THEORY OF OPERATION

Overview

The OC-1 is a small plug-in module for use with Bose 502™, 402™, and 802® II controllers. The OC-1 allows the use of the Cannon™ bass loudspeaker with these controllers and their loudspeakers. Refer to the block diagram, equalization curves and OC-1 schematic for further information.

The OC-1 provides three major functions:

A. Low frequency equalization.

B.Crossover filtering of the high frequency signals.

C.Protection of the Cannon against excessive power.

1. Low Frequency Equalization Circuit

U5's four op-amp stages provide low-pass crossover filtering, high-pass filtering to eliminate subsonic material, and frequency contouring to optimize the overall response.

2. High Frequency Equalization Circuit

U3, section 1 and U5, section 2 provide two channels of high-pass filtering to remove bass from the main loudspeakers.

3. Protection Circuit

The protection circuit consists of a compressor and a mute circuit. The protection circuit is connected so that it can monitor the low frequency voltage applied to the Cannon driver. When this voltage exceeds the power limit defined for the driver, a compressor begins to reduce the gain in the low frequency path so that the power does not continue to rise.

4. Compressor Circuit

The compressor consists of the following functional blocks:

A.Differential input buffer

B.Full-wave peak detector/comparator

C.Averaging circuit

D.Voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA)

The differential input buffer (U1 section 1) features protection against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), and overvoltage. It has a gain which is much less than 1 so that it can attenuate the high level signals coming from the Cannon (over 40 volts at full power).

3

U4, sections 1 and 2 form a full-wave peak detector. When the input to these stages exceeds +/-2V peak, the outputs go high and a control voltage is created in the averaging circuit (C27, C28, etc.). The averaging circuit captures peaks with a short attack time and holds them with a longer release time. U2, section 2 inverts and scales the averaged control voltage and applies it to the VCA control input.

U7 is a current-in/current-out VCA which is controlled by the voltage on pin 2.

5. Mute Circuit

The mute circuit acts as a watchdog, and prevents the Cannon™ from operating unless the feedback signal from the Cannon is connected properly to the controller/OC-1 protection input. When the mute circuit detects that no audio has occurred for about two minutes, it reduces the gain in the low frequency path.

The mute circuit consists of a gain stage and a comparator. U1, section 2 amplifies the signal from the protection circuit differential input, and U2, section 1 compares it to a reference. When the sensed level exceeds the threshold, a control voltage (generated in U2, section 2) causes U2, section 1 to go from high to low and reduces the compressor gain by about 40 dB.
