Several hundred quid less than typical DAB receivers
T3 Network, September 2000
VideoLogic Systems is undercutting its competitors with its new DAB Digital Radio Tuner DRX-601E. Breaking the price barrier that's kept digital radio from being adopted by a mass-market, its £299 price tag makes it several hundred quid less than typical DAB receivers currently available. The tuner, which hits shops in November, claims to have a high quality slim-line aluminium fascia with an easy to use interface.
The system is accompanied by a fully featured infra-red remote control for the selection of main channel or secondary service broadcasts. DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) technology provides distortion free, high quality digital radio reception, massively improving on the quality of traditional radio services and offers extensive data transmission capabilities which enable new services to be offered by broadcasters.
Radio stations currently broadcasting in digital in the UK include the Digital One network (www.digitalone.co.uk) which has Classic FM, talkSPORT, Virgin and seven new digital only national stations, local services such as Capital Radio, LBC and BBC Radio 1 - 5.
