DAB Digital radio stations are
broadcast in multiplexes. Each multiplex is a bundle of
radio stations transmitted in a single frequency. There
are national and local multiplexes; local ones contain
name of the multiplex name that contains the station
you are listening to.

AUDIO BIT RATE:
DAB allows broadcasters to vary the
BIT RATE (or the amount by which an audio signal can

This enables the number of stations on a multiplex to
be maximised. Speech and News are often broadcast
at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher Bit Rate for
good quality.
