DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and DAB+ use digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception
compared to analog signals.
DAB+ is based on the original DAB standard but uses a more efficient audio codec.
DAB and DAB+ are broadcast in blocks of data called "ensembles" containing up to several radio stations that
are simultaneously broadcast.
DAB and DAB+ can also include an extensive amount of text information, enabling you to select a station by
name.
Other information, such as the ensemble name or the status of the digital signal, can be displayed on the
information display.
"DAB" described in this manual may also refer to "DAB+".
