The story behind Bug TOO and DAB digital radio

by Wayne Hemingway

Bug TOO

Bug TOO is one seriously cool collaboration between HemingwayDesign

- the founders of award winning label Red or Dead and acclaimed designers of all things affordable from wallpapers through to housing

estates, and PURE - the pioneers

of DAB Digital Radio behind the successful EVOKE-1.

Bug TOO may look cool on your coffee table but it also performs (as you would

, a

O... o

expect from men in white coats who have stroked their pointy beards over this ‘til their chins

were sore) and gives radio clarity and a choice of stations that will make you want to take your old

FM/AM units down to your local Cats Protection League charity shop.

A Concise History of Radio

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831, then his mate Alexander G Bell

came up with the telephone a year later. In the vintage year 1877, Thomas A Edison recorded the

first sound... it was “Mary had a little lamb” and it was a lot more pleasing to the ears than the

entire output of Pop Idol and X Factor.

In 1900 a bloke called Reginald Fessenden used his trusty spark

generator to send the human voice a mile, in 1901 Marconi flew his

kite and topped that with the first transatlantic radio transmission.

Morse code followed then not much happened apart from Radio

on Radio 1 making a daft record about CB’ers.

To a fisherman a Dab is a flounder

To a lover of northern British chip shops a Dab is a

large slice of potato dipped in batter and deep fried.

To you, the purchaser of this fine piece of design technology DAB is

Digital Audio Broadcasting. Listening to the radio whilst holding your rod and

eating fried potato will never be the same again.

win the world cup. However, if you are sat listening to your Bug TOO in South Shields and someone suddenly builds a skyscraper, a tornado comes in off the North Sea and a volcano creates a mountain the size of Everest near the village of Cleadon then listening to DJ TranceMaster mixing a Fat One in a dancehall stylee will be just like you are there strutting your stuff in the disco.

Reception on your Bug TOO remains crystal clear because DAB uses obstacles, i.e. the South Shields Erotic Gherkin Tower, the Twister and the newly formed Geordie Alps as reflectors creating multipath reception conditions to optimise receiver sensitivity. DAB automatically selects the strongest regional transmitter and gives you digital quality without hiss, crackle and pop.

Furthermore DAB radios can carry text and soon pictures and even video on their displays. Imagine lyrics being shown on the screen so you can sing along to all your favourite hits like Atmosphere by Russ Abbot. All together now “Atmosphere, I love a party with...”

As well as music having digital quality, the spoken word comes over as clear as a bell. The huge variety of radio stations available on your DAB set are identified by the station’s name. You don’t have to remember any big numbers with a decimal point. The name of the station appears on the screen and you simply scroll through them to find the one you want. I know that many of you may miss your knob twiddling but take it from us, scrolling is the new knob twiddling.

FM and AM are analogue radio signals and it doesn’t take much to interfere with the signal, just

little things like mountains, bad weather and high rise buildings can ruin that moment when England

Changing stations

Finding stations is much easier with DAB than with your old FM/AM set. When you first switch on Bug TOO it quickly finds all the DAB stations available in your area and puts them in a handy station list.

To change stations, flick through the station list on the bottom of the screen by rocking the navigation button up or down, then press the centre of the navigator button when you see the one you want.

Alternatively, you can fill the screen with the station list while you flick through the stations, press Menu, select Live radio and change the station as above.

Autotuning makes life easy

If you take your Bug TOO travelling or move it around the house you can re-tune your Bug TOO to update the list of stations. Push the Menu button, select DAB options and choose Autotune and your Bug TOO will find and store all the stations for you including any new stations you can get in your area.
