SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHAT IS DAB ?
The DAB system is a new digital format, which can provide crystal-clear, near CD-quality audio
and good reception even when moving in cars or trains.
A DAB broadcast consists of a high speed data stream on a radio channel called an Ensemble.
An Ensemble is made up of several service components, which can be individual radio stations
or data services. Each service, or station can carry other useful information in addition to the
audio signal, such as the name of the station, news headlines or program information.
This is displayed on your DR201 when the station is selected.
A key feature of DAB radio is that stations can be added when additional channels are required
for a particular time and events. For example, an extra secondary station or secondary service
could be added for the commentary on a sports event. At the end of the event, the listener is
automatically returned to the primary service or station.
