Dayton Audio KABD-4100 4 x 100W Bluetooth Amp Board with DSP

Dayton Audio KABD-4100 combines a 4 x 100W amp board, Bluetooth 5.0, and an ADAU1701 digital signal processor all in one amp board. This enables you to customize your next DIY audio project's sound using SigmaStudio software and Dayton Audio ICP1 or KPX Bluetooth programmer. Key features Leverage the convivence of Bluetooth 5.0 and powerful DSP to truly create customizable audio projects with the accessibility of wireless streaming. The Dayton Audio KABD-4100 combines a 4 x100 amp board, Bluetooth 5.0, and an ADAU1701 digital signal processor all in one amp board. The four channel board provides the opportunity to expand your project in ways impossible before. Cascade the board to create up to 8 channels of audio. The design of the KAB-4100 enables you to customize your next DIY audio project's sound using SigmaStudio software and Dayton Audio KPX or ICP1 Bluetooth programmer. The Dayton Audio KABD-4100 DSP Amplifier Board delivers high quality sound without drawing a lot power. This is due to the highly efficient TDA749x Class D amplifier chips. The TDA749x operates at 89.5% efficiency, thus eliminating the need for a large heat sink and reducing its overall size. Its high efficiency becomes a major advantage when powering from batteries as it prolongs the playtime of a single charge. Its ultra-low distortion and pop-free performance make this hi-fi amplifier board an integral asset in any quality audio build. Unlike other amplifier boards, the Dayton Audio KABD-4100 includes a built-in ADAU1701 DSP chip. Create nearly limitless possibilities of EQ, crossover, bass enhancement, time alignment and more thanks to the ADAU1701 DSP chip. Make advanced crossovers with ease without capacitors, inductors, or preamp boards, and get almost immediate feedback on how your project sounds. SigmaStudio software and Dayton Audio DSPB-ICP1 or KPX programming boards (sold separately) combine together to let you set audio parameters to produce hi-fi quality sound. Download SigmaStudio into your desktop or laptop computer and plug the small ICP1 or KPX board into the USB port using a USB cable (sold separately). To quickly adjust the sound there are four potentiometers (sold separately) that plug into four sockets on the KABD-4100 amp board.. The Dayton Audio KABD-4100 includes a built-in Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 module with aptX HD. The advantage of Bluetooth 5.0 is its low power consumption which prolongs the playtime of battery powered builds. The streaming audio quality rivals that of CDs since the Bluetooth chip supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX LL, SBC & AAC. High receive sensitivity with RF power up to 9 dBm and -90 dBm, and on board antenna insure stable wireless connectivity up to 15m (50ft.) On board external antenna jack enables the KAB board to be mounted in a metal enclosure with an external antenna (sold separately). Designed and built for Bluetooth demonstration purposes, this fully functioning module provides a turn-key approach to Bluetooth certification for consumer goods. If the application of this board is for the hobbyist or industrial purposes then nothing is required to enjoy the full convenience of pairing and streaming quality Bluetooth. The KABD-4100 is also CE and FCC ready for certification purposes. Dynamic Bass Enhancement increases the proportion of bass at lower volumes, while decreasing the proportion of bass at higher volumes. Common practice in commercial Bluetooth speakers, this allows for a full, bass heavy sound from small drivers or exciters at lower volumes, but protects them from being overdriven at higher volumes. SuperBass algorithm uses principles of psychoacoustics to increase perception of bass by generating harmonics above the chosen crossover frequency. This can be especially useful when using small drivers or exciters. Analog Device’s Dynamic Bass Boost Algorithm will provide more bass boost at lower input levels than it will at higher volumes. This type of boost is incredibly common in portable speakers, creating the effect of the speaker sounding full and bass-y at low volumes, but prevents overdriving the speaker at higher volumes. If this block is too confusing or in depth for you, see the next page for a simpler version. For portable applications, there are two battery holder/charging boards which permit the connection of li-Ion rechargeable batteries to power the board. First is the Dayton Audio LBB-5Sv2 5-cell 18650 battery holder/charger board that is the same size as the KABD-4100 which makes it easy to stack the boards with standoffs. If you desire more performance time on one full charge, use the 5-cell 26650 Dayton Audio LBB-5v2 board which has a larger footprint than the KABD-4100. They both work with 5 to 24 VDC power supplies. These portable power sources are highly recommended and both provide under/over voltage protection. Please note: To achieve power output briefly plug in the recommended power supply into the battery boards after the batteries are installed or when the batteries are removed and reinstalled. Parametric EQ There are many types of filter blocks, however the parametric EQ block allows for graphic, easy to use and precise adjustment of numerous bands of peaking filters, high/low pass filters, tone shelves and more. Potentiometer Controlled Filters Control your filters with the external potentiometers which will adjust the filter based on the position of the potentiometer. This filter works by pre-calculating a specific number of filters based on user parameters, and then storing them into the DSP memory Audio components and products designed for every journey.
