What sort of info do you need? :conf:

If you want to know its maximum power output look up the datasheet for the power amplifier.

Sorry my bad i posted i with little or no info to help you forums guys out.
1.what is needed to power it 5v 3.3v ??
2.what is the pin out of the connector with the wires soldered on i'm guessing it's for the volume control??

Any help would be nice:)

Thanks

The audio output device will require 12 volts supply.

What device is it (srewed/bolts to the heatsink) ? STKxxx ,LAxxx or TAxxx ? Please check the device type. Then we can confirm the specs.

The wires soldered to the pins are outputs to the speakers, left, right and a common ground. A bit like MVS

The volume control is that potentiometer next to the "vol min-max" sticker.

This sound amp is used on cyberlead cab, and few other namco arcades.
Seems to be little confused with what in/outputs are usually on amp boards, but baisicly talking,there are atleast three or four.

1 input
2 output
3 power
4 volume

If, other than them, should be low-pass amp(bass woofer) in/output, or different inputs in various channel,even for mic, whitch depends on each pcb structure.
There will be three connectors on this pcb, as it is, since volume is directly on it already.

"J1" RCA sound input
"J2" speker output
"J3" power (+12V)

For 2pins "J3" power connector

1 +12v
2 GND

I'm not sure about speaker outputs, 'cause don't have manual with me now, but I think....
For 4pins "J2" speaker output connector

1 L+
2 L-
3 R+
4 R-

tips: If you don't have manual, and can't determine pin assign, there will be a common way to find out by reading out circuits printings on both sides of pcb and also what's written on the board,that's if any. As you can see the pic posted, there are "L/R" and also "1" on the sides of "J2"connector, whitch shows that all pins are numbered from 1 to 4 from the left end, determined from the printing"1" on the left side of connector, and 2 pins on the left sides will be ether +/- of LEFT speaker output from the "L" printings on the left side of connector, same to the "R". To determine which is +/- on this one, look into circuit printings on the back side of pcb. I forgot witch pin is +/- on it, but if you'd post another pic from the backside, it would be helpful.

Sorry, being late. Bit busy these days.

Thanks for a new pic, and from what I see, pin assign, it will be as abobe mentioned.

P.S. I too, thank you ttooddddyy. Great stuff for all, and advice:)
