On the left side we will find 4 Omron g6S-2-y 5VDC relays; nearby we have the headers for the inputs and the USB from the back:

Near the relays we see a Princeton Technology Corp PT2314E, which is an audio processor which includes 4 stereo input selectors with adjustable gain, master volume control, speaker output attenuator and tone control:

The small PCB in the back holds the USB header, the DC-IN and the Analog input/output switch:

The PCB also comes with two MAXIM MAX98400 ICs, which are meant to amplify the analog input signal by making use of the PWM method. The SDAR-3000 amplifier can deliver a continuous maximum output of 24W+24W (48W total) on 8ohm:

On the daughterboard which holds the analog decibel meters, we will find a STC 10F04XE microcontroller:

We have tested the amplifier with the help of the Kro Kraft Speakers, also from Scythe, which come in a compact packaging. The cardboard box contains plenty of information regarding the product:

The manufacturer instructs us from the beginning on how to correctly connect the cables to the amplifier, in order not to damage the sound system:

On the other side of the box we will learn about the FGBS (Flow Guided Bass-Reflex Structure) feature of the speakers, which directs the cabinets’ airflow towards the bass-reflex port, resulting in efficient low-frequency reproduction:

Compared to the previous speaker version, which looked practically identical on the outside, now we get larger woofer magnets for an overall improvement of the frequency response:
