## Output driver — LM386 (U3), for the 4Ω speaker
|

|
`AUDIO_OUT` is **line level** — the LM358 **cannot** drive a speaker. Add an **LM386**
|
||||||
|
power amp for a 4 Ω / 8 Ω speaker. (For bring-up you can feed it from `AMP` or `BROWN`
|
||||||
|
instead of `AUDIO_OUT`.)

**Notes**
|
||||||
|
- **Output cap must be big (~470µF, ≥16V).** Into 4 Ω, 47µF high-passes at ~850 Hz →
|
||||||
|
kills the bass (brown noise is all lows). Fat electrolytic, **+ → pin 5**.
|
||||||
|
- **Gain ×20** (pins 1 & 8 open). Back off with VOL to avoid clipping. A 10µF between
|
||||||
|
pins 1 & 8 gives ×200 — usually not needed.
|
||||||
|
- **On +12 V the LM386 runs warm into 4 Ω** (LM386N-1 max = 12 V). OK for testing;
|
||||||
|
for cooler running feed it from ~9 V.
