Today we are getting right into Bluetooth Audio Receivers in particular the MH-M38. The MH-M38 is a stereo audio receiver with loudspeaker outputs (and an inbuilt amplifier) that can play music from a smartphone/computer, without wires, via Bluetooth. These tiny boards pack a huge punch, letting you drive two 5W speakers very loud, and doing so with a connectivity range of over 20 metres! This board operates with a modern Bluetooth transmission protocol. the Bluetooth V4.2 version. This module supports Bluetooth automatic re-connection technology, supports WAV / WMA / FLAC / APE / MP3 lossless decoding, and has stereo two-channel output.

    Did you ever test the module by connecting the USB port to a PC? Allegedly it functions as a sound card. I'd be interested to see how that works out.

    Can I connect 4 speakers on this module? I have got 4 pieces 1.5w 8ohm speakers

    Would it be a problem to use 1Watt speakers? Or is that too low?

  • @Core-Electronics

    @Core-Electronics

    The datasheet states that it will work with speakers ranging from 2-8 ohm to 3-5W, but the optimum speaker for this devices is 4 Ohms at 5 Watts. I think 1 Watt might not be the best for this module.

    What if i have two 10W speakers? Can i still use this module?

    That shouldn't be an issue as long as the impedance values match. The 10W speaker just won't be as loud as it could if you drove it with a larger signal.

    You can always refine (lower) the output from your computer source 😊 so you don't drive your parents up the wall.
