Key Features
Built-in DAB/+ Tuner
DAB is a digital radio technology for broadcasting radio stations, used in various countries particularly in Europe. In comparison to traditional AM and FM radios, DAB delivers cleaner, crisper sound due to the noise reduction implemented. Furthermore an upgraded DAB+ was released in 2007, which features a higher audio quality and better reception. Kenwood's built-in DAB+ receivers are maximised in design, top-end performance and affordability.
Using the latest digital chip set means listening to digital radio on the move is free of annoying breaks and distortion. Clever technology will even switch from DAB to FM (and back again) if there is a local signal problem.
