Abstract
A tone control circuit for use in audio equipments includes an attenuating high pass filter (typically, a CR filter), an attenuating low pass filter, a boosting high pass filter, a boosting low pass filter and at least an operational amplifier for tone control. The high pass filters extract a treble component from an audio input signal for emphasizing or attenuating treble response, whereas the low pass filter extract a bass component of the audio input signal for emphasizing or attenuating bass response. The mid-range component of the audio input signal prevented from entering the filters by virtue of a bypass circuit interposed between a source of the audio input signal and the operational amplifier.
