DROK 12V/24V PAM8620 15W+15W Dual Channel Amplifier

DROK 12V Amplifier Board is a compact PAM8620-based Class D stereo module delivering up to 15W+15W with wide DC 8–26V compatibility for DIY sound systems.

This low-profile, high-efficiency amplifier board is built for makers, custom installers, and hobby audiophiles who need a small, robust stereo amp that runs from common 12V or 24V supplies. The module combines a PAM8620 chip, high-quality capacitors, and gold-plated connectors on a black immersion-gold PCB to provide stable audio output, multiple safety protections, and optional remote control pins for mute and shutdown functions.

How much power does this DROK amp deliver and what supply does it need?

The board outputs up to 15W per channel into 8 ohm speakers when powered near 24V and about 10W per channel at 12V. It supports DC input from 8V to 26V, so it works with 12V automotive or 24V industrial systems; lower speaker impedances will cause the module to limit power automatically.

• 15W + 15W stereo rating at 24V into 8Ω
• Approximately 10W + 10W at 12V into 8Ω
• Automatic power limiting for 4Ω or 2Ω speakers
• Operates from DC 8–26V (compatible with 12V and 24V setups)

What audio performance and components are included?

Designed as a Class D amplifier, the board yields high efficiency (over 90%) and low overall harmonic distortion under normal listening conditions. Key components include the PAM8620 audio amplifier IC, imported KEMET speaker capacitor, large filter capacitors per channel, and gold-plated audio and power terminals for reliable connections.

• PAM8620 Class D amplifier chip for efficient output
• KEMET speaker capacitor and large filter capacitors per channel
• Gold-plated audio input terminals and custom black copper power blocks
• Immersion-gold PCB finish for corrosion resistance and signal integrity

What protection and control features does the board provide?

The module includes comprehensive protection to keep your speakers and power source safe: reverse input, short-circuit, overheating, overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage protections. It also accepts optional external control lines for muting or shutdown, making it easy to integrate with remote control systems or microcontroller projects.

• Input reverse-connection and short-circuit protection
• Thermal, overcurrent, overvoltage and undervoltage safeguards
• External MUTE pin (active-high default is low) and SD shutdown pin
• Designed to tolerate EMI in real-world installations

Who is this for? If you build custom speakers, retrofit audio into vehicles, develop compact media players, or assemble hobby electronics, this DROK amplifier board delivers a balance of compact size, high efficiency, and protection features. It’s ideal for DIY audio projects that require 12V or 24V operation, reliable connectors, and optional remote mute/shutdown control—perfect when space is limited but stable stereo power is needed.
