I have a dab radio in the kitchen and the living room. Why is the one in the kitchen about ten seconds behind?

Of course! Why didn't I think of that. Does it mean our kitchen is in a different time zone?

Clearly. By 10 seconds. Don't call it 'kitchen' call it 'Hawaii' - it will make making a cup of tea more of an adventure. Anyway, the day after tomorrow, this present time will be in the past. So think ahead to that.

Turn them on at the same time instead of 10 seconds after the other.

It is not hard to understand. The kitchen in the radio is part of the U^3*S/4 = M/E over 1.00041 by arg{l/c*pi} equilibrium. Your lounge is outside those parameters.

Turn either one off.

Give them both a kck.

Alternatively, close the door so you can only hear one at a time.

Thank you,

Something along those lines, though comparing it with the speaking clock seems a little harsh.

Make the walk to the kitchen take ten seconds. Then you don't miss anything or hear a bit repeated

But run back into the lounge in the talking bits.

I've been looking in to this as I have noticed the same phenomenon...

If you sit an analogue FM radio and a DAB digital radio next to each other, both tuned to the same radio station, you’ll notice a one or two second time difference.

The main cause of the delay is down to the way that radio channels are combined together (multiplexed) and compressed. The digital technology is used to squeeze loads of channels onto a single frequency. Your digital radio receiver is receiving the encoded and compressed signals, and using an onboard microprocessor to decode the incoming data and convert to video & audio. This encoding and decoding process takes a little processing time, hence the delay.

DAB is encoded using a system called MUSICAM before it is transmitted, and your radio decodes this for playback.

If you’re technically-minded, the detailed explanation is that the time interleaver introduces a 384 microsecond delay and the audio coder/decoder introduces a delay of several tens of milliseconds.

Thanks, you saved me the effort of writing all that myself.

In effect a DAB is a small computer (as is a digital TV). Some will decode the signal faster than others. This can also cause a difference in the final audio output (or video) between two different pieces of equipment.

Yes, I'd already deduced that it's the decoder speed, possibly coupled with the streaming cache used. They only decode from MP2, so the units don't have much processing power.

Hence my question about if they were the same make and model.

Short answer... Are you sure there both tuned to dab!

I often tune mine to fm without thinking because when you power it up it automatically chooses fm and not dab

In my experience the same make of about the same age seem to be mire in sync with each other than different makes or especially different aged models.

Basically DAB is crap. The audio quality is poor compared to FM. Radio designers struggle to achieve half decent performance. A number have passed through my hands. A couple were junked and the rest went to charity shops. And the God awful BBC intend to abandon FM in favour of DAB.
