Your 1/4 wavelength at 2.4Ghz used commonly is 31.25mm which is 1.23", not 1.5" And considering BT is 2.45Ghz, that length is closer to 1.20". Trim your wire a bit and you may increase your range slightly. Best to cut that PCB squiggle and attach there a short run of coax center and ground that should be available and run that to an antenna that is a minimum of 1/4 wavelength away from the dome-peak of the electronics to reduce the floor interference. Thanks for the video, by the way.

I've built two ammo-box bluetooth speakers using coaxial speakers made for cars, works really well. I'm powering them by a 7,2Ah AGM battery and mounted a charger inside the box with a "cicle of eight" connector for 110/200V on the outside. Also mounted a small LDC panel showing remaining battery. Since the steel box acts a bit like a Faraday cage, I had to solder a tine coaxial cable to where the base of the surface mounted antenna on the board were, scrape off the rail, thus deactivating the original antenna. The cable I soldered I then connected to a Wifi connector that I mounted on the box and then a Wifi antenna on the outside (Both bluetooth and Wifi uses 2,4Ghz so it's perfect). Works quite well and has both good range and power, even though I could only mount one battery in the box because of limited space, two batteries giving 24V would be better.

Excellent analysis, made my day I am building a 5.1 system and isolating woofer completely paired with it's own amp, this helped me decide on what configuration to use as I am using 12V to make it portable as well with a Li-po battery pack. So in theory I should still be getting ~50/~50 L/R with ~50W 2.1 channel or 2x(50W+50W) + 2x(~50W) making part of the system portable while keeping overall performance good enough.

From what I've read, the sweet spot for the TPA3116 is right around 19 volts. If you provide some 4700 uF caps in the supply, you may also get better sound. I hope you make a video when you hook it up to your main speakers. It would also be interesting to see how much difference there is between Bluetooth and line-in.

After trying three TPA3116D2 based amplifiers I ran into the same conclusions as "BlankBrain's" I operated the amps off 19 Volt 4.7A Dell laptop PSU's with 4700uf filter caps, Alternatively used wired and BT input sources. Sound great. FYI! on public domain sites there are 3D printing plans for cases that fit some of those Bluetooth TPA3116 amps. I tested with Definitive Technology surplus bass drivers and had to apologize to the neighbors. They claimed their dogs filed for relocation.

@@avrahamchamish521 I concur as well. If you want a really well made laptop supply then the best I have come across are the Toshiba ones. Beautifully made and properly screened. I have a few Dell supplies here but haven't tried them - not least because they are attached to laptops and might be missed. Also they don't have the standard barrel connector. But they should be decently made too, but the Toshiba ones are exquisite. I was really surprised how much went into them.

My own tests on this unit are as follows: Needs the antenna mod shown in this video but that makes the Bluetooth work great. Very easy mod to do, see this excellent video. Comparing it to a SE EL84 tube amp, both capable of low volume good involving sound without fatigue or need to turn it up. This digital amp on a 24 volt 2.7 amp laptop power supply begins to clip symmetrically at 2 volts RMS with 8 ohm load, odd harmonics, so 1/2 watt per channel. Very similar power to my SE tube amp. Frequency response flat 60 - 18,000 HZ. Mild roll off at 40HZ, more at 20HZ, but still some signal there. The SE tube with much more low end slam than this despite equivalent watts. My speakers only go down to 50 HZ so bass is not what I am after. Will actually use this amp, I think, as it is very good sounding at low volume for near field listening. Convenient Bluetooth implementation. I think it sounds just a little better on 19 volts than 24.

Don't understand how there are four month old questions unanswered and videos put out since, in fact 4 days ago. Believe me I understand how busy life gets and maybe this isn't your only job and you have other responsibilities, and you're not the only one that does this, but the last two questions are really good questions and would determine if I would purchase this amplifier or not. I promise I'm not being a complete butthole but you stated that banggood sent you this parade review oh, I'm sure it was they would like to see the questions answered as well as the rest of us. Honestly this is probably one of the best videos only amplifier boards that I have ever seen! But this is like getting an awesome product and no service afterwards. Unfortunately you can't answer every question in your 20 to 30 minutes of testing and I'm sure you won't be able to keep coming and watching the video after the first week and they have. Comments from subscribers and non-subscribers are what are part of the logarithm but also the interaction of you commenting back and answering the questions! It would be to everybody's benefit if you and other KZbinrs would keep the interaction going by actually answering the questions that you generate with this video and others. I'm sorry but I do think my actions are Justified because I had several questions and I don't even know if this is going to be seen. Should I subscribe knowing that my questions may not be seen or answered in a week after or even at all? Would you subscribe to my Channel or any other channel that is an information-based format where the owner doesn't interact with their subscribers? If you start doing this and answering these people's questions, I'll gladly stay subscribed and refer others as I have a few friends in the car audio and audio world. I know you may not need our subscriptions but honestly I don't know how you wouldn't. I will delete this if I can get a straight answer back. Thank you and once again a amazing video!

I try to respond to every question I see. However I have almost 1400 videos on my channel now. Not every question I get a notification of. I only respond to questions I know exist and that is when I receive an email notification from youtube. If I don't get an email to tell me there is a question to a specific video then I don't know there is a video there, and again, I have 1400 videos up, and can't possibly look through every video every day and see if there are new comments. I have brought this to youtubes attention in the past, but nothing has changed. Many of my subscribers are also patreon members and ask me questions though my patreon channel or send me an email directly from my email link. Those ones I do get and respond to. I am still answering questions to videos that were posted 5 years ago, when I get the question. Also be aware that this is not a full time job for me. I do work full time and then some, putting in an average of 9 hours a day at my day job, and do not check my email, or youtube channel during work hours. If you knew the hours that I am policing the channel you would understand how much work it is just dealing with the crap that everyone that has a channel has to deal with. Also, if a question gets posted that someone puts a URL in or a link, youtube automatically flags that as spam or potentially inapproiete message and I never see those unless I go into that junk folder and check. So some legit comments are sitting in limbo because the poster included a link or URL in the message and youtube quarantined it. This is done to stop malware. If it was a public message and someone clicked on a malware link then their system could be compromised.

RMS power is .707 peak. I did ohms law, on 24 volts, and an 8 ohm load...would be 72 watts (flooded) and .707 that is 50.9 watts rms max per board. So I'm thinkin' 120 watts per channel, is peak to peak rating. A lot of audio companies list this rating, and I grew up on classic electronics, so ohms law and i squared r always comes to mind for power.
@ChristianRThomas5 жыл бұрын
Well, almost. The 24V is DC so that is + or - 12V peak. 0.707 of that is 8.something Volts, giving 9W. So how do they get to 50W or even 120W? Well, it's actually rated for a peak of about 26V DC, if I remember correctly, but the main thing is that each channel here is bridged, giving you twice the voltage range, and so 4x the power. But that's still only 36W and we still haven't taken into account the dropout voltage. So they spec it into 4 ohms to double the power, and 50W is then, possibly, a reasonable spec. For 120W they put both channels in parallel and they spec it into 2 ohms. You need a 2 ohm speaker to achieve it, of course. At all these high levels you are really thrashing the amplifier (and it would have been nice to see him put some sine waves on a scope driving various load resistors to see if it can really manage it). In fact, on the scope topic, it would have been nice if he had the slightest clue about what he was doing, or how these things worked. I have run a couple of these off a standard 19.xV laptop supply and that's probably a comfortable supply level to give it. It's likely to last longer than going to the full 26+V.

I've read through the comments and didn't see an answer fora question I have, which is probably simply due to my ignorance. My question is can I use this to power some speakers on my ATV? From the comments it seems as though these boards require some means of regulating amperage.. Can I not simply run power to this board straight from my atv 12v battery which is fused at 10A but ofcourse I can put and online fuse in place but that wouldn't really "regulate". If I can't use this board what do you recommend? It will be mounted in a waterproof p BOSS brand 6" Tube ATV speaker. I took apart the Boss tube and it surprised me that it came with a board style amp as I expected it to be in an enclosed style. Once again that's my ignorance with this type of information.

I'm kind of new to electronics, am I missing something? 120 watts per Channel??? 12 V. Power supply.... is that thing pulling 10 amps? Or at 24 volts pulling 5 amps? I know the thing has inductors but, if the amperage isn't there it's not there! So where does the wattage come from? One more question? 12 volts X 10 amps =120watts. So that accounts for one channel 120 watts. You said something about the inductor alternating? Does that mean the 120 watts is alternating from left to right channels, using the inductor/s? Thanks Dave. it's an honest question I'm not being a jerk!
@12voltvids4 жыл бұрын
The way they calculate this is into a 4 ohm load. This power is also rated at the full working voltage of 24 or 26 volts not 12. Look up the specs of the chip. Also it is a BTL output. Each leg should be able to put out 50 watts. Remember that the speaker terminals are driven out of phase with each other so one side goes + while the other - and then they flip. Class D are very efficient so all the way of thinking and calculating power used on linear amplifiers goes out the window. These are pwm amplifiers and efficiencies are gained through those inductors.

Do you have equipment to determine the distortion of the output when it's not clipping?

No I don't have a distortion analizer, so I have to rely on published data.

Hi, I have one question, how many current do I need if I use 24VDC, is 3 Amps enough?
@Todestelzer5 жыл бұрын
Tijs Stremler P=U*I You need 24V/10A But 240w is peak. Maybe 5A will be enough. Caps should handle the peak current drain.

Hi Kirk Nelson or anyone. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. I built a portable bluetooth speaker box using the TPA3116D2 2.1 Amp.. Besides listening to music . I want to use it as a speakerphone for telephone Conference calling, I want to make telephone calls with this bluetooth speaker box.. What extra items do i need???

Anyone know if this version with the Bluetooth has the same noise floor hiss as the other unit without Bluetooth? I bought 2 of the non Bluetooth, replaced pots with 10k and still hisses so it is unusable.

@@jimcatx3090 I have looked at these and fixed the problem and now I am actually stomped how this tiny Piece of crap is laughing at my Rockville Power Amp!!! LMFAO. Remove the heat sink then you need to remove R3 ( complete removal ) and replace R4 with a 5.6k resistor. You do not need to use an smd resistor just wired in a regular resistor ( film barrel) and wire it's legs on the R4 pads then put the head sink back in and use some hot glue to hold the sides down properly. I emailed Rockville and sent them some pictures of my little box I put this amp in with 1/4 input and output jack's added along with a power push button on top of the box. It's hilarious how this little plastic box has this power!!!. It turns out these little amp boards have the wrong value resistors in the power amp section pushing almost 40 dB so lots of noise will sneak through, the 5.6k resistor on the R4 will fix this problem. This was on the non Bluetooth boards ( same board just no bluetooth module ). This little board is now my home theater sound amp and also my guitar amp box lol.

Danfuerth Gillis I would I Never buy anything from Rockville so it’s not saying much for this amp board it is pretty loud I probably would waste my time working on this board I have about 10 different ones i play around with in the winter I have the gains set about 1/4 way so u can’t hear that bad hiss so it’s not bad I have some nice clean boards that blow this one out of the water

@@jimcatx3090 Yep I ordered 2 Bluetooth 120x2 boards and 2 non Bluetooth ones. Since the non Bluetooth boards arrived I worked on those but was disappointed with the hiss even at low volumes. These boards require 10k ohm potentiometers and the R3, R4 mods. I did not even change the pots only the resistors and that eliminated all hiss and noise. These little suckers pack some massive punch and they don't get hot at all. I was playing guitar on a 4X12 cabinet at 8hms and this thing was actually more clean and had tons of power almost like a rack power amp lol. For its size and the simple mods to repair them at $5 per board might as well order a couple of them and build your own rack power amp with multiple inputs and outputs. I am building a rack power amp right now which will have features not available in $5000 power amps. Total build price with tube preamp, power amp, input and output jack's, toroidal transformer, fx loop section $110. The test box will be plastic shell to test the amp out which then gets transfered to a metal box after passing tests. It will have individual main back fans control, individual power amp fan control, and some other stuff on the front of the unit, like 1/4 , XLR, Midi patch through section to the back. It's a 420 X2 watts amp. Will be doing a video on the little amp and the big one once I get the parts in the mail.

Hi there I've just bought one of these in the UK after seeing your video. 👍. Was wondering though if I used just a 12v power supply would the output wattage power still be 120w per channel or would it be less. Cheers John
@SahinurUK4 жыл бұрын
Hi mate. I'm in the UK. Where did you buy from? Link pls. Thanks.
@12voltvids4 жыл бұрын
It would be less. Supply voltage determines the p-p swing of the speaker voltage. 24v will allow for 24v p-p voltage swings per output rail. 12v would cut the output voltage in half so half power everything else being equal.

The TPA3116 is a 100 watt chip and this has 2 so 200w, where does it get the extra 20w per channel extra, a total of 40 watts for 240watt?
@rich10514144 жыл бұрын
Overrating board manufacturer. The TPA3116 can sometimes do a bit more than 50x2 @ 24v and 4 ohms, but not 20 watts more. I guess Chinese find underrated specs blasphemous and must correct such dissent by doing things like that.

Really excellent video! For the audio waveform demo at 28:40 you point out 24 volts on scope. Were your leads across the speaker out terminals, and measuring entire balanced output voltage, or was one lead referenced to ground? This is a balanced output amp, I think, so it would make a difference in this amp. Have you done a measurement with sine waves? Have you tried the Bluetooth out points for audio in? I work on tubes only so far but really intrigued by this digital method, now that your scope showed me what is really happening in that tiny amp.

Thanks for the great video. I believe that you mentioned that the card has an input so would it then be possible to attach a 3.5m adapter to it in case I would prefer that? Any idea as to how much sound degradation for this BT vs. 3.5 m cable to your phone? Is the 30Watt @ 8ohm 24volt or 50Watt @ 4ohm 24volt accurate?
@rich10514144 жыл бұрын
Bluetooth has compression, analog does not, but it all depends on how good the DAC is. Bluetooth can potentially be just as good if the integrated dac isn't great.
