Abstract

In a stereophonic system having sum and difference signals with expanded spatial imaging, localization of center audio materials more towards the center is accomplished by equlization of the (L+R) sum signal. The equalization comprises decreasing the bass response while increasing the treble response of the sum signal with the desired bass reduction being accomplished by the use of a gyrator to economically synthesize an inductance. Additionally, the equalizations in the (L+R) sum signal to reduce the signal at bass frequencies and to increase the signal at treble frequencies are switchable singly or in combination between 'ON' and 'OFF' modes.
