I have just finishing upgrading/improving the cp-803 clipper,one of the many stacks of old gear to repair/upgrade.
The main question is,the clipper has a dynamic bias,this comes from IC6B and associated components.
In effect this circuit lowers the clipper voltages by approx 40mv,this is triggered by clipped activity.
Am i correct to assume this in effect becomes more active with increased hf clipping density,so being less active under bass/midrange (as the composite is pre empasised) ?
Also is the purpose of this to better define bandwidth or amplitude control ?
Reminds me a little of a smart clipper idea ?
