- Stereo VU Meter
A simple, low cost stereo VU meter.
Two LM3915 dot/bar display driver ICs are used to drive 2 rows of 10 LEDs (4
green, 3 yellow, 3 red) in a moving bar display. Each row of LEDs spans a power
range of 0-30 dB in ten 3-dB steps. This VU meter indicates "peak music power"
when used with audio amplifiers. Ideal add-on for any of the amplifier kits.

to build a low voltage, high power, mono 18W Bridge Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
module using the Hitachi HA13118. Delivers 18W into 4 ohm at 13.2V. Ideal for
running off car batteries. Operating voltage: 8-18V. Speaker & heatsink
not supplied.
K106
- 50W Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier module
The heart of this amplifier is a
monolithic integrated circuit from SGS-Thomson, TDA7294. It is intended for
use as an audio class AB amplifier in hi-fi applications. It has a wide voltage
range and output current capability, enabling it to supply the highest power
into both 4 and 8 ohm loads.
This module will deliver 50 watts RMS into an 8 ohms at 0.1% THD and is powered by a split +/- 30V supply. A heatsink, rated at 1.4 deg C/W, is required but not supplied. The heatsink can be mounted directly on the PCB.

A63
- 20 Second Voice module
This pre-assembled module measures
a tiny 3.5cm x 2cm (1.3" x 0.9"). It uses a chip-on-board device from Vtech.
All components are fitted on the PCB, including the pushbutton switches and
electret microphone. One button is pressed to record the message. An LED turns
on during record. The other button is momentarily pressed to replay the message.
A second momentary press during playback will stop the playback. All you have
to add is a speaker and 5V DC power.
The record/playback time
is determined by a 52K resistor. If you change it to 89K you will get 30
seconds but at a reduced sampling rate. Operating current is 25mA. Standby
current is 10 uA. The module comes supplied as you see it in the photo.
