ABSTRACT:
A compressor or expander circuit is constructed by connecting a plurality of impedance networks in series across input terminals, at least one network being frequency selective. Output terminals are connected across one or more of the networks. The frequency selective network varies its parameters in response to the level of components within a restricted frequency band determined by this network so as to narrow the band when the level of such components increases. This includes such components from the restricted band and thereby from the compression or expansion action.
