What is DAB+
DAB+ was developed in Europe by a consortium of
broadcasters and manufacturers. 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 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 directed
and reflected signals to reinforce the end result, allowing
for better service more of the time.
No Need to Re-tune
A single DAB+ frequency can be used to cover the whole
of the Australia, so solving many problems experienced
with the earlier analogue syste
m. DAB+ scans
automatically and tunes-in all of the available stations in
your area.
Scrolling 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 they choose.
DAB+ Coverage
Check your local coverage at
www.digitalradioplus.com.au, or alternatively text
0409-DRPLUS to receive an SMS confirming whether you
reside in a DAB+ broadcast area.
