Dynamic Compression

GB

Dynamic Compression constrains the dynamic range, i.e. the difference between the quietest and loudest passages of a DVD soundtrack. This enables you to limit loud noises, such as explosions, or raise the volume of quiet passages, such as whispering, while watching a movie. This is convenient for viewing movies late at night.
