What is compressed??

Hi Harnellt,

Most probably that feature is included on your machine to provide greater control when you listen under less than optimum conditions. When listening at low volumes or in areas of high ambient noise the very softest passages in the music may be masked. Adjusting for less dynamic range will limit the peaks of the music but also make the softer passages more pronounced by allowing you adjust the volume control higher than you would without the control enacted.

That control may also let you make recordings for use in your car which has relatively high ambient noise levels.

Best,

Barry
