Force Multiplier for Motorcycle Audio?
Hi,
When it comes to audio system design for an open vehicle, especially a motorcycle, there are some very different challenges to address. Obviously, the space that can be dedicated to audio gear is limited in most cases, so we need to get the most out of the space that we have. The need to overcome the rumble of a V-Twin, the loud pipes and the wind noise is no easy task. There is a little box that can make a huge improvement: DSP! While most readers will be familiar with the building blocks consisting of a source unit, an amplifier and speakers, DSP is a term not often used in the two-wheeled world.
DSP, or digital signal processor (sometimes called digital sound processor) options for the motorcycle enthusiast are becoming more readily available. So, the big question is: what can DSP do for me and my bike? Well, here are a few very practical benefits of DSP technology, as it applies to motorcycle audio systems... the equalization features can, in the hands of a skilled tuner, make your system sound a LOT better. While that's a big deal in itself, the next is the true "force multiplier" for your sound... the crossover filter features can be used to maximize the low frequencies while protecting your speakers from damage at high volumes. For those that like to show off their sound system, some DSP units can store multiple profiles, making it possible to sound great on the road and amazing in the parking lot.
The next-level application of DSP on a motorcycle is the addition of one or more dedicated midbass / woofer drivers. For those that are willing to sacrifice a bit of saddlebag or tour pack space in exchange for more low-end power in their audio, substantial gains are possible.
