How to connect an mp3 module to the music center

Most people at home most likely had an old music center lying around. But no one uses it for only one reason, it does not reproduce modern formats and does not support storage media. But the music center can be given a second life.

What is needed to connect an mp3 module

By their design, the modules are a small mp3 player that does not have its own speakers and power supply. To make up for these missing elements used the old music center.

To remake the music center, it must have in working condition:

• sound amplifier;
• Columns
• Power Supply.

For alteration will be necessary:

• directly mp3 module;
• 470μF capacitor;
• printed circuit board;
• soldering iron;
• connectors
• wires.

Important points before connecting

Today, manufacturers delight amateur craftsmen by making a special mp3 module for converting sound. This device can be equipped with:

1. Cheap products have only usb port.
2. Expensive devices are equipped with a display.
3. The D / U console that controls the equipment.
4. Different number of ports for different needs.
5. Certain devices may be equipped with sound amplifiers.

Recommendation! For home use, a simple product with only a usb port is enough.

Step-by-step connection of the mp3 module to the music center

To install a modular part, you must determine its location. If you are good at electronics, you can solder the modular board to the wires. If not, then you can connect this part to the cassette compartment. In this case, you need to consider the ability to control the remote control.

Main steps:

1. It is necessary to partially disassemble the audio system.
2. Considering the scheme of the modular board and the music center, it is necessary to connect the wires to the power supply to the corresponding output of the module.
3. After that, proceed to installing the modular board in the place that was selected. Why do you need to connect the corresponding conclusions of the module and sound card of the audio system. The procedure is performed with a soldering iron or using an aux input.
4. At the last stage of the upgrade, you need to connect the power supply, and the work is completed.

Modular circuit boards and audio systems, as a rule, are bundled with purchased models, otherwise they can be found on the Internet. The audio module must be powered by 5 volts. From 12 V, it must be connected via a 12-5 V. power supply
