You won’t need a series four de-atomizer with our rendition of the Noisy Cricket, just wire it up and crank up your tunes! The Noisy Cricket Stereo Amplifier, uses the LM4853 Boomer® IC which can be configured to output up to 1.5W of power in mono operation (4? load) or 300mW per channel in stereo operation (8? load). The amplifier comes with a dual-ganged pot with a built-in switch to control power and adjust both left and right channel gain.

The SparkFun Noisy Cricket has been designed as an easy to use board with three connection sections, Power, Input, and Output. The power section features three connections, VCC, VCC OUT, and GND all only requiring a voltage range of 2.4-5.5VDC but with only one connection. Meanwhile, the Input and Output sections both have connections for GND, LEFT IN/OUT, and RIGHT IN/OUT for your audio inputs and outputs. It is important to point out that the Output section of the board does feature an extra pin labeled “MONO,” to use this pin (since the Noisy Cricket operates in Stereo out of the box) and get the full output power from the amplifier you�ll need to configure the Noisy Cricket as a mono amplifier, that way the left and right input channels will be combined to drive a single speaker. To enable mono operation all you will need to do is solder two jumper pads on the back of the board labeled ENABLE MONO OUTPUT and MONO BASS BOOST.

With the SparkFun Noisy Cricket Amplifier, you will be provided with a board that fits into the palm of your hand that requires minimal setup that allows you to utilize both stereophonic and monaural sound!

Very nice connection.
Size: 12 pairs
The banana connectors are great, I don’t know why I haven’t used them before. Very easy to install. I cut the wires and started fresh.

Great product but screws are annoying
Size: 6 pairs
These 24K gold-plated banana plugs are a solid choice if you’re looking for an easy and reliable way to connect your speaker wire. The connectors feel sturdy, and the gold plating gives them a clean, professional look while also helping prevent corrosion. Installation was straightforward — the wire slots fit snugly, and once tightened down, the connection feels secure. I used them for both my home theater and stereo setup, and the sound quality is clear with no noticeable interference or loss. The pack includes 6 pairs (12 plugs), which is plenty for most speaker setups, and they fit my receiver and speaker terminals perfectly. My only small complaint is that the screws could be a bit tighter or smoother when clamping the wire — you just need to make sure they’re seated properly to get the best hold. Still, once installed, they stay firmly in place.

Works great with all speaker wires
Size: 6 pairs
It works pretty well with standard and thin speaker wires. It makes so much easier to plug and unplug speaker wires. Color coded makes it easier for future. Banana plugs are worth. Double screws ensure wires remain securely attached. Screws are bit too tiny and had to run to the store to get one of those fine tip screw driver though.
