Digital radio platform group DRM Consortium has released a technical guide for consumer radio compatibility with Digital Radio Mondiale reception.
The DRM Consumer Radio Receiver Functionality Recommendation “describes and defines the core functional parameters of consumer radio receivers capable of receiving DRM radio broadcasts.”
A release adds, “As DRM is being increasingly rolled out, adopted and demonstrated globally such a document is necessary to offer a guide to receiver manufacturers, but also broadcasters and regulators, so that consumers get a common and consistent DRM digital radio experience.”
DRM Consortium Chairman Ruxandra Obeja said, “The guide will allow manufacturers the freedom and flexibility to produce receivers of variable degree of complexity that offer a consistently good experience for the listener. It also allows for receivers to incorporate applications and services, like distance learning, emergency warning, that fully meet the needs of many economically and socially diverse communities across the continents. The guide will become thus an essential tool in the DRM ecosystem that will bring receivers in numbers, with the adequate functionality, to the countries embracing the DRM standard and their millions of listeners.”
