General Description
The LM832 is a stereo noise reduction circuit for use with
audio playback systems. The DNR system is noncomplementary, meaning it does not require encoded source material. The system is compatible with virtually all prerecorded
tapes and FM broadcasts. Psychoacoustic masking, and an
adaptive bandwidth scheme allow the DNR to achieve 10
dB of noise reduction. DNR can save circuit board space
and cost because of the few additional components required.
The LM832 is optimized for low voltage operation with input
levels around 30 mVrms.
For higher input levels use the LM1894.
