Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the differences in the dynamic
range between radio stations. For example, when a station is broadcasting popular music, may has a
high level of compression applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level, whereas a
station is broadcasting classical music, will has a little or no compression as the listener requires all
of the highs and lows in the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
•
DRC off
No compression applied.
•
DRC high
High compression applied (this is the default).
•
DRC low
Low compression applied.

SELECT/MENU
