Small Projects Can Sound AwesomeThe Dayton Audio KABM-30M Bluetooth Amplifier Board makes it quick and easy to add audio to your project, speaker build, point-of-purchase display, kiosk, or any location where music or sound enhances the experience. DSP programing option and 1 x 30 watts of output, is more than enough power and sound customization to make a small speaker sound great, yet the board is small enough to integrate into nearly any project.
High Quality Audio Performance The Dayton Audio KABM-30M Bluetooth Amplifier Board delivers high quality sound without drawing a lot power. This is due to the highly efficient Class D amplifier chip. The chip operates at 90% efficiency, thus eliminating the need for a 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.
Integrated Bluetooth Unlike other amplifier boards, the Dayton Audio KABM-30M includes a built-in Bluetooth 5.0 module with DSP programing option with KPX board (sold separately).

The software provides simple control of 10 band of PEQ, High Pass Filters, Low Pass Filters, Compressor / Limiters, Bass Effects and more. KPX Programmer connection is only needed temporarily, DSP presets can be saved to the KABM amplifier itself and the programmer can be removed. This also means that one programmer can program as many amplifiers as needed. The KPX programmer firmware must must be upgraded to work with the KABM boards and KABM software. Refer to the KPX (325-139) user guide for instructions.
