Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
|
smoothness and precision....
|
| Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) means your radios signal is transmitted digitally, as a series of zeros and ones as apposed to the traditional FM analogue radio waves. |

DAB is commonly mistaken for radios with a digital display. This is not the case. Look out for the genuine DAB logo (see top right).
Programs are broadcast inside a multiplex which is composed of six to ten radio stations on a single frequency. The result is DAB allows broadcasts of more programs than FM. You dont need a satellite dish to receive the signal just an aerial positioned in the correct place.
