Instructions for setting up and using a 5 volt amplifier with a DFPlayer Mini.
This image shows the amplifier as it comes from the manufacturer.
You can make your connections directly to the amplifier and then mount it as you wish in your control panel.
This shows how it should be wired.
The L and R connection points correspond to the speaker – and speaker +, respectively, on the mini player.
For maximum volume, attach 8 ohm speakers.

We find it more convenient to use a circuit board on which screw terminal connectors are mounted because it makes wiring much easier and mounting is simple. The mounting holes are a convenient 3.5 mm in diameter.
On the side labeled OUT, you connect two speakers.The L and R connection points correspond to the speaker – and speaker +, respectively, 8 ohm 3 watt speakers give maximum volume.
S= and S- are connected to the = and – connections on the mini player.
The +5v and – points are connected to the corresponding points on the mini player.
