However, in the case of the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 6, there is a problem in that the detection circuit (14) requires a highly sensitive, highly accurate, and expensive detector circuit. In other words, it is better to use a detection circuit that performs ideal rectification in which the amplitude of the input audio signal and the output level of the detection output are directly proportional, but such a detection circuit requires an operational amplifier and the circuit configuration becomes complicated. Another problem is that it is expensive. On the other hand, it is conceivable to use a simple configuration using a diode as the detection circuit, but since the voltage drop in the forward direction of a diode is about 0.7 V to IV, in the case of a detection circuit using a diode, the previous stage amplifier (Unless the gain of the amplifier (12) is increased, a good audio signal detection output cannot be obtained, and the configuration of the amplifier (12) becomes complicated.
