DAB Radio

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

DRC adds or removes a degree of
compensation for the differences in the dynamic
range between radio stations. For example, a
station broadcasting popular music may have a
high level of compensation applied since the
emphasis is on a constant high listening level,
whereas a station broadcasting classical music
will have little or no compensation as the listener
requires all of the highs and lows in the music to
define the detail.
There are three levels of compensation:
DRC 0: No compensation applied.
DRC 1: Maximum compensation applied.
(the default)
DRC1/2: Medium compensation applied.
