Buying Guide to Select the Best Tabletop Radios with Large Speakers
What does DAB mean, and above all, what is it? DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting or to put it in our own words, digital audio broadcasting.
What is it about? It is a broadcasting standard that allows, in fact, the sound propagation of what is transmitted by radio broadcasters. But perhaps it is not yet clear what is unique about this standard. The answer is simple: better sound quality.
The Audio Quality of A Compact Disc
For a complete and exhaustive discussion on the best digital radio, it is appropriate to clarify. Since the birth of this standard, advocates have compared audio quality to that of a CD. Not everyone agreed with these claims, especially audiophiles who considered the DAB standard far from the quality of a CD.
The criticisms were not clear-cut so much so that in 2007 the European Institute for Standards in Telecommunications (ETSI) replaced the DAB with the DAB +, and things have improved.
Be careful because although the current standard is DAB +, it continues to be called simplifying, DAB, but it does not mean that the radio you are buying works with the old standard (as long as it is not a model before 2007).
The Sensitivity of Reception
Compared to an FM radio, the DAB radio has a higher reception sensitivity. It is equally valid that the level of sensitivity is not the same for all models.
So a criterion that suggests how to choose a good digital radio is the high sensitivity. For this purpose, it is advisable to compare different models, taking into account the reviews written online by users.
Keep in mind that the entire surface of the Italian territory is not “covered” in the same way by the digital signal, and there are several “holes,” in particular in the center and south.
Before embarking on the purchase, therefore, carefully evaluate the degree of coverage of the city or region in which you live. We believe that a test is the best method to know if the X model has good sensitivity but also to understand if the service well covers the area where you live.
Sound Quality
It has been said of how the DAB standard aspired to obtain an audio quality identical to that of a CD. If you have a stereo system, you know that for quality listening only CD is not enough: you need an amplifier of the best brand, a good player and excellent speakers.
What do we mean? That although using the same standard, there are digital radios that have superior sound quality. Also, in this case, both the experiences of those who have already bought a specific model and the listening that you can do in person, perhaps at a shop, are valid indicators that can suggest or advise against the purchase.
Large Display and Hybrid Radio
When asking which digital radio to buy, you also hold the display in high regard. Colors, contrast, lighting are all essential details as well as the size of the screen and the touch functions. The bigger the display, the more information can be seen by the user.
But it is not over: maybe the model for you is the hybrid one, that is, a device that can also receive radio stations that transmit on the network. On the market, you will find many such tools.
Excellent Reception
To read the comments published on the net, it seems that everyone agrees on the reception of the radio, wanting to summarize the opinions expressed online; it is excellent, and there is no need to orient the antenna, at least in the vast majority of cases.
After all, those who buy such a radio do it primarily for the sensitivity of reception, and this model does not disappoint even a little in this respect.
Tuning is an effortless operation thanks to the five DAB direct preset buttons and as many for the FM signal. Whether you like falling asleep with the radio on or waking up with your favorite station, it is no problem, thanks to the alarm function and sleep timer. The management of these functions is straightforward, but we warn you that there is no automatic summer adjustment.
Good Audio
You are undoubtedly asking yourself questions about audio quality. We want to reassure you immediately: our impressions are positive.
The speaker is only one, so for stereo listening, you will have to rely on good headphones, but the mono sound is still satisfactory, even if the bass is a bit lacking. However, it must be remembered that we are not talking about a Hi-Fi system.
The display is not very large but is still five lines long and clearly shows the information relating to the music program being listened to and the broadcaster that is transmitting it. Moreover, it is well lit, although not particularly colorful.
Solid
In the choice of materials, Sony paid no attention to savings. The sensations to the touch are reassuring, and one immediately understands that the plastics are right and resistant. A speech that we also extend to the buttons completely satisfying us for their response and solidity.
Of course, according to some, the radio is a bit heavy (1.04 kg with batteries) and therefore it gives some small nuisance if you want to carry it in your bag or backpack perhaps for a picnic with music it is a problem relative. As for the power supply, the possibility is twofold with the cable to be connected to the mains or with the batteries.
