Abstract

Abstract A differential amplifier circuit which comprises an emitter follower transistor adapted to operate at the same time the power supply is turned on, the output of said transistor being fed to the first input of the differential amplifier and servicing to charge a capacitor connected to the second input of said differential amplifier, whereby the rise of the output signal is made quick and the so-called pop signal normally produced in the amplifier is eliminated.
