Dialnorm/Compress Field - Motorola DSR-6403 Operator's Manual

DialNorm/Compress Field

DialNorm is an abbreviation for Dialog Normalization. This field enables or disables dialog
normalization and allows control of the degree of audio level compression. Press the 4 button
until the cursor is at the DialNorm/Compress label, and press ENTER to move into the field.
Press the  buttons to display the options:
On-Moderate
On-Off
Off-Off
On-Heavy
Press ENTER to confirm the selection and exit the field.
Note: When dialog normalization is enabled, the audio levels for speech are normalized to a
constant level for all channels. The volume of the dialogue is thus raised or lowered to a level that
is appropriate for the background sound track.
DSR-6400 Series
Default: On-Moderate
Enables dialog normalization. The degree of compression is moderate,
which provides some reduction and amplification of the audio signal, but
the thresholds are wider apart, providing moderate dynamic range of the
audio signal.
Enables dialog normalization. Compression is not used and provides full
dynamic range of the audio signal.
Disables dialog normalization. Compression is not used and provides full
dynamic range of the audio signal.
Enables dialog normalization. The degree of compression is heavy, which
reduces the louder audio signals and boosts the softer signals using tighter
compression thresholds, in order to eliminate dramatic fluctuations in the
audio signal level and suppress dynamic range of the audio signal.
