✨ Key Features
- Amplification: PAM8610 (Class-D) stereo amplifier providing 2x 10W output power.
- 4-Layer PCB Stackup: 4-layer board design with dedicated power and ground planes:
- F.Cu (Top): Signal + GND fill
- In1.Cu (Inner 1): GND fill
- In2.Cu (Inner 2): Power
- B.Cu (Bottom): Secondary signal + GND fill
- Supply Voltage Range: from 9V to 12V DC via standard DC05 DC Barrel Jack.
- Volume & Power Control: 10K logarithmic potentiometer with an ON/OFF switch.
- Connections: 3.5 mm AUX stereo input jack and screw terminal blocks for Left (L) and Right (R) speakers.
- Clean sound: Bulk 2200 µF electrolytic decoupling capacitor on power supply lines + LC output filters (33µH inductors) for ripple noise reduction and high signal fidelity.

Questions
How big is the AudioAmpV1 PCB?
It measures 52.1 × 75.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the AudioAmpV1 use?
45 parts, built around the PAM8610TR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the AudioAmpV1 KiCad files?
From the Stylt1/audio-amp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/AudioAmpV1.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/AudioAmpV1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the AudioAmpV1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Stylt1 before reusing the design.
