DAB radios and digital radio - what is it?

FM radio has for many years been the way we have received radio, regardless of whether it is at home, at work or in the car. The way in which FM radio is broadcast is analogue, which means, among other things, that the quality is limited compared to digital radio such as DAB.

You can roughly compare traditional FM radio with a tape with music. The sound is excellent but quite limited in quality. If FM radio is a cassette tape, we can compare and say that DAB radio is a CD.

Here, the quality of the music played is significantly higher and more undisturbed. You get many more details with modern radio tuners that can play DAB radio. It can mean a lot when you listen to good music, whether the quality is good or not.

Where a CD player can give you significantly better sound when listening to music, compared to a cassette tape player, DAB radio can do the same for you, compared to FM radio.

DAB radio with bluetooth and streaming

There is a large selection of different DAB radios on the market today. Many of them offer both DAB and FM tuners, so you can listen to both formats. In addition to being able to listen to the radio, on many modern models you can also listen to music from other sources. It can be wireless via Bluetooth, for example, while some models even have internet radio and streaming built in.

When choosing your new DAB radio, it can be advantageous to choose a DAB radio with several smart functions, so you have it all in one device. Especially for the kitchen living room, the bedroom or the like, there are today many smart table radios with built-in DAB radio, so you can have it all in the same device, and store several channels at the same time.

Not only that they most modern DAB radios offer wireless Bluetooth streaming, there are also internet radios with other streaming options, such as Spotify Connect and TIDAL. Some even offer that you can charge your phone either via cable or wirelessly via the QI standard.

One of the advantages of choosing a digital DAB radio is, as mentioned above, that you get digital audio - i.e. digital sound. When sound is played digitally, you will often be able to get more data in the same signal, which can be translated directly into better sound that you get out of your speakers.

Will DAB radio still work when FM radio is closed?

When the FM band closes, DAB+ will remain as the airborne radio signal of the future. DAB+ is the digital radio standard of FM and offers smarter channel search and noise-free connection.

Even if the FM band were to close, all FM sound systems will not necessarily become obsolete. There is a sea of DAB+ adapters or tuners that can give new life to an existing system, a B&O radio, or FM car radios via the AUX socket.

Which is better, an internet radio or a dab radio?

The choice between an internet radio and a DAB radio depends on your individual needs and circumstances. Here are some considerations to help make the decision:

• Range of stations: Internet radios provide access to thousands of stations from around the world, while DAB radios are typically limited to national and local stations.
• Sound quality: DAB radios generally have better sound quality than FM radios, but internet radios can potentially offer even higher quality, depending on the streaming speed.
• Availability: DAB radios require DAB signal which is not available everywhere, especially in more remote areas. Internet radios require a stable internet connection, which is also not available everywhere, but WiFi is often more commonly available than DAB signal.

In general, an internet radio is a good choice if you want access to a wide range of stations and have a stable internet connection. A DAB radio may be a better choice if you primarily listen to local or national stations and have a strong DAB signal.
