What is DAB+  
DAB+ was developed in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers. DAB+ uses digital compression  
techniques to transform the source material, i.e. music and speech, into better quality audio.  
Interference free reception  
Analogue systems suffer from an effect called multipath distortion. This is caused because waves do not behave in  
an orderly fashion, but bounce and reflect off buildings etc. DAB+ sees this as an advantage and uses the direct and  
reflected signals to actually reinforce the end result, allowing for better service more of the time.  
No need to re-tune  
A single DAB+ frequency can be used to cover the whole of the Australia, so solving many of the problems  
experienced with the earlier analogue system. DAB+ scans automatically and tunes-in all of the available stations in  
your area.  
Scolling text  
Broadcasters can transmit text to your radio. This way you can read the name of the DJ, artist, song title or any other  
information they choose.  
DAB+ coverage  
Check your local coverage at www.digitalradioplus.com.au, or alternatively text 0409-DRPLUS to receive an SMS  
confirming whether you reside in a DAB+ broadcast area.
