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system.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
