Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce noise while keeping the feeling of stereo by cutting off the high frequency component of a sub-signal when an output voltage is small and giving the feeling of spred by means of a delay device. CONSTITUTION:A main signal (L+R) and a sub-signal (L-R) are obtained by a matrix circuit 4 from an Lch output 2 and an Rch output 3 obtained from a stereo demodulator 1, the envelope of this sub-signal is detected by a detector 7 and leading edge of the sub-signal is obtained by differentiating the output of the detector 7 by a differentiating device 13. When the leading of the sub- signal is short, a VCF6 is controlled so that the cut-off frequency fc of the VCF6 is high and the fc is lowered in other cases. That is, when the noise component is much, since the leading of the sub-signal is comparatively slow, the cut-off frequency fc is lowered, a high frequency component of the sub-signal is not outputted from the VCF6, and when the noise component is less, the leading of the sub-signal is sharpened, the fc is increased, the high frequency component is outputted to provide the feeling of direction and fixed position.

The envelope of this sub-signal is detected by a detector 57 and differentiated by a differentiator 13, thereby performing leading edge detection of the sub-signal. The output of the differentiator 13 controls vCF6 so that when the rise of the subsignal is sharp, the cutoff frequency fc of VCF6 is made high, and when it is other than that L, fc is made low.

That is, when there are many noise components, the rise of the sub-signal is relatively slow, so the cutoff frequency fc is low and fx is set so that the high frequency components of the sub-signal are not output from VCF'6, and when there are few noise components, The rise of the sub-signal becomes sharper, fc is increased, and high frequency components are output, giving a sense of direction and localization.

The noise is audibly reduced by K. In addition, a signal obtained by passing the main signal through the delay device 5 and delaying it for a fixed period of time H1, and
The output of the CF6 is mixed in the mixer 8, and the output of the mixer 8 and the main signal that is not delayed are input to the matrix 9 and added. Therefore, when the fc is high, that is, the noise component When the output level is low, the output level of the VCF 6 is higher than the output of the delay device 5, the output of the mixer 8 is almost dominated by the sub signal, and the output of the matrix 9 is the Lch output 2 and the Rch output 3 of the stereo demodulator 1. Almost the same signal is output.

On the other hand, when fc is low, that is, when there are many noise components, the output of the delay device 5 is much larger than the output of the VCF 6, and the output of the mixer 8 is dominated by the output of the delay device 5, as shown in FIG. M) l) As is clear from the configuration of Tx, this delayed signal appears in the opposite phase at the Lch and Rch outputs 10 and 11 of the matrix 9, making it possible to obtain a pseudo-spread sensitivity. Therefore, the sense of spaciousness lost in CF6 can be corrected.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the output of the delay circuit 5 was set so as to be always output, but by reducing the output of the delay circuit 5 when the cutoff frequency fC of vCF6 is high, the rise can be improved. It can be made to interfere with the localization effect when sharp.

FIG. 4 shows an implementation cell 1J having such a configuration, in which the output of the delay circuit 5 is input to the mixer 8 through the attenuator (VCA) 12, and the output of the differentiator 13 is input to the inverter 4.
The amplification of VCA 12 is controlled by the inverted output. When the noise component is small, the output of the differentiator J3 becomes a dog, and the output of the inverter 14 becomes small, so the VCA 12
The eicN degree of is increased, the output of the delay circuit 5 is sufficiently attenuated, and the sub-signal output from the VCF 6 becomes more dominant.
