PAM8610 (Class-D) stereo amplifier providing 2x 10W output power (into 8Ω).
• 4-Layer PCB Stackup: 4-layer board design with dedicated power and ground planes for superior thermal dissipation, low EMI, and minimal signal crosstalk:
  • F.Cu (Top): Component placement & signal routing
  • In1.Cu (Inner 1): Solid Ground Plane (GND)
  • In2.Cu (Inner 2): Power Plane (+12V / VCC)
  • B.Cu (Bottom): Signal & secondary power routing
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: Operates reliably from 9V to 12V DC via standard 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC Barrel Jack.
• Integrated Volume & Power Control: Quality 10K logarithmic potentiometer with an integrated ON/OFF switch.
• Robust Connections: 3.5 mm AUX stereo input jack and heavy-duty green screw terminal blocks for Left (L) and Right (R) speakers.
• Clean Audio Architecture: Bulk 2200 µF electrolytic decoupling capacitor on power supply lines + LC output filters (33µH/22µH inductors) for ripple noise reduction and high signal fidelity.
• Compact & Mountable: M2 mounting holes, precise silkscreen labeling, and integrated decorative QR code.
