Sorry, No.
There is no bandsplitting being done at all to the audio signal.
And itīs absolutely NOT a two band compressor.
Youīve got it all backwards.
From the Dolby website:
http://www.dolby.com/cassette/bcsnr/btype.html
" Dolby B-type Noise Reduction does this by using a SINGLE, SLIDING
COMPRESSION-EXPANSION BAND of frequencies. A sliding band is basically a
filter that can shift its frequency breakpoint up and down. In B-type
noise reduction, the frequency where the noise reduction action just
begins can change from about 300 Hz all the way out to 20,000 Hz."
