The LM386 Audio Amplifier Module is a simple analog audio amplifier board built around the LM386 low power amplifier IC, accepting a direct analog audio signal as input and delivering up to 0.5W of amplified mono output to a small speaker, powered from any supply between 4V and 12V DC. Unlike the digital audio modules — which require I2S connections, Bluetooth pairing, or serial commands from a microcontroller plug in a phone headphone jack, connect an audio jack cable, or feed in a microphone signal, and the board amplifies it directly to speaker level with no code and no microcontroller required.
The lm386 audio amplifier board’s 4V to 12V supply range is the widest of any audio module in the lineup — it runs from 4 AA batteries (6V), or a 5V USB supply, giving builders flexibility to power it from whatever battery or supply in the project. This lm386 audio amplifier is often the first amplifier module use in electronics learning, the wiring is minimal: power, ground, audio input, and speaker output are all that are needed to get sound from a speaker.
The lm386 amplifier module’s 0.5W output is suitable for small personal-volume speakers in enclosed project boxes, alarm builds, and STEM learning demonstrations where loud output is not needed. Available from StemVolt, this lm386 audio amplifier module is ideal for students and beginners.
