The first stageof the equalizer amplifier (Q, & Qr) The basic principles of the NFB type tone control
is a differential amplifier using PNP transistors. The circuit are outlined in Fig. 2.
next stage (Q.) is a bootstrap circuit employing C1,
R1 to provide high voltage gain. The output stage
(Q+ & Qr) is a complementary-symmetrical SEPP
circuit, whose high voltage utility factor results in
a high output voltage. This gives the equalizer
amplifier a very wide dynamic range, and a con-
siderable overload input level of 300mV (RMS at
lkHz) with no more than 0.05V"distortion.
The equalizer elements (Cr, Cr, Rz and R3) consist
of polypropylene film capacitors (tolerance !2Vo) R" YR" R,
and metal film resistors (tolerance xIVo). Phono TREBLE
