M47ZA STEREO EQUALIZER MODULE The left channel of the M472A Stereo Equalizer wili be described . Input The unbalanced audio input appears at pin of the module conn- ector It is routed directly to the normally closed contact of Equalizer Insert switch SWZA and to buffer amplifier U1B. Mid-Frequensy Equalizer The output from the input buffer amplifier 418 feeds summing amplifier UIA and the Mid-Frequency cut/boost control R4: R4 bridges between the input and output of summing amplifier UIA.
The arm of Rb connects the signal to the state variable filter U3A, U3B, and U4A . C6 through C9 along with R15 and R18 determine the resonant frequency of the filter_ R8 adjusts the overali filter gain and therefore its 0 High 0 is nominally four and Low is nominally two. The filter output is fed back into summing amplifier UIA via C5_ This feedback signa/ adds or subtracts from the maln signal in proporation to its magnitude and Phase relationship.
Lew_Frequency Equalizer The output from UIA feeds the audio signal to the Iow frequency summing amplifier U2B, Low Frequency cutlboost control R23 bridges across 42B, with the arm of this control coupling the audio signal through C11 to Low-pass filter u4B. The frequency determining components of this filter are the LF shelf control Rz7 , Rz9 , C12 and C13.
The filter output is fed back to summing amplifier 028 through R3o . Dependent upon the setting of cut/boost control R23 the signal, is added or subtracted from the main signa/ path thus affecting the frequency response characteristics of the Low Frequency portion of the audio spectrum. 4-1
