ratings, because principally, radio programs whose reception is louder than the average are preferred by the
listener. By achieving a bigger audience, the broadcast station gains more money from the increasing number

What Is Volume?
Volume is defined as the relationship between the average level of program material to peak-to-peak level, in
response to amplitude and duration. The higher the average level and the time it remains at a high level, the
louder the program material will be perceived by the listener.
If you want to run your broadcast station at maximum average volume, proceed as mentioned in chapter 6.1.2
The AUTOCOM PRO In Mastering. Please make sure that the maximum peak level is below the threshold of
the transmitters limiter, otherwise this could lead to very hard and audible use of the transmisson limiters.
Keep in mind that a heavy increase in average volume by means of compression always leads to a loss in
dynamics and an increased perception of side effects. The intense use of all functions of the AUTOCOM PRO,
including sidechain filtering, IKA, Attack and Release time constants, results in higher average volumes, free
of distortion and side effects.
