Bike speakers

In order to add drive, brightness and emotions to the journey, you can embed the speakers on the bike and complement the ride with listening to music.

Types and Features

Despite the fact that all the audio systems offered by the modern market for bicycles have a similar combination of characteristics and work on the same principle, they are nevertheless divided according to the method of signal transmission:

1. Wireless radio frequency speakers are activated by an internal radio transmitter, which operates due to unused frequencies. The advantage of this technology is a combination of simplicity and efficiency - the bicycle speakers transmit the signal at a distance of up to 100 meters from the source. The disadvantages of the system include interference from signals from other devices: extraneous noise, deterioration in sound quality.
2. Wireless Bluetooth speakers are the most common on the market. Connecting to devices is possible only through bluetooth and at a distance of no more than 30 meters. The only drawback of this type is incompatibility with stationary computers, telephones and televisions that do not support bluetooth. But such devices are practically not used in the modern world.
3. Wireless Wi-Fi speakers are the most high-tech and convenient option with the highest quality sound. The signal is transmitted over a Wi-Fi network, that is, anywhere in space, regardless of distance and without any interference. Unfortunately, technology has not yet provided all devices with Wi-Fi transmitters, so this type of speakers cannot yet 100% conquer the market.

Key Features and How to Choose

Before buying a speaker, a cyclist should determine his requirements for a handheld device. We recommend that you pay attention to the following specifications:

1. The casing of the column should be made of durable, reliable material, resistant to shock and water. A good option is a lightweight aluminum case.
2. Well, if the column for the bike is equipped with special fasteners for the steering wheel, but if one is missing, then you need to purchase it separately. An ideal option would be the presence of hardened steel attachment axes, the attachment body itself from steel and a rubber shock absorber.
3. Speaker functionality is subject to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or AUX connectivity. The buyer chooses these characteristics in accordance with his desires. But the standard connector for a flash card and for a charger should be required.
4. Sound quality and radius width determines the presence of frequency band bands. Single band marking means that the column supports one frequency in mono mode. Accordingly, two stripes - two frequencies, and three stripes mean maintaining all frequencies.
5. The appearance of the acoustic device is an important factor. Stylish design is a nice addition to good features.
6. Let's move on to questions about price and size, which are directly proportional to each other. Without a doubt, everyone dreams of a compact device, but it is not yet possible to design a small speaker that can transmit low frequencies to an impressive distance.

Range format and frequency

Since sound quality is the main criterion when purchasing a speaker, it is worthwhile to analyze in more detail what it depends on.

The format of the column is responsible for the saturation of the sound. Portable bike speakers are divided into three formats:

• 1: 0 - mono-mode format, assumes sound from one channel, even if there are more than one speaker. This format corresponds to low power and unexpressed sound;
• 2: 0 - this format supports stereo mode. The mode includes surround sound and the corresponding rich sound;
• 3: 0 - considered the most favorable sound format.The stereo system is equipped with a subwoofer that emphasizes the sound at low and high frequencies.

Installation

The assembly and installation of bluetooth speakers on the bike with a built-in mount or with an acquired specialized mount does not cause difficulties and is completed in 5 minutes with a wrench. Another thing is the installation of the column using improvised tools.

How to put acoustics on a bicycle with your own hands

The easiest home-made way is to install bicycle speakers with a wired system.

To do this, you will need:

• small speakers that support USB - sound quality is achieved using 2 pieces;
• set of batteries;
• mp3 player;
• USB - connectors - 3 pcs.;
• Plastic clamps - 2 pcs.;
• glue "Moment".

Any small computer speakers will do. They are installed on both sides of the steering wheel. Plastic clamps are used as fasteners. In stores, they can not always be purchased separately, but ordering on the Internet is also a good way out. Also, the clamps left over from the old call may be in the household. In the department of radio components, we purchase a unit of a 4-battery system at 5V. Here we take the USB - connectors.

Next, we proceed to the assembly of the structure:

1. We fix the columns with clamps using glue and place the clips on the steering wheel. Be sure to check the strength of the mount.
2. USB connectors are attached to the battery. A pair of intended speakers and one player.
3. Wires extend from the speakers to the battery pack and connect via USB.
4. The wire should connect the battery and mp3 player.

It remains only to start the player and check the system for performance. If desired, you can build a power button on the gap between the speakers and batteries.
