Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

DRC adds or removes a degree of compen-
sation 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 lis-
tener 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
(This is the default.).
DRC1/2: Medium compensation applied.
