Product Information

Both DAB and DAB+ are digital radio transmission standards, with the difference being the technology used. DAB uses older technology and has less power than DAB+. With increased power, DAB+ provides better sound quality and an extended choice of radio stations, which is why DAB+ is viewed as more future-proof and is replacing DAB in an increasing number of countries. How to receive digital radio like DAB, DAB+ radio Unfortunately, to use wireless headphones with a DAB radio you need an extra piece of equipment—a Bluetooth transmitter. Compared to FM (Frequency Modulation) radios, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radios offer several advantages. DAB+ digital radios have been developed and launched in Europe from the late 1980s. They transmit radio signals digitally, resulting in better sound quality. In addition, DAB radios offer an extended choice of content, as more radio stations (radio programmes) can be transmitted on a single frequency. DAB radios are less prone to failure and come with less static noise than FM radios. At the same time they offer more options for interaction, as they can receive text, images or even videos in addition to sound. The 2-inch TFT screen on this Pure digital radio allows for easy navigation, with 20 station presets available so you can skip straight to your favourites. Despite the prevalence of music streaming, many still prefer the ease of radio. And who can blame them? It’s free, easily accessible, and you don’t need to rely on an internet connection.

We make sure to test each model in a range of environments and against its chief competitors too, so you can be sure that the product will work just as well in your home, in whichever spot you've chosen to put it. We live with these radios in our homes to make sure that the performances are consistent, and we don't finalize our testing until we are certain of the sound quality. The Roberts Revival Petite is an item that, without a scale of reference, appears roughly the size of a shoebox, but it's actually the size of a Greggs custard slice and is so beautifully styled – in such mouth-watering retro colourways – you may experience what psychologists call 'cute aggression' and want to try to break it. Once this illogical urge subsides however, this newest, smallest and most affordable radio in Roberts' retroRevivalrange reveals itself to be a serious, stone-cold winner. We like the retro-modern design. It's easy to use and the audio quality is impressive, too, with a weighty, grippy sound. You have to pay more for those extra features (and the room-filling sound) but if you want a premium radio with a whole lot more on offer than just DAB radio – and even act as your main sound system – this could well be the one for you. There is nothing worse than investing in electronics, only to find them rendered redundant in a few years. This is particularly true of radios. When shopping for a portable digital radio, look for models advertised as ‘Future Ready’. These systems are designed for use beyond the full digital switchover, ensuring the radio you invest in is fit for purpose for years to come.
