Simple, Powered Pocket Amplifier

Step 5: Wire the connections

Since someone else made the circuit, all we care about are the input and outputs, the output is already wired as a 1/8" headphone jack, and by soldering together the leads to the (now removed) microphones, red to red and black to black, we can then wire the circuit to our own input source

Here some of the wires attached to the board were too short, so I used a piece of scrap wire (yellow) to connect them.

I've just buyed this radioshack appliance and i've been researching for a while. Wiring like that will make it MONO, The "stereo way" should be: Red cables: don't put them together, one cable is left and one is right channel. Just do your own tests before soldering. In the next step must be: Red with red from the jack cable and Red with White from the jack cable. Black cables: Negative for each channel so these must be put together, In the next step they must be soldered together with the "bare cooper" cable. sorry for my English. it's not my native language

thanks for pointing that out. i was only wiring it for mono, so i wasn't concerned.

Wouldn't wiring it like this make it mono?
