Q:
Do you have a pictorial exploded view of how to assemble the mono amplifier circuit
Thank you
Thank you
A:
Hi John, Unfortunately the only example of how to build the item is via the build instructions. However Eggar's school produce this scale model of the Mono amp kit at 8 times the normal size, I hope this gives a better idea for you https://www.kitronik.co.uk/blog/gallery-mono-amp-training-aid-eggars-school/

Q:
Can I use the prebult mp3 mono amplifier with a crystal radio set?
Asked by: Roger Flood
A:
Hello Roger, It is possible to add another amplifier to the output of the radio kit, however the mono amp kit wouldn’t be a suitable option. The 3W class D amp kit would be a more suitable option. I have assumed that you are using our FM radio kit for this, other kits can be different.

Q:
Is there any chance of ordering just the pre-built amplifier board? I have plenty of speakers and battery snaps, but have run out of boards.
Asked by: Tony Hobbs
A:
Hi Tony, Unfortunately we are unable to supply just the built boards. This is due to us having speakers and battery clips automatically ordered when a batch of these boards are built and as such we wouldn’t be able to separate these out.

Q:
What is the optimum input impedance for this amplifier? I have a high impedance source (4Kohms) and need to match it to this unit. Thanks.
Asked by: Raf
A:
If you take a look at the input biasing on page 3 of the chip datasheet this explains further. However with how the kit is designed your input impedance should be fine. https://www.kitronik.co.uk/pdf/LM386.pdf
