2.5 Audio Processor
Refer to the audio processor circuit diagram (Sheet 2 – T854 Audio Processor) in Section
6.2.

2.5.1 General
The audio processor comprises several link selectable circuit blocks which may be con-
figured in a variety of combinations to suit individual requirements. The pre-emphasis
network and compressor may be linked individually or cascaded between either or both
audio inputs and the limiter.
Refer to Section 3.5.1 for linking details.
2.5.2 Audio Inputs
Two audio inputs are available: one from a 600Ω balanced (or unbalanced) line, and the
other from a local microphone. The microphone signal is passed first to a pre-amplifier
(Q210) and ultimately to a multiplexer (IC240), but in between may pass through the
compressor (depending on the linking details). The line transformer is also connected to
the multiplexer and is disabled by the microphone PTT switch.
A third input for external CTCSS tones is also provided.
