Included in this kit, you will find two thin speakers, all connecting cables (that includes power and Qwiic), a wall adapter, as well as a SparkFun Qwiic Speaker Amp and RedBoard Artemis Nano. Thanks to the kit being Qwiic-enabled, no soldering is required, either! The SparkFun Qwiic Speaker Amp features the Texas Instruments TPA2016D2 stereo, filter-free class-D audio power amplifier. What distinguishes this audio amplifier from others is that it features volume control (i.e. gain), Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), Automatic Gain Control (AGC), enable/disable amplifier, and its ability to be configured through software via I2C. Its efficient class-D operation also means low heat and long battery life when driving 4O speakers at up to 2.8W in stereo, and 8O speakers at up to 1.7W in stereo. This is quite a bit more power than the [mono amplifier (TPA2005D1) ](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=11044) or [Noisy Cricket stereo amplifier (LM4853)](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=14475). It won't shake a stadium but it will provide plenty of volume for your audio projects. Along with the Speaker Amp, you will get the RedBoard Artemis Nano as your Arduino microcontroller. The RedBoard Artemis Nano is a minimal but extremely handy implementation of the Artemis module. A lightweight, 0.8mm thick PCB, with onboard LiPo-battery charging and a Qwiic connector, this board is easy to implement into very small projects. A dual row of ground connections makes it easy to add lots of buttons, LEDs, and anything that requires its own GND connection. At the same time, the board is breadboard compatible if you solder the inner rows of pins. *The SparkFun [Qwiic Connect System](https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic) is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.* [Get Started with the SparkFun Qwiic Speaker Amp Guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/2749)### Includes - 1x [SparkFun Qwiic Speaker Amp](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=20690) - 1x [SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15443) - 2x [Thin Speakers - 0.5W](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15350) - 1x [DC Barrel Jack Adapter - Female](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=10288) - 1x [Audio Cable TRS - 1m](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=18983) - 1x [Wall Adapter Power Supply - 5VDC, 2A (Barrel Jack)](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15312) - 1x [Reversible USB A to USB C Cable - 2m](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15424) - 1x [Flexible Qwiic Cable - 200mm](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=17258) - 1x [Jumper Wires Premium 6in.
