Using the DAB Radio
Dynamic Range Control
DRC adds or removes a degree of
compression to compensate for the
differences in the dynamic range
between radio stations. For example, a
station broadcasting popular music may
have a high level of compression applied
since the emphasis is on a constant
high listening level, whereas a station
broadcasting classical music will have
little or no compression as the listener
requires all of the highs and lows in the
music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
• OFF No compression applied.
• HIGH Maximum compression applied
(this is the default).
• LOW Medium compression applied.
The best way to determine which of
these settings suits you best is to
experiment with them on a variety of
source material.
1. Press the INFO/MENU button to
access the menu control.
2. Use the CHANNEL +/- button to
select the DRC option.
3. Press the SELECT button. The
current DRC level will be displayed on
line 2 of the display.
4. Press the CHANNEL +/- button to
select between the three DRC values.
The available options appear on line 3
of the display.
5. When the required DRC value is
displayed press the SELECT button
to confirm. You should be able to
hear the difference in compression
immediately.
6. Prune station.
