What is DAB+

DAB+ uses digital compression techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music and speech, into better quality

audio.

Interference free reception

Analogue systems suffer from an effect called “multipath distortion”. This is caused because waves do not behave in

an orderly fashion, but bounce and reflect off buildings etc. DAB+ sees this as an advantage and uses the direct and

reflected signals to actually reinforce the end result, allowing for better service most of the time.

Scolling text

Broadcasters can transmit text to your radio. This way you can read the name of the DJ, artist, song title or any other

information that is broadcast.

DAB+ coverage

Check your local coverage at www.digitalradioplus.com.au, or alternatively text 0409-DRPLUS (0409 377 587) to

receive an SMS confirming whether you reside in a DAB+ broadcast area.
