DRC MODE
Dynamic range is the decibel (dB) range between the highest and lowest sounds in a broadcast. Some DAB broadcasters transmit a wide dynamic range (enabling high quality sound), accompanied by DRC (Dynamic Range Control) data. DRC can be used to compress the dynamic range of the broadcast, making softer sounds easier to hear. This is especially useful when listening to a DAB service in a noisy environment or at a low volume (such as at night).
