Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply tone control of a high frequency range automatically by adjusting the amplification factor of the high frequency component in response to the level of the high frequency component of an input sound signal. CONSTITUTION:Input sound signals of left and right channels (L), (R) are added by an adder circuit 12 to form an (L+R) signal, only a high frequency component is extracted through an HPF 13 and converted into a DC voltage in response to the level of the high frequency component by a rectifier circuit 14 and a smoothing circuit 15. The DC voltage is amplified by an amplifier circuit 16 to form a control voltage of a high frequency adjustment circuit 2. The left/right channel sound signals inputted to a sound signal processing circuit 1 are subject to high frequency component adjustment by using the control voltage of the circuit 2 and the control voltage by manual adjustment through the use of a variable resistor 10a. Then the signal is adjusted manually by the adjustment circuit using a bus 3, a balancer 4 and a variable resistor 5 and the sound is outputted from speakers 8, 9 through amplifier circuits 6, 7.

This (L+R) signal is passed through a high-pass filter 13, and only high-frequency components are extracted. Here, in order to remove unnecessary components (noise), the high-pass filter 13 may be a high-pass filter (for example, with a pass band of 2 to 15 kHz) that removes high-frequency components higher than the audio signal. This high-pass component is transmitted to the rectifier circuit 14 and the smoothing circuit 1.
