This indicates that 1. was already being processed,
both manually (by the recording engineer gently
boosting softer parts - you'd expect more than 10
dB dynamics for Beethoven's first), and by peak
limiting (again not very intrusive, but essential
for broadcast).
I continued to watch RAI radio 3 on jkmeter...
The second part of the BBC proms concert was
Mahler's 'Das Lied von der Erde' in which
you'd expect even more dynamics. But again
the softest parts were around -10 dB and
digital peak level never went above -9.5.
This was followed by a recording from the
Perugia Jazz Festival. RMS levels between
-3 and +3 dB, and again no peaks above
-9.5 dB.
Sort of indicates how RAI processes the
music it transmits...
