Structure of pre-amp. stage (continued)
AN5270
G
F
amp., the flat-amp., amplifies the signal equally for all frequencies in the range of 20 Hz to 70 kHz.
G
T
amp., the treble or tone-amp., has an internal LPF connected to its inverting input. The non-inverting input of G
T
amp. is connected to the input signal. Thus, the output of G
T
passes only the upper range of frequencies (cut-off
frequency
=
2.5 kHz).
G
B
amp., the bass-amp., amplifies the lower range of frequencies. Its cut-off frequency is determined by R1· C1.
If LF pin is left open, then G
B
amp. has no effect on the overall frequency response.

Gain calculation
General formula for gain of pre-amp. is (when vol.

max., tone
=
max.) :
