Let’s take a look at the LM3886 Amplifier circuit. The LM3886 IC is available in any local electronics market, because it is a most popular hi-fi audio amplifier IC. This article will cover the circuit diagram, PCB layout and its general instructions to build a 3886 IC based audio amplifier.
This is a high performance amplifier circuit and board. The sound quality of lm3886 is excellent because of the low signal to noise ratio of 92db at 2 microvolt. The single ic amplifier board is a simple and compact one, so easy to install on any amplifier cabinets.

The input voltage has no need to exceed 35v dual supply DC volt. I suggest using a 27-0-27 transformer for providing the power supply. The IC will produce much high heat on the back side, so you need to attach the IC with a good quality aluminum heatsink.
