If u got a headphone to rca cord u could hook it to a stereo. Hooking an external speaker to it by itself is gonna sound horrible because Google home doesn't have much of a audio amplifier Built-in. So any external speaker you hooked directly to it is gonna sound like crap unless you hook it to a stereo.

I have 808 bluetooth speaker and speaker alone became bad and the circuit is good and want to connect this Google Home Mini as a speaker. Can connect the 2 wires for speaker to the Google Home?, will it work, and does this setup need power connected to make speaker work?...The bluetooth board (808) comes with recharge battery for the circuit. I just need a speaker (Google Min's) to be connected. Please suggest, if external power for Google Mini is not required and I can just connect to the speaker..Then I can charge and carry this Google Mini and use with the limitation of "Hey Google" and google assistant options.

Hello, I seem to be confused with the schematic of the audio jack. I need a stereo output and what i understand from the real schematic of the jack is that #1 is R audio in from amp # 2 R speaker out # 3 is L speaker out, # 4 is L audio in from amp # 5 is ground Your connection shows the following: #1 audio in is connected to #5 common # 2 and #3 are connected to the inbuilt speaker # 4 is connected to ground If i look at the correct wiring diagram it shows: #1 and #4 connected together # 3 and #5 connected to inbuilt speaker By the way i read #1 to #5 from lower left corner and move towards right and go up to top. The top is the socket where you insert the headphone jack. Please advise

Yes, I believe a resistor would fix it (I believe the other You-tubers use them) I never did the research to figure out which one would work since I found if i didn't plug it into a amplifier but just into a speaker The hum wasn't really noticeable 'cause it was just going to the new speaker instead of its on board one also, you could maybe remove the hum with an amplifier that has a good EQ on it.

my understanding is the resistor has 2 purposes lowering the Max output so as to not blow up amplifiers if you set it to full volume, and cleans up the sound when going into some amplifiers both features are unnecessary if you're wiring directly to a speaker without going through at amplifier. your mileage with amplifiers may vary and always be careful to not use Max volume on the mini when plugged into an amplifier I recommend 35%

@Make-it-work
@Make-it-work 6 жыл бұрын
I'm glad to hear that you liked my instructions! As to audio quality, it's pretty much all about what speakers you use. In the video I use a speaker that has really good bass. Another way to improve the quality would be to run a mid and a sub in parallel (with maybe some resistance to the mid’s speaker). If you want to really crank up the bass, I recommend using speakers in conjunction with the LP-838 amplifier because it has a dedicated sub out with its own volume knob. It works well for me! Here's a link to some LP-838 amplifiers. I recommend looking around though, as they vary in price quite a bit: www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=&SearchText=lp-838
@danlowks

Great video and instructions. On your recommendation above about using a LP-838 amp, would you need to add resistor(s) at the Google Mini output to reduce the voltage or can you feed the output directly to the LP-838 without clipping? I saw that the LP-838 has stereo inputs. I would assume that you can use a Y splitter (mono to "stereo") to connect the mono Google mini aux out to the Left and Right RCA inputs of the LP-838. Thanks in advance.
@Make-it-work
@Make-it-work 6 жыл бұрын
My diagram for wiring the output on the Google home Mini ties together the left and right channels so you can even use a stereo splitter if you'd like (or you can use a aux cord and the input on the front of the amplifier), and when I use the LP-838 I only let the Google home mini go up to 35% volume, which is more than enough because the LP-838 can go very loud on its own. You could probably turn it up more without damaging the amplifier.
@danlowks
@danlowks 6 жыл бұрын
Oh, that incidentally is a very helpful comment on the Left and Right channel being tied together. I did not know that and was still trying to figure out how to connect to a phone jack (I use a 4 poles jack and that had me perplexed too). If it's not too much trouble can you advise how to connect to a 4 pole phone jack? A direct connection to a jack will be easy, but I had a hard time trying to figure out how the mini speaker is being disabled when a jack in plugged in (not much additional information I can find on the internet either) Great to know that you had it connected to a LP-838 without problem. I'm going to do that once I have my phone jack done. Thanks and once again Great Work!

If you pause the video at 5:24 and look at the diagram the two red spots representing where to solder the red wire to those two should be the left and right, but because we've taken the red wire to both of them they've tied the left and right together. The yellow in the bottom is the out so you have the left and the right going to the headphone jack and then when the headphone jack is not plugged in, the one on the right is connected to the yellow and continues to the onboard speaker. As to a 4 pole headphone jack, typically that is only used if one of them is video or, in the case of like Apple headphones, one of them helps with the mic and remote so you can pretty much just ignore that because it should work with the headphone jack, you just won't have access to the microphone or the remote which you couldn't get access to any way with this type of configuration.

If you send too powerful of a signal to the input of a stereo it can potentially fry it Because it's expecting the volume to be equivalent to what would be coming out of the headphone jack on a phone. So it's not that you can't turn the volume up it's the fact that you don't want to turn the volume all the way up In fear of damaging something

P.S. Without a resistor I typically use maximum 30% volume when going into a stereo.

Make it work but I think if you used Chromecast audio instead it would be stereo? Though does the voice come through if you ask it to tell you a joke for instance?

Other than the cost of the Google home Mini I probably spent less than a dollar on filament(Cura estimated 19 grams) and the headphone jack probably cost about a dollar (I linked some similar ones from AliExpress above) and the wire I used I just clipped off of a old PC power supply so I would say material cost is probably 2$

I don't believe that would work because in stereo you want to separate tracks and both minis would be combining the tracks to make a single source so it would be the exact same linking two of them as what I have currently
