Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) eliminates distortion!
Quick history of pocket DAB radio
Pocket DAB radio uses the digital audio signal. The first DAB digital radio was launched by the BBC in 1995. DAB was born to overcome known problems with FM and AM radio signals, which can be badly effected by interferance and distortions from tall buildings, towers and trees. Pocket DAB radio is crystal clear in comparison, making use of the COFDM and MPEG formats which converts an analogue signal into a digital one. Digital Dab radio has been a huge success and there are now well over 1000 stations worldwide.
The big news came in 2007 when a newer, upgraded format was released call DAB+ which unfortunately is not compatible with the older DAB format, but is twice as efficient due to the implementation of AAC+ audio codec.

Plenty of Pocket DAB Radio brands to choose from!
Over the last 15 years two companies have emerged as the main players in the pocket DAB radio market, Pure and Roberts. There are a variety of cheaper, lower quality brands to choose from as well such as Bush, Goodmans and Alba, which are fine if your'e on a budget but will never be a match on sound and looks when compared to the more expensive brands. Two other brands worth highlighting are Vita and Revo who have only recently joined the pocket DAB radio party, and the early reports coming through are extremely encouraging, only time will tell.
PURE! the pocket DAB radio of choice!
Roberts were the original DAB radio brand but Pure are now emerging as the top choice in recent years simply because their designs are more current and they offer the biggest selection of pocket DAB radio models.
