ABSTRACT:
A compander circuit includes first and second volume controllers, a comparator, a counter and a control part. The comparator compares a compared voltage with a rectified and smoothed signal of an input signal of the compander circuit or an output signal of the first volume controller receiving the input signal, the compared voltage being an output signal of the second volume controller. The counter executes a count operation on an output signal of the comparator in synchronism with a clock signal and controls gains of the first and second volume controllers on the basis of a counter value of the counter. The control part controls a frequency of the clock signal applied to the counter by a predetermined control signal.
