Abstract
A companding system for a television audio apparatus includes a compressor and an expander for stereo difference signals. The compressor provides variable preemphasis of high frequency signal components and the expander provides complementary variable deemphasis. At the receiver, unwanted signals are generated by a mixer that demodulates the stereo difference signal. The unwanted signals can cause mistracking of the expander relative to that of the compressor. A filter to eliminate the effect of these unwanted signals is placed in the expander control circuit, rather than the difference signal path. This eliminates the need and expense of an equalizing filter in the sum signal path.
