Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source’s full dynamic range (the difference between very loud and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desirable to reduce the dynamic range. For exam- ple, when playing a movie late at night, loud explo- sions might wake sleeping family members.

d. range button solves this dilemma by progressive- ly lowering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds.
