Balance Control Characteristics
The balance control attenuates the signal from the source, so that the left and right bass frequencies (summed together and
reproduced in the woofer channel) will also respond to the balance control.
Example:
If an audio signal of a voice speaking English is fed to the
left
(A) input and a voice speaking Spanish is fed to the
right
(B) input, then the
left
speaker channel will reproduce the midrange and high-range frequencies of the
English speaking voice, the
right
speaker channel will reproduce the midrange and high-range frequencies of the
Spanish speaking voice, and the
woofer
speaker channel will reproduce the summed (combined) low-range
frequencies of
both
voices.
If the balance control is rotated to the
left
(English), then the Spanish speaking voice in the
right
speaker channel
will diminish in volume and the Spanish speaking voice in the
woofer
speaker channel will also diminish.
Note that if the balance control is rotated completely to the
left
, the volume in both the
left speaker
channel and
left woofer
speaker channel will increase slightly to maintain overall output level. See the simplified diagram
below for placement of the balance control in the audio amplifier circuit.
The converse of the above is true if the balance control is rotated to the right.
