Abstract
A tone control device for an audio equipment comprises a first mixer amplifier, at least one second mixer, a third mixer and at least one band rejection filter, which are operatively engaged with each other such that a center frequency, Q value and gain thereof can be independently controlled.
Claims7
A tone control device for audio equipment, comprising:
- a first mixer amplifier having a plurality of input terminals and an output terminal, one of said input terminals being fed with an input signal, a first band rejection filter having an output terminal and an input terminal connected to said output terminal of said first mixer amplifier for providing variable frequency characteristic of a signal channel assigned thereto, a second mixer amplifier having one input terminal connected to said output terminal of said first mixer amplifier, another input terminal connected to said output terminal of said first band rejection filter, and an output terminal, a third mixer amplifier having a plurality of input terminals and an output terminal, one of said input terminals of said third mixer amplifier being connected to said output terminal of said first band rejection filter and another of said input terminals of said third mixer amplifier being connected to said output terminal of said second mixer amplifier and to another input terminal of said first mixer, the ratio of said output of said second mixer amplifier to said input signal, and the ratio of the output of said second mixer to the output of said band rejection filter being variable at said first and third mixers, respectively, to control a gain of said tone control device at a desired frequency.
