Automatic Gain Limit (DRC)
The DRC scheme has a single programmable threshold. There is one ganged DRC for the high-band left/right
channels and one DRC for the low-band left/right channels.
The DRC input/output diagram is shown in Figure 48.
Professional-quality dynamic range compression automatically adjusts volume to flatten volume level.
• Each DRC has adjustable threshold levels.
• Programmable attack, release, and softening-filter constants
• Transparent compression: compressors can attack fast enough to avoid apparent clipping before engaging,
and decay times can be set slow enough to avoid pumping.

Figure 49. DRC Filter Structure
DRC acts more like a gain limiter (automatic gain limiter, AGL). The block works to reduce the peak of energy if it
goes beyond the programmable threshold level. DRC starts an attack event (reduces gain) if energy goes above
the threshold. Similarly, it starts a release event if the level goes below the threshold (increases gain back to the
original value).
