Just wondering if you built a compander (or compressor) for your tv?
If so can you tell us about it. I'd like to install one on my tv.

I bought a cheapy Audiovox to test the theory, worked, but noticeable
"attack" clunking.

So I'm going to use the Audiovox for talk radio in my office (Fox
commercials are atrociously boosted, at least on the webcast), and buy
something nicer, like dBx for the theater system.


How about building an inverse squelch for the commercials? If the
get too loud, they are muted.


Good idea.



Use a compander to expand the compressed audio before feeding the
squelch, and that will catch the highly compressed crap you can't
understand, too.


I'd build something myself, but I'm too busy right now. After this
project completes I'll take a look at companding. Years ago I _did_
do some designs for the predecessor of THAT Corp.
