Figure 11: Dynamics Adaption plugin
This plugin reduces the dynamic range of the played audio to a constant value. This is useful when listening
to a desired play list with songs that have quite a different loudness - for example while having a dinner with
friends. With this plugin your play list will be played with overall the same loudness impression.
To adjust how strong this dynamic range reduction should affect the playback you can set the Dynamic
Level. If you want to have less dynamics left in the output choose a low Dynamic Level. If you want to have
still a lot of dynamics left but avoid loud peaks increase the Dynamic Level again. We recommend you to
start with a Dynamic Level at 0dB.
Note, the Dynamics Adaption algorithm apparently depends on the level fed into the algorithm. We recom-
mend to feed the DAC50x-4ch with the maximally possible level. I.e. have any digital level control which
may be sitting in front of the DAC50x-4ch (like e.g. a network player output) set to the maximal level.
