| In this circuit, audio fed to the
control channel is amplified and rectified by D1 and D2. This dc level activates LED D3
via Q2. The light from D3 causes R9, a light-dependent resistor to decrease resistance. As
R11 (audio gain) is set higher, more audio is present at the output of Q1. Audio fed into
J2 is shunted to ground via R9 and less of this audio appears at J3. Therefore, audio at
J1 controls the audio level fed to J3 from J2 and produces a fade effect. |
