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...
