    Abstract: A digital graphic equalizer includes a pulse-sequence generator for generating a sequence of pulse signals, a first digital signal processor for filtering the pulse signals to produce a filtered signal, a digital-to-analog converter responsive to the filtered signal for producing a calibrating signal, and a loudspeaker responsive to the calibrating signal for propagating a calibrating sound in a listening environment, the frequency characteristics of the calibrating sound being subject to modification by the listening environment. A detector detects the calibrating sound as propagated in the listening environment and produces a detection signal representative thereof. An analog-to-digital converter is responsive to the detection signal for producing a digital signal corresponding thereto, and a second digital signal processor is responsive to the digital signal for producing a plurality of frequency-divided signals. A spectrum analyzer is responsive to the frequency-divided signals for analyzing the frequency characteristics of the calibrating sound as propagated in the listening environment and producing a compensating signal adapted to compensate for the modification by the listening environment of the frequency characteristics of the calibrating sound.

    Abstract: A pulse width modulated signal amplifier including a signal input circuit, a clock pulse generating circuit, a pulse phase modulating circuit and a pair of pulse transformers. The pulse phase modulating circuit is supplied with the output signal of the signal input circuit and the clock pulse signal in such a manner as to produce a pair of pulse signals having a phase difference which is proportional to the output signal level of the signal input circuit. Each primary coil of the transformer is supplied with a pair of pulse signals, and the secondary coils are connected so as to add and subtract the pulse signals respectively. A rectifying circuit is supplied with the output signals from the secondary coils so as to produce the finally constituted pulse width modulated signals where the width of the pulse is proportional to the output signal level of the signal input circuit. At the same instance it is applied to a load through a low pass filter.
