Abstract

An active load circuit is interconnected between a signal source such as a pickup cartridge and an amplifier which acts as an impedance matching resistor. An equivalent resistance provided by the amplifier as viewed from the signal source equals a required resistance for impedance matching, and the noise voltage is considerably reduced as compared with that produced by a conventional matching resistor.
