National Semiconductor LM386N-1 LM386 Wide Input Voltage Low Power Audio Amplifier with Internal Gain IC + Socket (Pack of 1)

welcome back in this video we'll be building a circuit around the lm386 audio amplifier it's the simple almost famous 8 pin dual inline package it's just the simplest of chips imaginable but building a circuit around it that actually sounds decent that's always the challenge then that's what we'll focus on in this video there's a lot of videos out there building circuits with the lm386 but it's just been my experience attempting to build a lot of them that they don't sound very good there's a lot of crackling popping radio interference etc etc and I threw just tons of trial and error have come up with a particular circuit namely this circuit zoom out a little bit that sounds pretty good it doesn't have any static no crackles no pops the sound exiting the speaker is fairly clear then at this point this is about the best circuit I've been able to come up with I'm sure there's others that
