Operation

Procedures

,---1X-PRO

System

By

varying

the

bias

level

to

compensate

for

the

dif-

ferent

characteristics

of

the

input

signal

,

Active

Bias

is

kept

constant,

so

that

this

allows

natural

-sounding

recordings

of

the

low

frequency

region.

Also,

much

higher

levels

of

high

frequencies

can

be

recorded.

If

we

consider

specific

sectors

of

the

frequency

range,

then,

if

a

signal

source

only

contains

high

frequency

components,

the

HX-PRO

will

•detect

this

and

reduce

the

bias

from

the

oscillator

to

the

optimum

bias

for

the

signal.

On

the

other

hand,

no

changes

in

bias

level

will

be

made

for

signal

sources

that

contains

only

low

frequency

sounds.

However,

when

low

frequency

sig-

nals

contain

occasional

admixtures

of

high

frequency

signals,

the

HX-PRO

will

reduce

the

bias,

changing

only

high

frequency

bias

levels

while

keeping

lower

frequency

bias

level

constant.

The

new

system,

there-

fore,

not

only

offers

an

improvement

at

high

frequen-

cies,

but

also

ensures

the

optimum

bias

at

low

fre-

quencies,

too.
