Abstract

Broadcasters often find it necessary to reduce the dynamic range of certain types of audio program material, either for technical reasons or because of listeners' requirements. This paper describes DSP-based equipment for reducing the dynamic range of musical program material unobtrusively, without introducing the impairments with conventional limiters and compressors.
