Transistor attenuation - feedback tone circuit

Figure 4-11 illustrates a feedback attenuator that comprises a transistor-based tone control circuit. This circuit features a conventional high and bass control system, along with balance control, volume control, loudness adjustment, and subwoofer control, as well as field sense control. To enhance the transient characteristics of the tonal system and minimize distortion, the circuit operates on a high supply voltage of 24V. The configuration utilizes a differential amplifier circuit, which provides excellent performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, achieving a higher dynamic range. In the circuit, the volume control potentiometer is pre-defined, and its subsequent stage of loudness volume control potentiometer (P7) interacts with it to deliver a better loudness compensation effect while improving the input stage overdrive capability and playback signal-to-noise ratio. The signal from the input stage is attenuated by RPi and transformed through the emitter of VTi, entering the NF type tone circuitry for further processing. The telepresence control potentiometer (RP2) can boost or attenuate frequency signals between 500 Hz and 2000 Hz by approximately 6 to 8 dB, allowing for system and atmosphere control while enhancing presence. The subwoofer control potentiometer (RP3) operates differently from the bass controller, with a lower cutoff frequency around 100 Hz. This enables a softer bass response during the playback of dynamic music. The feedback tone control circuit is modified to include a straight bass high attenuation control circuit. The bass control potentiometer (RP4) works in conjunction with the subwoofer control potentiometer (RP3) to better manage low-frequency response. The treble control potentiometer (RPs) effectively improves program clarity when used appropriately.

The feedback attenuator circuit detailed in Figure 4-11 serves as a sophisticated audio processing tool, integrating various control mechanisms to enhance sound quality and user experience. The use of a 24V power supply is critical, as it allows for higher headroom and reduced distortion across the audio spectrum. The differential amplifier configuration is essential for maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio, which is crucial for high-fidelity audio applications.

The interaction between the volume control potentiometer and the loudness control potentiometer (P7) is particularly noteworthy. This design allows for a seamless adjustment of loudness without introducing significant distortion, thus preserving the integrity of the audio signal. The attenuation process through RPi and the subsequent impedance transformation via VTi ensures that the signal maintains its quality as it passes through the tone control circuitry.

The telepresence control (RP2) offers versatility in sound shaping, enabling users to adjust the presence of mid-range frequencies, which can significantly affect the perceived clarity and detail of the audio. The subwoofer control (RP3) is designed to manage low-frequency output effectively, ensuring that bass response is both impactful and controlled, particularly during dynamic musical passages.

In addition, the bass control potentiometer (RP4) and treble control potentiometer (RPs) provide further customization options, allowing users to tailor the audio output to their preferences. This comprehensive control scheme enables a high level of audio fidelity and personalization, making the feedback attenuator circuit an invaluable component in advanced audio systems. Overall, the circuit exemplifies a well-engineered approach to audio processing, balancing complexity with user-friendly controls for optimal sound reproduction.Figure 4-11 is a feedback attenuator consisting of transistors tone control circuit.
