Dynamic Range Control - DIGITAL RADIO MAGICBOX Manual

Dynamic range control (DRC)
In DAB+ mode:
The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the
broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for
the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical
music or a chat show�� The dynamic range control signal is
transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each
programme and with your radio you can use this control
signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the
difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) of the
reproduced audio signal�� Changing the dynamic range
can affect the 'loudness' and/or 'quality of sound' of the
programme that you hear so that it will be more suited to
your listening conditions and your own personal listening
requirements�� e��g�� in a noisy environment, where quiet
sounds might be swamped, setting the compression to
maximum will 'boost' the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the
loudest sounds at their original level��
There are 3 levels of compression:
DRC Off - no compression�� This is the default setting��
DRC Low - medium compression��
DRC High - maximum compression��
