Ensemble, station and service
The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between DAB
and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different
frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With
DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same
frequency. In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency
is called an ensemble.

DAB reception method on this unit
Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast
frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For
this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be
created and then selected from those memorized stations.

As shown in the above diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of
stations which have primary services, they can also have secondary
services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from
different areas can all be broadcast at once.
