Monkmakes Amplified Speaker V2 Board

The Monkmakes Amplified Speaker V2 Board is a compact, mono speaker module on a PCB, designed to add high-quality sound to single-board computer and microcontroller projects. It accepts a 3.5mm stereo jack audio input and delivers a maximum power output of 500mW through its integrated speaker.

Overview

The board mixes the stereo input signal to mono for clear output through the integrated speaker. For Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) applications, header pins are provided for both a direct line-in connection and a low-pass filtered input, offering flexibility for clean sound reproduction from digital audio sources.

Key Features

• 3.5mm stereo jack audio input, mixed to mono output
• Header pins for line-in and low-pass filtered (PWM) input
• 500mW maximum speaker power
• 8Ω impedance
• Operates on a 3.3V to 6V DC supply
• Pre-soldered components for a plug-and-play solution

Power and Compatibility

The module can be powered directly from the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi or the power rail of an Arduino board. It is designed for Raspberry Pi and Arduino projects and removes the need to build an audio amplifier circuit from scratch.

Dimensions and Weight

The board measures 2.6 in width, 1.35 in depth and 3.65 in height, with a weight of 20 g.

Applications

The Amplified Speaker V2 Board is suited to talking devices, interactive exhibits, sound-enabled gadgets, educational tools and simple prototypes, alerts or multimedia projects where reliable audio feedback is required.
