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.
There is nothing worth the experience of a good music. Duke Ellington once said, "There are two types of music, good and bad. If you like it, it's good music." However, there are some factors that determine the validity and suitability of the system. The first consideration before building a bicycle sound system is to ask yourself exactly what is it for? Now this may sound like a stupid question but consider:
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.
How the music interacts with the enclosed space of your venue? Which material inside the venue is acoustically opaque or transparent and how does it affect the low, mid and high frequencies? Is your venue suppressing some frequencies? How will the acoustic material used inside the venue age with time and how it will affect music?
The volume of the system is probably the key to everything. The amount of power needed outside is far, far more than is needed inside; most of the sound from speakers inside a building is actually reflected sound. Take the walls away and the volume drops massively.
An individual has the less common option to purchase the system speaker units as separate components or as is more commonly done... A complete package. For those not versed in home theater technology the package deal is convenient and installation/setup is simple. The price ranges in quality and with each manufacturer.
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.
Critically the amplifier must not be overdriven. This usually happens when the output of the amplifier is not enough for the situation. Everything is turned to max to compensate and there is distortion. We have all heard it, in cars, clueless DJ's, PA systems... The crazy thing is that turning it down just a bit will reduce the volume very slightly but everything can now be heard properly without distortion.
