A tone control circuit using only one potentiometer to provide bass or treble control is described. An integrator and a differentiator are connected to the input of the circuit and their outputs to the two ends of the potentiometer. Electrical connection between the potentiometer and the input is also made to provide a flat frequency characteristic component in the output signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
An electronic tone control circuit comprising, an integrator circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, a differentiator circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, first means for electrically connecting the input terminals of said integrator circuit and differentiator circuit to each other to provide the tone control circuit input terminal, a potentiometer having end terminals, a wiper arm terminal, and a center-tap terminal, second means for electrically connecting the output terminals of said integrator circuit and said differentiator circuit to said potentiometer end terminals, respectively; the wiper arm terminal providing the output terminal of said tone control circuit, third means for electrically connecting said center-tap terminal of the potentiometer to the control circuit input terminal.
2.
The tone control circuit of claim 1 wherein said second means for electrically connecting comprises, a first resistor connected between the output terminal of said differentiator circuit and one end of said potentiometer, a second resistor connected between the output terminal of said integrator circuit and the other end of said potentiometer.
3.
The circuit of claim 2 wherein, said third means for electrically connecting comprises a direct electrical connection between said tone control circuit input and said center-tap connection.
4.
An electronic tone control circuit comprising, an integrator circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, a differentiator circuit having an input terminal and an output terminal, first means for electrically connecting the input terminals of said integrator circuit and differentiator circuit to each other to provide the tone control circuit input, a potentiometer having end terminals and a wiper arm terminal, second means for electrically connecting the output terminals of said integrator circuit and said differentiator circuit to said potentiometer end terminals, respectively; the wiper arm terminal providing the output terminal of said control circuit, impedance means electrically connecting said tone control circuit output terminal to the tone control circuit input terminal
