From the project
A high quality open source In Ear Monitor Amplifier!! (IEMA for short)
OpenIEMA is an Open Source, In Ear Monitor Amplifier built as an alternative to the Behringer P2 with dual headphone outputs driven from a mono balanced XLR input, with onboard LiPo power and USB-C charging!!
40 × 70 mm, 2-layer, designed in KiCad 10.
- KiCad 10 for schematic capture and layout - pcb2blender for the Blender renders - TI TPA6132A2 + OPA1678, Microchip MCP73831, TI TPS61023
