PRODUCTION DATA.
Dynamic range compression (DRC) improves the overall listening experience. Typical music signals are characterized by crest factors (the ratio of peak signal power to average signal power) of 12 dB or more. To avoid audible distortion due to clipping of peak signals, the gain of the DAC channel must be adjusted so as not to cause hard clipping. As a result, the low applied gain during nominal periods causes the perception that the signal is not loud enough. To overcome this problem, the DRC in the PCM512x continuously monitors the output of the DAC Digital Volume control to detect its power level with respect to 0-dB full-scale. When the power level is low, the DRC increases the input signal gain to make it sound louder, and reduces the gain during peaks to avoid hard clipping. The DRC enables louder audio during nominal periods with a clearer, more pleasant listening experience.
The 3-band DRC function applies DRC to 3 different mono/stereo signals with 3 different time constants. The same DRC curve is applied on all the signals, enabling a multi-band DRC solution. The underlying DRC algorithm is the same as that available with the DRC component in PurePath Studio. In this instance, the DRC gain acts on each signal in time-multiplexed order, for example, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
