ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for suppressing the audible effects of operating supply voltage transients developed when a sound reproducing system including a gain controlled audio amplifier is initially energized and de-energized. A control path supplies the amplifier with a gain (volume) control voltage of positive and negative senses corresponding to maximum and minimum sound volume. A first capacitor is coupled between the control path and a source of positive operating voltage from which the gain control voltage is derived. A normally non-conductive threshold conduction device and a second capacitor are coupled in series with the first capacitor between the control path and ground. The threshold device is biased to be rendered conductive for coupling positive-going supply voltage transients away from the control path via the second capacitor when the system is initially energized, thereby suppressing the audible effects of the positive transients. Negative-going supply transients developed on the control path when the system is de-energized are in a direction corresponding to minimum volume and are essentially inaudible.
