ABSTRACT:
A muting circuit for loudspeakers is operable to disconnect a loudspeaker from an amplifier immediately upon a power supply being interrupted. The muting circuit includes an around-zero-volt detection circuit for detecting around the zero volt level of a commercial AC voltage. An RC time constant circuit is controlled by the output of the around-zero-volt detection circuit to either charge or discharge the capacitor in the RC time constant circuit only when the around zero volt level is detected. A threshold circuit is connected to the RC time constant circuit and operates a loudspeaker relay when the charge on the capacitor either exceeds or decreases below a predetermined level.
