Abstract

1404331 Companders DOLBY LABORATORIES Inc 18 July 1972 [2 Aug 1971] 33624/72 Heading H4R A selectively switchable compressor and expander comprises two adding circuits 51A, 51B, in series in a main path between an input and an output and a further path 26 with its input connected to a point in the main path between the two adding circuits and its output connected to one adder circuit to provide a compressor configuration, and to the other adder circuit to provide an expander configuration. A switch 24 is provided to disable one connection between the further path and one of the adders and the further path includes a limiting circuit, to limit the signal level passing therethrough so that compression or expansion is only effective at low signal levels. In Fig. 5, the compressor operates in a feed forward configuration, with the path to the adder 51A disabled at either switch 24 or 24<SP>1</SP>, and the expander operates in feedback configuration with a signal inverter 52 in the feedback path. In the expander configuration the output is taken from terminal 25 and a recompressed signal is provided at terminal 35 for connection to a recorder &c. In Fig. 6, the compressor operates in a feedback configuration via an isolating buffer stage 54 and the expander in feed forward configuration via the inverter 52. Switch 55 is provided to enable the compressor and expander to be rendered inoperative. The further path may have a filter with adjustable cut off as disclosed in Specification 1,279,634.
