Dynamic Range Compression (DRC)
Some DAB broadcasts offer Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). This feature allows radios to compress the dynamic
range of the output audio stream, so that the volume of quiet sounds is increased, and the volume of loud sounds is
reduced. This can be useful if you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment (for
example, classical music while centering). To change the DRC setting for this device, select
Menu > DRC
, and then
choose between DRC high, DRC low or DRC off.
Note:
The DRC setting does not have any effect if DRC data is not included in the broadcast.
Station order
You can choose the order of the DAB station list to be either Alphanumeric or Ensemble. Ensemble lists groups of
