Digital Ra io (option)
Digital Radio (DAB) reception – the digital
future of radio.If yourT32R has the optional
DAB module fitted, you will be able to
receive Digital Radio.With Digital Radio
you get pure,clear,noise-free sound – all
the time.Furthermore,digital broadcasting
uses the airwaves very efficiently,which
means broadcasters can transmit a wider
range of programmes.Digital Radio can
provide, on top of the radio programme,a
host of additional services such as valuable
background information or supporting facts.
Our software-upgradable DAB receiver
module is based on the latest technology,
which is made available toTAG McLaren
Audio’s requirements by leading company
Bosch Multimedia Systems in Germany.It is
capable of receiving DAB transmissions on
both band III (174 MHz - 240 MHz) and L-
band (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz) using a
common 50Ωantenna.It supports all known
DAB modes (I, II,III and IV),features high
selectivity through the use of a high-order
recursive digital filter and supports the full
sampling rate of 48kHz and the half sampling
rate of 24kHz.
Although Digital Radio is a totally new way
of broadcasting, it has been thoughtfully
integrated into theT32R so that Digital Radio
is as simple as selecting any other‘band’.
stable internal DAB timing clock
The timing of digital data decoded from the
DAB signal is as important as the data itself.
Timing inaccuracy,known as‘jitter’,is
responsible for a wide range of subtle
distortions.In theT32R,TAG McLarenAudio
uses its award-winning CD reproduction
technology to reduce jitter by using a very
stable electronic clock,which is synchronized
to the DAB data to provide accurate timing
and hence a more transparent sound.
