LCR TYPE RIAA EQUALIZATION: C. Hybrid filters (use of both CR and negative RIAA equalization is a specification for the correct feedback types): playback of vinyl records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America. The In this method, both types of filters applied separately; purpose of the equalization is to permit longer an active filter is applied to the low frequencies and a playback times and improve sound quality. passive filter to the high frequencies. Unfortunately, both the advantages and disadvantages of each of RIAA equalization is a form of establishing a flat these two types of filters, already discussed, affect the frequency response for the playback of recorded playback system at the same time. music. The necessity for this equalization process arises from mechanical difficulties inherent in D. LCR filters, which are used in the H‐3000: record production. In order to prevent the cutting needle from over‐cutting into the next record groove in the bass, as a record is cut, some bass Two pieces of a linear reactor (a kind of choke coil) frequencies are attenuated. In the treble region, in comprise the main part of these filters, assisted by order for high frequency sounds not to be masked precise CR filters, in order to lower impedances and by the noise inherent in moving a stylus over and insertion loss. through a modulated vinyl surface, some treble frequencies are boosted. With the application of In vacuum tube circuits, active and passive filters usually the correct filtering techniques on playback, the are operated on one hundred plus kilo ohms of result is a flat frequency response with better signal impedance. An LCR RIAA filter's impedance is a constant to noise ratios. ... -
