Listening to the DAB+

■ About DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission sys-
tem where audio signals are converted to digital signals
for broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data
called multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or
more stations (services). Each station contains a primary
service and there may be one or more secondary serv-
ices. This allows several programmes or services to be
transmitted on a single frequency.
