In laymen terms (myself being the laymen), dynamic range control is a way to control the loudness dynamically. An example will clarify... You are watching a movie and most of the dialect is soft spoken so you have the volume raised fairly high. On occasion there are massive gun fights and because the volume is so loud, the gun fights are unbearably loud. With DRC this would be adjusted dynamically so that the two were seemingly within the same range of volume. You can read more about it for in depth explanations but that's the basic gist. -- "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
