Abstract
Compressor and expander circuits respectively are arranged in series, the circuits each having bilinear characteristics in which there is a low level portion of substantially constant gain up to a threshold, an intermediate level portion, above the threshold, of changing gain providing maximum compression ratio or expansion ratio, and a high level portion of substantially constant gain different from the gain of the low level portion. The high and low level portions thus each have a constant compression ratio of 1:1. Over the intermediate portion, the compression ratio 10 or 12 rises to a maximum 10b or 12b such as 2:1. The intermediate level changing gain portions of the characteristics are staggered between the series circuit to the extent that the resulting overall characteristic has a maximum compression or expansion ratio substantially no greater than that of any single circuit while providing an increased difference between the gains at low and high input levels (that is, providing increased compression or expansion) than for any of the circuits individually.
