A watershed in the development of DAB
MP3.com, September 2000
VideoLogic Systems - a division of Imagination Technologies - today announces its DAB Digital Radio Tuner DRX-601E. The DRX-601E breaks the price barrier that has kept digital radio from achieving mass-market adoption with a RRP of just £299 (inc. VAT) - several hundred pounds less than typical DAB receivers currently available.
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), whose stations include Classic fm, talkSPORT, Virgin and seven new digital only national stations, local stations such as Capital Radio and LBC, and BBC Radio 1 - 5. The DRX-601E Digital Radio Tuner will be available from a major High Street retail chain from early-November with volume shipments in the stores for Christmas.
Says Kevin Dale, president, VideoLogic: "Advances in digital radio technology and the high level of integration now available allows our DRX-601E tuner to be priced for a mainstream audience without sacrificing great looks and audio quality.
This is the receiver radio fans have been waiting for and marks a watershed in the development of DAB. We intend the DRX-601E to be the catalyst that kick-starts the mass market for digital radio."
