Nextwave DAB-190 : DAB+ Digital Radio With Digital Optical Audio



The Nextwave DAB-190 Digital Radio adaptor is a cost effective way to get high quality DAB+ digital radio on your existing Hi-Fi stereo system.

The stand-out feature of the DAB-190 is that it comes with a Coaxial Digital Audio output.
This means that if your Hi-Fi amp is Digital Audio capable, you get digital audio end to end.

 
It also has line-level stereo outputs via common RCA connectors for use with all Hi-Fi systems.

It comes with a remote control, stereo cable and power adaptor.

The Nextwave DAB-190 doesn't include an internal antenna. Instead it connects to a standard TV aerial for the best possible reception. This is because DAB+ Digital Radio signals are broadcast from the same transmitters as Digital TV.

How To Upgrade an Existing Hi-Fi Audio System to Digital Radio with Plum Audio DAB+ Adaptor

The majority of DAB+ digital radios on the market are stand-alone portables that aren't really suited for connection to an existing Hi-Fi stereo system. Most have mini stereo output sockets that are intended for headsets, etc.

A dedicated adaptor is your best choice and although there are currently only a few on the market, they are affordable and very easy to set up.

The Plum Audio adaptor is an entry level device that does the job well. It has line-level stereo outputs via common RCA connectors. It comes with its own antenna, a remote control, stereo cable and power adaptor.

Just connect the supplied stereo RCA cable to the left and right stereo outputs of the PLUM Audio and the opposite end to any spare stereo audio input on your stereo amplifier or tuner amp.
Plug in the supplied power adaptor and wire antenna, and start the automatic tuning routine.
It will find all the available stations and you are done!

Audio performace is impressive and you will get a great deal more enjoyment from your Hi-Fi for very little outlay!
