ABSTRACT:
A peak accelerated compressor comprising a voltage controlled amplifier, a level detector and a peak accelerated filter circuit. The voltage controlled amplifier circuit is utilized for processing an input audio signal and producing an output audio signal. The level detector circuit is utilized for processing a sample audio signal which contains transient peaks and average waveforms. The peak accelerated filter circuit is coupled between the level detector circuit and the voltage controlled amplifier circuit for producing a control output signal to change the gain of the voltage controlled amplifier circuit in response to the transient peaks in the sample audio signal. The peak accelerated compressor effectively enhances the compression for transient peaks without adversely affecting the normal compression of average waveforms.
