摘要:
An amplifier circuit includes a pre-amplifier 20 responsive to a program input signal, a filter circuit 60 , and an absolute value circuit 100 . The pre-amplifier 20 provides automated balancing between the high frequency channel signals and the mid range channel signals to provide a compensated signal. The filter circuit 60 is coupled to receive and automatically filter the compensated signal to provide an output signal and a modified compensated signal. The filter circuit has an adjustable bandwidth that is automatically adjusted in response to the control signal for automatically reducing the bandwidth of the filter circuit in response to lower values of the control signal to obtain the output signal. The filter circuit uses a voltage controlled amplifier or a photo cell in combination with an integrator. The absolute value circuit 100 senses the modified compensated signal and provides a control signal proportional to the average peak value of the amplitude of the modified compensated signal.
