Circuit for widening the stereobase in the reproduction of stereophonic sound signals

摘要

A circuit for widening the stereobase in the reproduction of stereophonic sound signals contains one amplifier (10, 34) each for the stereo signals assigned to the right-hand and left-hand channel. Each amplifier (10, 34) comprises a non-inverting input (16, 36) for the corresponding stereo signal and an inverting input (18, 42) for an output signal fed back via a first resistor (R1, R5) from the amplifier output (20, 40). An ON/OFF connection is provided between the inverting inputs (18, 42) of both amplifiers (10, 34). The connection between the inverting inputs (18, 42) of the two amplifiers (10, 34) is formed by two amplifiers (48, 50) circuited in antiparallel as voltage followers and a second resistor (R8, R9) connected in series with the output of each amplifier (48, 50). The amplifiers (48, 50) circuited as voltage followers comprise a blocking input (64, 66) by which the amplifiers can be switched to an inactive state on application of a blocking signal in which they communicate no signal to their output.
