I'm about to order a PCB from one of those chinese manufacturers, the ones who sell 5 dual layer 10x10cm boards for 2 dollars + shipping. But this article from ETI UK was posted on the american radio history website: https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Electronics-Today-UK/70s/Electronics-Today-1974-06.pdf and it shows 4 resistors I wasn't counting on, R71 to R74, those not being showed on SQ Quadraphonic - A Dead Surround Audio Format.... or is it?, my 1st source for such circuit. Upon seeing the original circuit, I did some simulations with and without the omitted resistors and came to the following conclusions: on Adrian Bruce's Art&Technology version, Rf and Lf give out about 822mV with an output impedance of about 6Kohms and Rb output gives out [email protected] and Lf [email protected] and, as it supposed to be, the voltage on the four outputs was the same upon adding the 2 resistors at Rf and Lf, but the output impedance was increased by 9.4Kohms at Rf and Lf. During the simulation I fed both inputs with a 500mV@1KHz. So, Is it expected for the rear channels to have a lower voltage level and also a lower output impedance? If so, how much lower should the rear impedance be compared to the front impedance? About 5 times, thus making R71 to R74 necessary?
