No Zipper, No Pop! How ADC Hybrid Gain Control Can Enable Smooth, Pop-Free Microphone Preamp Gain Changes

This article explains the new hybrid gain control (HGC) feature of Cirrus Logic’s latest CS530xP family of Pro Audio ADCs and how these can eliminate noise problems when changing gain on digitally controlled mic preamps. This solution enables fine-resolution mic preamp gain control, with the feel of a traditional potentiometer but without audible pops or zipper noise by integrating control into the ADC, together with zero-cross detection and precisely synchronized digital gain control.

You Can DIY! Build the Popping P Filter

This original circuit effectively removes the low-frequency impulses caused by air blasts from a person speaking or singing into a microphone, as well as "plosives." This analog circuit removes these irritating sounds in real time, directly at the source by applying a 24-stage all-pass filter to delay only the lower frequencies of the main audio stream. This original circuit for non-commercial use is available for licensing for commercial manufacture. This article was originally published in audioXpress, October 2023.
