ABSTRACT:
A power supply circuit arrangement for electrical equipment, such as a loudspeaker with an integral power amplifier, which can be switched between an operational mode and a standby mode in response to a detected on/off signal, provides a desirable isolation of the main supply voltage from the detector. The arrangement comprises a transformer, having a primary winding and a secondary winding, and a switched impedance device between the transformer and the power supply input. The switched impedance device is switchable between high and low impedance states in response to the detected on/off signal. A control circuit for detecting the on/off signal and switching the variable impedance states is connected in common with a main circuit of the equipment to the secondary winding of the transformer, so that their respective supply voltages are both switched, in common, by switching of the impedance device. The control circuit and variable impedance device isolate the detector from the power supply. In the operational mode, the variable impedance is switched to its low impedance and the common voltage supplied to the main circuit and the control circuit is sufficient to operate both of them. In the standby mode, the variable impedance is high and the common voltage is inadequate for normal operation of the main circuit but adequate for normal operation of the control circuit.
