DRC
Dynamic Range Control (also known as DRC) can make quieter sounds easier to hear when your radio is used in a noisy
environment. This function is only available for the DAB.
DRC Off – No compression
DRC Low – Medium compression
DRC High – Maximum compression
Setting the compression to maximum will “boost” the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the loudest sounds at their original level.
