Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

DRC adds or removes a degree of compen- sation 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 lis- tener 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 (This is the default.).

DRC1/2: Medium compensation applied.
