> This sounds like a fantastic piece. I was over FunkPunkTwang’s place last night having my pack’s sound upgraded and the distortion was definitely an issue when we had the wires too long. Even now when you turn the amp up too high it gets distorted. Consider me very interested.

The pre-amp board is also designed to allow the removal of the separate battery for the sound module. If you just remove the separate battery and provide a voltage derived from the amp’s main battery without a pre-amp there will be lots of distortion all all volume levels, not just really high levels.

If you only have distortion with long wires or loud volumes, the pre-amp _may_ help. There are many potential issues that can cause distortion and the pre-amp fixes several of them!

> Quick question - would this help solve any issues with the volume control pot picking up distortion over long wiring distances?

That’s tough to answer - It depends on how the pot is connected and also the characteristics of the amplifier. The output of the sound module is a high frequency differential PWM (way above audio frequencies) and can be very sensitive to long wire lengths. That signal running over long distances _may_ be the source of the distortion. The pre-amp converts this into a more standard line level output that contains only audio frequencies, so should be less susceptible to distortion with long wire lengths. Just keep the wires between the sound module and the pre-amp fairly short for best results.
