DEVA DB3012 – Advanced DAB/DAB+ & Internet Radio Monitoring Receiver

DEVA DB3012 is an advanced DAB/DAB+ and internet radio monitoring receiver for broadcast confidence monitoring. It combines a digital radio tuner, IP audio reception and a built-in three-way speaker system in one rackmount unit. Simultaneous monitoring of a DAB service and an online stream helps engineers assess broadcast availability, audio levels and reception quality from a central monitoring position.

DAB/DAB+ Reception and Signal Analysis

The DEVA DB3012 receiver covers 168–240 MHz, including Band III channels 5A–13F, and complies with ETSI EN 300 401. Automatic channel scanning and manual tuning support service selection, while four presets provide quick access to frequently monitored services. Measurements include RSSI, SNR, CNR and FIC quality. Program Associated Data support includes Dynamic Label Segment text and Multimedia Object Transfer content.

Internet Radio and Local Audio Monitoring

SHOUTcast and Icecast compatibility allows the unit to receive internet radio streams and display available station, programme and stream metadata. Its integrated speaker system combines stereo mid/high-frequency drivers with a mono low-frequency driver, powered by a DSP-controlled class-D amplifier. Front-panel headphone monitoring, balanced analogue XLR outputs and an AES/EBU digital output provide additional listening and connection options.

Remote Access, Logging and Alarms

DEVA DB3012 supports browser-based configuration and monitoring through its Ethernet connection. An OLED display and LED bar graphs provide local visibility of signal and audio levels. The receiver logs DAB signal quality and left/right audio levels for later analysis, with collected data available through FTP. Configurable thresholds and stream-loss notifications support maintenance workflows, with alarms dispatched by email, SNMP v2c and rear-panel GPO connections. SNTP synchronisation keeps the internal clock aligned for monitoring records.
