Dynamic range control 

 

   The dynamic range for each radio programme is set by the  

 

broadcaster for each radio station and may be different for  

 

the types of programme broadcast, such as pop or classical  

 

music or a chat show��  The dynamic range control signal is  

 

transmitted in parallel with the audio signal for each  

 

 

programme and with your Touch DAB radio you can use this  

 

control signal to expand or compress the dynamic range (the  

 

difference between the loudest and quietest sounds) 

 

 

of the reproduced audio signal��  Changing the dynamic range  

 

can affect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of sound’ of the    

 

programme that you hear so that it will be more suited to   

 

your listening conditions and your own personal listening   

 

requirements��  e��g�� in a noisy environment, where quiet    

 

sounds might be swamped, setting the compression to    

 

maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the  

 

loudest sounds at their original level��

 

There are 3 levels of compression: 

 

DRC 0 

- no compression��  This is the default setting�� 

 

DRC 1

 - maximum compression��
