10.5 DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Some DAB network radio stations support a volume control
feature that actively takes effect during playback. If the
volume suddenly increases, DRC automatically lowers it.
If the volume suddenly becomes quieter, DRC automatically
raises it. The same happens when playback is suddenly
quiet. The radio then increases the volume again.
DRC high:
total equalisation of different volumes. Strong
compression can audibly reduce the dynamics of a music title.
DRC low:
partial equalisation of different volumes.
More subtle compression, without too much loss of dynamics.
DRC off:
no equalisation
