Evolution

The story behind The Bug and DAB digital radio

by Wayne Hemingway

The Bug

The Bug is one seriously cool collaboration between

hEMINGWAYdESIGN - the founders of award winning label Red

or Dead and acclaimed designers of all things affordable from

wallpapers through to housing estates, and PURE - the pioneers

of DAB Digital Radio behind the successful EVOKE-1.

The Bug may look cool on your coffee table but it also performs (as you would

expect from men in white coats who have stroked their pointy beards over this ‘til their chins

were sore) and gives radio clarity and a choice of stations that will make you want to take your old FM/AM

units down to your local Cats Protection League charity shop.

A Concise History of Radio

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831, then his mate Alexander G Bell

came up with the telephone a year later. In the vintage year 1877, Thomas A Edison recorded the

first sound... it was “Mary had a little lamb” and it was a lot more pleasing to the ears than the

entire output of Pop Idol and Fame Academy.

In 1900 a bloke called Reginald Fessenden used his trusty spark

generator to send the human voice a mile, in 1901 Marconi flew his

kite and topped that with the first transatlantic radio transmission.

Morse code followed then not much happened apart from Radio

Caroline sinking in 1980 and someone called The Hairy Cornflake

on Radio 1 making a daft record about CB’ers.

But then came DAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting.

The Bug... ooooh, aaah

EVOKE-1...boxybutgood

Mr Marconi - this radio’ll never take off

Caroline goes down

DAB

To a fisherman a Dab is a flounder

To a lover of northern British chip shops a Dab is a

large slice of potato dipped in batter and deep fried.

To you, the purchaser of this fine piece of design technology DAB is

Digital Audio Broadcasting. Listening to the radio whilst holding your rod and

eating fried potato will never be the same again.

FM and AM are analogue radio signals and it doesn’t take much to interfere with the signal, just

little things like mountains, bad weather and high rise buildings can ruin that moment when England win

the world cup. However, if you are sat listening to your Bug in South Shields and someone suddenly builds a

skyscraper, a tornado comes in off the North Sea and a volcano creates a mountain the size of Everest near the village

of Cleadon then listening to DJ TranceMaster mixing a Fat One in a dancehall stylee will be just like you are there

strutting your stuff in the disco.

Reception on your Bug remains crystal clear because DAB uses obstacles, i.e. the South Shields Erotic Gherkin Tower,

the Twister and the newly formed Geordie Alps as reflectors creating multipath reception conditions to optimise

receiver sensitivity. DAB automatically selects the strongest regional transmitter and gives you digital quality without

hiss, crackle and pop.

Furthermore DAB radios can carry text and soon pictures and even video on their displays. Imagine

lyrics being shown on the screen so you can sing along to all your favourite hits like Atmosphere by

Russ Abbot. All together now “Atmosphere, I love a party with...”

As well as music having digital quality, the spoken word comes over as clear as a bell. The huge

variety of radio stations available on your DAB set are identified by the station’s name. You don’t

have to remember any big numbers with a decimal point. The name of the station appears on the

knob twiddling but take it from us, scrolling is the new knob twiddling.
