ABSTRACT:
An electric muting circuit for soft muting of an audio signal is shown. It comprises a digitally controllable attenuation circuit having an audio signal input, an audio signal output and a control signal input and also comprises an up/down counter having a clock pulse input fed with clock pulses to be counted, a counting control input fed with a counting control signal controlling counting start and counting stop, and a count signal output from which a digital count signal is available and which a digital count signal input of the attenuation circuit.
