DAB Radio
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.
