Title: Circuit for suppressing noise caused by scratches on a phonograph record

Abstract: A circuit for suppressing pulse-shaped interferences in an audio signal caused by scratches on a phonograph disc, comprising a signal processing section connected between an audio frequency input and an audio frequency output, comprising a noise suppressor having a control input; as well as a control signal section connected between the audio frequency input and the control input, said control signal section comprising a first threshold selection circuit connected to the audio frequency input for selecting pulse-shaped signals from the audio signal, followed by a second threshold selection circuit for distinguishing the pulse-shaped signals originating from noise signals from those originating from musical signals.
