(ch1)
The BA3308F/FV amplifier of ch1 and ch2 input stage
(13pin, 9pin) can be direct coupled or use coupling
capacitors (C1/C2). The voltage gain of the record amplifier
is determined by G

control of the pop noise that occurs at power-on (see
“Cautions on use”) and direct current bias fed back is set by
R5/R6 and C5/C6 at the output stage.

2) ALC
The BA3308F/FV has an on-chip signal rectifier and electronic
volume needed for ALC. The signal rectifier compares the direct
current output voltage that is superposed in the output stage (1, 7pin)
signal to the reference voltage 4.5V
F
(≒3V; 1V
F
is approximately
0.7V) in the comparator circuit and if the output voltage is higher, it
turns the comparator ON to charge the smoothing capacitor C
7
.
Since the operation point of the output stage of amplifier ch1 and ch2
is fixed at 3V
F
, the comparator turns ON when the peak value of the
signal output voltage is 1.5V
F
(effective value approx. 0.75V). Once
the direct current signal for electronic volume is controlled, ALC
operation starts. The electronic volume, which is connected between
the input line (13, 9pin) and GND, causes the input signal to
attenuate according to the ratio of the external resistance (R
1
, R
2
) to
the resistance value of the electronic volume. The ALC range varies
according to the values of R
1
and R
2
. For small ALC variation the
S/N will determinate an adequate ALC range is obtained by applying
several kΩ of the R
1
and R
2
. The attack time and recovery time of
ALC are set according to C7 and R7 of 4pin. If the time constants
(C
7
, R
7
) are large, the recovery time will be long and as C
7
becomes
smaller, and the attack time will be shorter.
