Today’s post is about mp3 modules with compact front panels. These devices are used as an audio source (USB/microSD/FM/AUX/Bluetooth) in DIY projects such as portable speakers or to breathe new life into an old music center. Let’s consider audio modules of precisely modest sizes, so as not to take up much space in the project and not spoil the look of old technology.
Consider several popular options for mp3 modules with compact sockets on the AliExpress platform. I bought almost all the models myself, where possible, there will be a link to my articles.
AVN-757
Opens a selection of compact panel audio modules model AVN-757. I used it in this DIY project, it is also on the title photo of the topic. Dimensions 87×25 mm, there is even a small screen with a color indicator.
The panel is powered by 5 V DC, comes with a small remote control and a set of short cables for installation.
Key Features:

ARuiMei mini
The pinnacle of minimalism. The module with a front panel of 50×24 mm had to sacrifice the display for the sake of compactness. On the front panel there is a micro SD card slot, usb A and three control buttons.
This model is based on the AC6926B chip and supports uncompressed audio tracks in MP3 / WMA / WAV / FLAC / APE formats.
Power supply 12 V DC. There is a silver and black front panel color option to choose from.
A25
Perhaps the best selling option on Aliexpress. Popularity is easy to explain — low price, but a large number of functions.
Versions with one appearance differ somewhat in functions, specifically this version with support for Flac and Bluetooth calls (there is a microphone).
The dimensions of the front panel are 108×25 mm.
There are versions of such a module with built-in amplifiers (3 or 25 W per channel), which is convenient for homemade speakers, and simplifies assembly.

The panel size (112×62 mm) is slightly larger than the others, but the screen and functions are larger. Power supply 12 V DC.
There is a detailed review of this model.
TDM156
The selection is completed by a quality version of the Flac module — TDM156. The front panel size is 115 x 47 mm, there is a 128 x 64 dot screen and a functional encoder for control. Comes with cables and a small remote control.
It’s a folder-navigating device on media, recording, tagging, playing uncompressed track formats, and decent sound.
There is a review of his older brother TDM157 with similar functions (but there is a larger screen and two encoders).
I hope that the selection of tested compact mp3 modules was useful and you will choose the option that suits your taste and budget.
