adjusted in accordance with the amplifiers gain.
speaker output
2 pin layout speaker terminal. Do not attempt to bridge
externally. The minimum load is 1 Ω .
Any connection below 1 Ω is not warranted. The amp can’t be
strapped or bridged in any way either.
This circuit design will have a high output voltage on BOTH
speaker terminals, even after the amplifier has been shut of
for a while. For any connections or changes in configuration,
do measure if voltage is still present prior to doing so. This
will avoid potential shorted circuits.
