Abstract
An apparatus comprises a first and a second input and a processor coupled to the inputs. The processor estimates peak and minimum levels of each of the first and second input signals. A first signal regulator is coupled to the first input and to a first output for delivering a first output signal from the first signals. A second signal regulator is coupled to the second input and to a second output for delivering a second output signal from the second audio signals. A gain adjustment device is coupled to the processor and the first and second signal regulators. The gain adjustment device provides control signals to the first and second signal regulators to adjust an output signal level of the first output signal in response to minimum and peak levels of the first and second input signals. The output signal level is continuously variable over a range.
