Abstract

A device for determining the quality of an output signal originating from a signal processing circuit is provided with a first series circuit for receiving the output signal and with a second series circuit for receiving a reference signal and generates an objective quality signal by means of a combining circuit coupled to the two series circuits. The poor correlation between said objective quality signal and a subjective quality signal can be improved by inside the combining circuit comparing a differential signal which has been integrated with respect to frequency with a predefined value and then in dependence of a comparison result integrating it with respect to time or not, and/or comparing a quality signal associated with a left channel with a quality signal associated with a right channel and selecting the quality signal having the largest value and modifying it in dependence of integrated differential signals. <IMAGE>
