AN OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL AUDIO

BROADCASTING (DAB)

This section gives a brief overview of digital radio, or DAB as it is also

known, along with some useful addresses if you require further

information.

The Cambridge Audio DAB300 lets you receive and listen to the

abundance of digital radio broadcasts available. DAB uses digital

signals rather than traditional analogue transmissions, providing clear,

high quality reception.

Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called multiplexes. Each

multiplex contains a number of stations, transmitted at a set frequency,

which the DAB300 decodes. The DAB300 can receive multiplexes

broadcast on Band III DAB frequencies. The number of multiplexes and

radio stations you receive will vary depending on your location. With

DAB, radio stations have labels for identification. Instead of needing to

know a particular frequency to listen to your favourite broadcast you can

simply select the station name.

DAB also enables broadcasters to transmit additional data with the

audio, which takes in other audio channels, text and in the future,

perhaps computer data and images. Additional data, such as text

containing programme or multiplex information, is shown on the

DAB300’s display.
