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.
