Ultra-Compact Power for High-Fidelity Audio
The GOLD AP55 TPA3116 Mini Digital Amplifier Board is a masterclass in compact audio engineering. Despite its small "mini" footprint, it utilizes the powerful TPA3116 digital amplification chip to deliver a robust 50W per channel. At Robogears, we recommend this board for users who want to create high-quality desktop audio setups, bookshelf speaker systems, or custom DIY Bluetooth speakers without the bulk of traditional amplifiers.
Multi-Mode Input Versatility
One of the standout features of the AP55 is its versatility. Beyond the high-speed Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connection, it also supports a standard 3.5mm AUX wired input and a USB interface. The USB port allows the board to act as an external sound card for your PC or play music directly from a flash drive. This makes it a perfect all-in-one solution for your home office or workshop audio needs.
