Abstract
Abstract A telephone set circuit having a talking circuit formed by a transmitter, a receiver, an induction coil and a balancing network. The induction coil serves to couple the receiver and the transmitter in conjugate relationship between a two-line subscriber''s line and the balancing network. The balancing network includes a series-connected combination of a nonlinear resistance element and an ohmic resistance. A control circuit formed into a four terminal network is connected in cascade with terminals of the talking circuit. The control circuit is formed by use of an inductance element or an inductance circuit for compensating the capacitive component of the subscriber''s line, to which the telephone set circuit is connected, and a nonlinear resistance element for controlling the value of the inductance element or the inductance circuit in accordance with the supplied direct current of the subscriber''s line.
