Abstract

See full text

An SC filter with intrinsic anti-alias function for adjustably decreasing or increasing the amplitude of audio signals in a predetermined frequency range. The SC filter includes a filter module having an RC network with at least one frequency-response-determining RC member whose resistor component R is realized in SC technology. The SC filter also includes a setting means connected to the filter module such that its setting determines the frequency response of the SC filter. The setting means also renders possible a neutral setting in which the effective audio signal path of the SC filter circumvents the filter module so that no decrease or increase of the amplitude of individual frequency portions takes place. An anti-alias low pass filter unit is connected into the audio signal path when the setting means is not set to the neutral setting and the anti-alias low pass filter unit is not located in the audio signal path when the setting means is set to the neutral setting. Furthermore, an audio singal processor may include such a filter.
