Review on KNACRO TPA3116PBTL 100W Single Channel Digital Power Amplifier Board - High Power Audio Module by Debra Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good amplifier tpa3116, no extra garbage on the board, manufacturer sanwu

I know the tpa3118 and 3116 series chips well and love them. I stopped using class A and AB amps, they are that good. I need time to evaluate this board, but everything seems fine at first glance. works great, not much noise, default gain is set to a reasonable level and is made by sanwu, a good brand for this type of chip. There is nothing on the board that you would need to remove when integrating. with other boards I had to desolder the weld and a couple of connectors to be able to mount the board in my own chassis. it didn't have any of that crap, so it was a complete complement to existing projects. Nice little board too. The only downside is they don't give you a JST or Molex connector which is a line port. I've used sockets that are 0.1" apart and they match this plug well, but I would prefer they left that set of holes empty and allow us to install our existing plugs. I'll update the review if I find any issues, but so far so good. Description update: Two errors in the product description. ' are wrong and the speaker icon is shown (which is correct), but the speaker is NOT "DC power". . Does the seller really care? Do they check their ad copy or just send something without even caring about the accuracy? this is really a disservice to the buyer who may not know the circuit is wrong!

Pros
  • home audio
Cons
  • no machine
