Attack and release events occur only when level remains above or below the threshold continuously during the

time-constant time. And the constant time is controlled by the attack/release rate. If the attack/release rate is

short, DRC operates frequently. Attack time defines how fast to cut the signal to bring it under the threshold.

Similarly, release time defines how fast to release the cut back to normal. Attack and release are shown in

Figure 50.

Figure 50. Attack/Release

The device should be in all-channel shutdown when DRC parameters are changed. The TAS57X GDE (GUI)

takes care of this when changing DRC parameters.

TAS5715 supports two-band and one-band DRC. Two-band DRC helps to get the maximum sound levels out of

small, thin, low-cost speakers. It protects speakers from being overdriven/damaged and stops cabinet rattle

without sacrificing loudness.

In the two-band DRC mode, audio is split into to high-band and low-band. The bands have separate thresholds

and attack/decay filters.

Configuration is as shown in Figure 51. DRC1 (upper band) and DRC2 (lower band) can be programmed using

GDE. Default values for attack and decay filters cover most of the cases. Only thresholds require updating,

depending on the power levels for the upper and lower bands.
