SA571 Compandor The SA571 is a versatile low cost dual gain control circuit in which either channel may be used as a dynamic range compressor or expandor. Each channel has a fullwave rectifier to detect the average value of the signal, a linerarized temperaturecompensated variable gain cell, and an operational amplifier.
