Abstract

In a noise reduction circuit comprising a combining circuit which generates a combined signal in response to signals supplied thereto, a main channel which supplies an information signal substantially unchanged to the combining circuit, and an auxiliary channel which receives the information signal and which supplies a modified information signal to the combining circuit for combining with the unchanged information signal, the auxiliary channel includes a high pass filter with a variable cut-off frequency which generates a filtered output signal in response to the information signal supplied thereto, a voltage-current converting circuit which converts the voltage level of the filtered output signal to a current and which supplies the current to the combining circuit, and an amplitude limiting circuit which limits the amplitude of the current supplied to the combining circuit.
