DAB+ digital radios are the latest evolution in radio broadcasting. Unlike analogue FM broadcasts, the new DAB and DAB+ have better sound quality, better connectivity and a far more extensive selection of stations. What are the most important parameters for DAB+/DAB radio?
What Are DAB/DAB+ Radios and Why Are They Replacing Analogue Radio Broadcasting?
Although the DAB standard is not new, it has only recently started to become more widespread—particularly after the DAB+ upgrade. DAB radio is being discontinued, so be sure to look for DAB+ radios. Compared to analogue broadcasting, digital broadcasting is far more efficient. It offers enhanced sound quality without distortion and is capable of transmitting a greater volume of data.

A conventional DAB+ radio usually has a telescopic antenna, which is sufficient for everyday listening.
RDS radios receive additional data (text, pictures) with the radio, which they display on-screen.
DAB+ antennas significantly improve signal range and quality. They also support the DVB-T2 television standard.
