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 Dynamic Range
Control (DRC) 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).

DRC MODE: AUTO
Utilizes the DRC data (if transmitted).
The dynamic range of the signal is
compressed, enhancing the audio
quality at low volumes or in a noisy
environment.
