DAB Radios: The Next Generation Technology for Radio Lovers

Technological innovations around the world may have affected some of the past technologies that have soon become outdated but there is something that has still managed to maintain its place in our lives. Radio is one of the oldest means of mass communication and although we live in a world where computers have taken over radios still manages to entertain and inform us with the best information it can offer. However, things have changed and radios have evolved quickly according to the technology changes that are been seen around. Today, not many people are aware of Digital Audio Broadcasting that actually started in Europe in 1955 but DAB Radios have become popular around the world.

Portable – Like any regular FM radio DAB radios are portable and small in size and lightweight as well and therefore it can be carried wherever you want. While there are some sites that claim that DAB radios are not very lightweight but new models of DAB radios have come up in the market that makes it very comfortable for the consumers to carry the radio in the vehicle or even when you are heading for a walk.


Stations – If you enjoy lot of international radio stations then you need to look out for DAB radios that can offer you a wide range of international radio stations. However, do note that sometimes you might not be able to listen to those radio stations because of the frequency issues. Some of the consumers that use DAB radios prefer to make use of it all the time because they get to switch to some international radio stations that they can never enjoy with their regular FM radios. These radios have better technology than the regular FM radio and therefore the quality of sound is also very good compared to FM radio.

Lock-In Feature – One of the biggest disappointments of a regular FM radio is that you will need to keep tuning the frequency of the channel to get clear sound especially when you are on the move. Many FM radio users find this frustrating because it interrupts the listening experience. With DAB radios users don''t have to do that because DAB radios come with lock-in feature that locks the channel frequency when it receives clear sound and it will tune the station automatically to ensure that you get clear listening experience all the time. So users can tune in the radio channel for the first time and then forget it as the DAB radio will remember it.

Saves Money – One of the main reasons why more and more consumers are now buying DAB radios compared to FM radios is because it offers a wide range of features that FM radios do not offer. There are many car entertainment companies that have come up with in-built affordable in-built dab radios that can offer consumers with wide range of radio stations. This means that consumers now have the choice to listen to local, national and international radio stations and variety of music genres with the same device.
