Abstract
An audio amplifier having a volume-dependent tone control which is inexpensive and hardly distorts the audio signal. A filter in the signal path of the audio amplifier determines the tone control at low volumes. The bass tones and possibly treble tones are then amplified to a greater extent than the mid-range tones. With an increasing volume, a continuously controllable amplifier stage increasingly compensates this tone control. To this end a linear feedback path is arranged across this amplifier stage, with a pole in or near the frequency range of the bass and mid-range tones.
