Sony introduces its first DAB+ radios
1 Apr 2011
Sony is introducing its first DAB+ portable radios, the XDR-S16DBP (above) and XDR-C706DBP.
Both have DAB+ and FM tuners, the former using a more efficient form of encoding for enhanced sound quality. DAB+ is being rolled out across several European countries, although it's not yet available in the UK.
The stereo XDR-S16DBP has a wooden cabinet, 10 DAB/DAB+ presets, plus a further ten presets for FM stations.
There's also a sleep timer, headphone jack and LCD display.
The XDR-C706DBP clock radio has the same number of presets as its sibling, a snooze button, and up to four separate alarm settings can be programmed.

Please bring DAB+ to the UK. Normal DAB is a downgrade from FM/AM.
These will be in charity shops long before we get DAB+ in the UK.
