In a method and apparatus for transmission of signals, an input signal is supplied to at least one dynamic compressor and the dynamics of the signal is compressed by the dynamic compressor with a degree of compression. The compressed signal is subsequently adapted, in particular limited, in terms of its frequency bandwidth dependent on the degree of compression, such as directly dependent on the degree of compression or dependent on a reference value directly associated with the degree of compression, such as the input level of the signal before the dynamic compressor.
