Product Information

If you really like DAB radio then it's probably worth a punt, however for us we will wait until these issues have been addressed in version 2. DAB and DAB+ radios with Bluetooth by Pure are modern gadgets that provide better sound than a classic FM radio while offering an extended range of radio programmes. For this reason, they are suitable only for cars with dash or steering wheel controls available to be adapted. DAB radio information is displayed on your existing vehicle radio display, and you control the radio via your existing dash or steering wheel buttons. The gradual implementation of DAB commenced in 1995 in Germany and the UK, the latter of which now boasts one of the most extensive digital radio networks.

Imagination did not originally set out to sell consumer electronics and the first Pure radio was merely a demonstration platform for its DAB decoding chip. However, with DAB+ progressing quickly and most broadcasters moving to digital transmission, we can expect FM to stick around for a while longer without being further developed. A Swiss station that plays Jazz Standards, Swing, Bebop, Soul and Blues – all day long and without being interrupted by commercial breaks or presenters.Compared to FM, DAB+ offers better sound quality, more programme diversity, less disturbances, and at the same time more options for interaction, as they can receive text, images or even videos in addition to sound. Its superiority also shows on another level: While FM only allows for one station per frequency, digital radio enables the consolidation of several radio programmes in a single channel. Other models are the portable, color screen Elan E3 digital radio and the pocket-sized Move 2500 personal radio.

In 2019 Pure launched the long-awaited Braun Audio range of design speakers, referencing the historic LE1 speakers designed by Dieter Rams . It is thus just a question of time before DAB radio will replace FM radio altogether – simply based on the fact that it is better than retro FM radio. But there’s more: DAB has further benefits, including the ability to receive content at high quality – and without any annoying static sound – in even the remotest area.

Both DAB and DAB+ are digital radio transmission standards, with the difference being the technology used. Pure products are available in the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland, [2] and via online suppliers. Our other gripe is that the aerial is designed for fitment to left-hand drive cars and was a pain to install, requiring professional removal of the A-pillar trim.

Back in 2010 however, only 4% of new cars featured DAB and it’s only recently that it became the standard as required by law. Plus, DAB/DAB+ can receive data such as song title, album, artist, album cover images or even videos in addition to sound and music.

We’ve found some excellent DAB radio adapters for your car that will have you enjoying your music more in no time. RDS offers limited additional information such as the name of the radio station while DAB+ digital radio has these additional services at its core. A popular public service broadcaster with a focus on information and background stories in addition to culture. According to the motto “Real Music Matters” the station with its headquarters in London serves the UK with rock music.

This Anker Soundsync is a simple device that plugs into an Aux slot and allows you to wirelessly connect a smartphone to it, allowing for an unintrusive way to wirelessly connect to an older car's entertainment system. In addition, this form of transmission requires the frequency to be re-tuned as soon as there is a change of location, which is unnecessary with digital audio broadcasting. Internet radios with Bluetooth functionality can also be connected to a smartphone to play music from different apps like Apple Music or Spotify.DAB is the predecessor of DAB+ and by now it is integrated as a standard technology for car radios in vehicles destined for the European market. To make things even more tempting, this device also doubles as a hands-free device and can be used to stream music via Bluetooth.
