Abstract

An improved gain control circuit of the "eight transistor gain cell" type is disclosed. The improvements comprise (1) means for operating the circuit as a Class AB amplifier and (2) means for reducing the distortion component in the output signal due to the inherent parasitic base and emitter resistances of the transistors of the gain cell of the gain control circuit.
