USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Overview
Welcome to use this self-made 2*15W digital control audio amplifier board. This product
is well-known for its small size, portable, elegant and its outer casing fully made from
aluminum alloy which makes it tough and durable. As an ideal Class-D audio power
amplifier and integrated with TA2024 which is currently popular around the world, it not
only provides dream sound but also has high efficiency, thus it can dissipate the heat
after long-time working to ensure that the amplifier can works in a stable condition for
long time.
AA-AB32159 integrates a high-quality rotary encoder which employs high-quality digital
volume control IC ensuring precise shaft rotation and accurate volume adjustment.
AA-AB32159 supports dual-channel amplification and each channel is rated at 15W.
With built-in MCU, this product can provide over/under voltage protection, low current
protection and display LED state.
This product can be powered by any DC power supply ranging from 9 to 14V. You can
use it to drive any 4 or 8 passive speakers.

Situation Solutions
No sound 1. Check if it is connected with the power and confirm that the voltage regulator works
well. If not, connect the power according to the schematics.
2. Check if the signal input cable is connected correctly and if there is signal. If not,
connect the lines according to the schematic and input the audio signal.
3. Check if the output cable is damaged and if the speaker works or not. If not, change
the output cable and the speaker.
4. Check if the LED keeps on lighting or not. If not, restart it and ensure that the LED
displays breathing effect when the switch is OFF. If it still doesn’t work, remove the
