Bicycle Sound Systems (BSS) are growing in popularity. Anyone who has gone to a festival, seen or participated in a Critical Mass ride or watched the Skyride events will have seen a BSS in operation. The following is a description of what I have learnt over the years in the art of building sound systems Orlando attached to a bicycle.
A typical sound system or home theater system consists of 3 major speaker components: subwoofer or bass speakers, mid-range or woofer speakers, and tweeters to bring out that full rich melody that sounds so wonderful when it reaches your ear. Each component is specifically designed to reproduce sounds within its respective design frequency range. Subwoofers reproduce very low frequencies called bass while woofers are designed to reproduce mid-range frequencies. Tweeters, on the other hand, reproduce high frequencies such as the tinkle of a bell. Typically there is an accompanying or built-in amplifier to provide the necessary power to run all the components. As stated above, all combined provide the listener with the very rich full range sounds comparable to what one hears at a movie theater.
Below, is a compilation of a list of questions that you as nightclub owner need to ask your consultant so that every factor that affects sound in your nightclub, is taken care-of. Answer to these questions will not only make you better understand the dynamics of nightclub system design but will also give you an idea about the competency of the consultant. Send these questions across to three to four consultants and then choose the one who provides the best answers or satisfies you. We have tried our best to avoid technical terms wherever possible. Ask explanation from your consultant concerning some basic technical terms such as Frequency Response, Throw, SPL, Dispersion, Phase Delay, DSP, Frequency Cancellation, Reflection, Amplifier and Absorption.
Hopefully you can see the reason for asking these questions first. Once you know what the BSS is for, there are now a few more questions. What is the budget? Will you want to operate it in the rain? Would you want to use a trailer? Is it to be self-powered? I am going to presume that the BSS is designed to have the music playing whilst being ridden. I have seen 'static' systems but I feel the whole idea of a BSS is that we have mobile music. A top of the range BSS could run into thousands of pounds, especially if everything needed was bought new.
The majority of the flat panel TVs being sold are limited in space allocation for their speakers thus affecting the quality of sound coming from the unit and, furthermore, are challenged by the manufacturer's design efforts to produce a television as thin as possible. The quality emanating from those units often leaves a lot to be desired and purchasing a good system adds significantly to the quality being produced without having to spend a fortune.
How do different speakers interact with each other? Are they strengthening or subduing the music produced? What is phase delay, will he be using the same for best results? How does the number of people inside the venue affect the sound quality and output? Is your system ready to deliver on crowded days? How does the amplifiers interact with the speakers? Is the system capable of running on full capacity for long durations? How your music management system distributes frequencies to tops and subs placed inside your venue? How does the air temperature, pressure and humidity affects sound in your venue?
Again, how loud depends on the use, if it is just yourself and a cyclist next to you, 50 - 100 watts could be enough. In my opinion, 100 watts would be the absolute minimum. If you want many people to hear you and you want a proper bass response, the wattage must increase. I believe 600 watts is somewhere around the maximum, for both volume and weight.
So, in conclusion, if you're not happy with the sounds coming from your new HDTV then please take a look at the many inexpensive home theater systems that are available to the consumer. You will be getting a lot of bang for your bucks and it's a good way to bring family and friends together for a truly pleasurable experience!
