Gift Ideas For The
Festive Seasons
|
|
When looking for ideas for the perfect gift for someone,
why not buy them a DAB Digital Radio? The sound quality,
range of advanced functions and ease of use will show you've
really thought about their gift. Click here
for a selection of DAB Digital Radios which you feel will
really catch the eye of the one you love or even your business
clients.
There are currently more than 40 different
DAB products available in many shops in Singapore that include
hi-fi tuner, portable as well as in-car receivers, and macro-systems.
Prices have dropped tremendously since DAB was launched
here more than 6 years ago. The cheapest DAB car radio now
costs less than S$600 compared to S$4,000 back in 1999.
The most affordable model in Singapore costs less than S$170.
DAB penetration in Singapore has experienced an exponential
growth over the past three years since 2003 with a record
growth of 82% in 2005. The numbers of local DAB retailers
have also been growing steadily over the past three years.
DAB receivers are now sold in the major shopping districts,
for example, along Orchard Road such as Tangs' Technobay,
Paragon, Courts, Best Denki and Harvey Norman, just to name
a few. It is no longer confined to the specialist hi-fi
shops such as The Adelphi and Sim Lim Square.
Take part in our Digital Radio SMS
quiz now, and you stand a chance to walk away with a
DAB radio.
