CXA1598M/S
3. Recording mute function
The CXA1598 contains a built-in recording mute circuit which varies the recording equalizer amplifier gain
according to the magnitude of the DC voltage applied to the REC MUTE pin just like an electronic volume
control. Also, any desired soft mute or fader can be freely set depending on momentary changes in the DC
voltage applied to the REC MUTE pin. Fig. 3 illustrates the recording mute waveforms.

4. Recording level calibration function
The CXA1598 allows the recording level to be finely adjusted with a DC voltage. The recording equalizer
amplifier gain can be varied by approximately ±5dB simply by applying a DC voltage to the REC CAL pin.
When not using the recording level calibration function, simply leave the REC CAL pin open, and the REC
CAL pin is matched to the internal reference voltage (2.5V), with the recording level set for the standard
output gain.
5. Medium frequency equalizer amplifier calibration function
The CXA1598 allows the medium frequency equalizer amplifier characteristics to be finely adjusted with a DC
voltage. By simply applying a DC voltage to the GH CAL pin, the medium frequency equalizer amplifier gain
can be varied by approximately ±4dB. When not using this calibration function, simply leave the GH CAL pin
open, and the GH CAL pin is matched to the internal reference voltage (2.5V), with the medium frequency
equalizer amplifier characteristics set for the standard output gain.
6. High frequency equalizer amplifier calibration function
The CXA1598 allows the high frequency equalizer amplifier characteristics to be finely adjusted with a DC
voltage. By simply applying a DC voltage to the GP CAL pin, the high frequency equalizer amplifier gain can
be varied by approximately ±4dB. Also, when not using this calibration function, simply leave the GP CAL pin
open, and the GP CAL pin is matched to the internal reference voltage (2.5V), with the high frequency
equalizer amplifier characteristics set for the standard output gain.
7. fp peaking frequency calibration function
The CXA1598 allows the fp peaking frequency to be finely adjusted with a DC voltage. By simply applying a
DC voltage to the FP CAL pin, the fp peaking frequency can be varied by approximately 46% to 200%. Also,
when not using this calibration function, simply leave the FP CAL pin open, and the FP CAL pin is matched to
the internal reference voltage (2.5V), with the fp peaking frequency response set for the standard fp peaking
frequency.
