1. A communication system providing a relatively high fidelity audio signal and an audio signal transmission channel characterized by a pass band which is narrower than and respectively transmits only a portion of the frequency components making up such relatively high fidelity audio signal, signal processing means for processing the relatively high fidelity audio signal components and improving the fidelity thereof as utilized in receiver means receiving an audio signal input only from such transmission channel, said signal processing means comprising:

  • means for eliminating a narrow sub-band of frequencies from the audio signal;

    means translating low frequencies of such audio signals which do not fall within said pass band to obtain a frequency-displaced signal having frequency components which fall within a relatively narrow sub-band of less than 500 cps;

    means applying such frequency-displaced signal to the relatively low fidelity transmission channel at the portion of the eliminated sub-band;

    means receiving such frequency-displaced signal;

    means for restoring such frequency-displaced signal to its original frequency range; and

    a summation circuit for adding the stored frequency-displaced signal to the receiver means.
