8 About DAB

About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting radio via a network of terrestrial

transmitters. It provides listeners with more choice and information delivered in

crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.

– With DAB digital stations there are no frequencies to remember, and sets are

tuned by station name, so there's no returning on the move.

What is a multiplex?

Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a

multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spectrum, such as Band III for

DAB broadcasts.

DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS

Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator) also provides text and audio data

services. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments (DLS).

This is data which you can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio display. Some

stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather, what's on now and next,

website addresses and phone numbers.
