Definitions

  • Each of the gain control amplifiers 1106 has a control electrode 118, 120, 122 and 124, respectively, application of a control voltage to which varies the gain of the amplifier.
  • the gain control amplifiers may embody a variable gain vacuum tube, a suitable variable gain transistor, or any suitable vario-losser circuit, or other well known technique for providing variable gain in response to an applied voltage.
  • the control voltage E, from subtractor circuit 82 is applied in parallel to control terminals 118 and 1124 of amplifiers 100 and 106, respectively, to control the gains of the front loudspeakers, and the control signal E is applied in parallel to the control electrodes 120 and 1122 to control the amplification of signals applied to respective back loudspeakers.
  • decoder apparatus adapted to receive first and second composite signals L and R respectively containing dominant signals L; and R, and each including two sub-dominant signal components L, and R said signal component L, being of substantially equal magnitude and in substantially quadrature relationship in said first and second composite signals, and in one of said first and second composite signals in leading relationship with that in the other, and said signal component R, being of substantially equal magnitude and in substantially quadrature relationship in said first and second composite signals, and in said one of said first and second signals in lagging relationship with that in the other, and including at least two phase-shifting networks operative to shift the phase of one of said first and second composite signals relative to the other by substantially 9ll to cause the signal components L and R in one of said relatively phaseshifted composite signals to be in phase coincidence or in phase opposition with corresponding signal components in the other relatively phaseshifted composite signal, combining networks operative to derive from said relatively phase-shifted composite signals third and fourth composite sig nals respectively containing dominant signal components L and R and each including two subdom inant signal components L; and R said
