Hello,
I am building a project arcade machine with a raspberry Pi 3 and Retropie. I would like to use the amp and just wanted to make sure using the amp will not cause any issues with the gaming operation/programming of the Retropie?
Also, with the amplifier is it possible to connect x4 speakers?
Lastly, I noticed that to use the amp you now need a 12v power supply, do you sell a 240v to 12v power lead etc. to connect to a mains outlet.
Cheers
Aaron
Hi Aaron,
I don't know Retropie and can't say if there will be any issues. If you use any component connected to the GPIOs, check this document first:https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/articles/205376201-GPIO-usage-of-HiFiBerry-boards
We sell an 18V power supply in our shop that works fine with the Amp+:

You want to connect 4 speakers to the Amp+? The Amp is a stereo amplifier. If you use 8 Ohm speakers, you can connect two in parallel on an output, but you will still get only stereo sound.
Best regards
Daniel
Thanks Daniel for your quick response. I'll check it out

Hello HiFiBerry team
has there been any progress/more info on this?
this product looks great for improving the Pi audio capabilities, but its also pricey. but worth it if it works
