  • Method and system for compressing the dynamic range of audio signals
    Patent number: 5471651
    Abstract: An audio signal has its dynamic range compressed by a system which first samples a block of the audio signal (10), typically several seconds long. The level of the signal in this block is analyzed (12, 14) and an ideal signal level is calculated for the block (16, 18, 20). A gain control signal is then derived which adjusts the gain applied to that block towards that required to give the calculated ideal signal level.
