Acoustics Speakers

Car audio has come a long way from the old standard AM / FM Radio / Tape Deck combo. Systems today, multimedia systems on board include DVD video, television and news browsing local access point. Common to all systems is the sound quality.

The sound quality in an audio system depends a number of factors - the type and quality of the media player system, the type of speakers used, the acoustics of the vehicle and interference from other devices.

System type and quality of Windows Media Player

Before we look at the different types of vehicles in the players the media worthwhile to have a basic understanding of audio quality. When deciding what type of audio system to install, and also when comparing one make and model to another, There are two key features to consider:

Signal-to-noise ratio [SNR] - a measure of signal strength compared to the background noise in the signal or equipment. Measured in decibels. The higher the dB, the better. A car CD player has an SNR of 90 or 100 dB.

Frequency response [FR] - a measurement of the amount of audio spectrum, from bass to treble, gets reproduced. It is measured as a range of Hertz, and the rest of the range, the better. Look for a CD player with a series of at least 10-20k Hz

An FM radio, cassette player, CD player and all have different measures to these specifications. To help understand these two specifications, let's compare a player's car cassette tapes and a car CD player.

Cassette player has an SNR of 50-70 dB. This is much lower than a CD player, so the sound quality degrades at each end of the spectrum. The FR is around 30-18k Hz for a cassette player, so it does not contribute much to the sound quality as the SNR.

That's why in general a car CD player gives a sound much better than a cassette recorder.

Media players in vehicles today are radio tuner, CD player or digital audio player.

CD Players and Changers

There are a number of options when it comes to playing CD's in a vehicle:

  • A CD player on the board - often combined with radio tuner, WMA/MP3 Player
  • An in-dash CD Receiver - With a multiple CD cassette / changer other vehicle parts
  • Connecting a portable CD player to an existing in-dash and the audio unit using a cable and adapter or a wireless Bluetooth ®.

When choosing a car CD player the first two things to consider are:

  1. Is physically fit into the vehicle?
  2. Will it integrate cosmetically with the script and other electronics?

Most decks have standardized form factors, so they fit most cars, but there are exceptions, so be sure to suit the deck for your car. You are usually pretty safe is the car stereo is made for the same market as the source of your car:

The aesthetic integration is a bit more complex, but in many cases easily resolved through features customization. For example, many decks allow you to change the front and the screen color.

Digital Audio Car Systems

With most audio systems for home and portable sound quality to digital audio using sharp, and we are not satisfied with the sound flat, smooth analog systems older car audio.

If you normally store your digital music files on CD, stereo or changer compatible is a good option. Up to 10 hours of music [250 songs] can be stored on a single disc and allows use of random shuffling and repeat options. This disadvantage is ease of use, having to load and unload from cassettes located in the trunk or under seats, and limited file formats that your stereo can be played.

So now you have the media player selected, what happens to the speaker system.

Car Speaker System

The speaker system can be thought of in two parts: the amplifier and speakers physics.

Power amplifiers car speakers in your system car stereo to provide clear sound quality at high volumes. Each speaker requires one channel of amplification. This means that an amplifier 4 channels, will support four speakers.

And the choice of speakers is not limited either. With a range of options for your basic stereo speakers [2-channel], can complement the high quality note with a tweeter and low bass with a sub-woofer. This gives a standard 4-channel sound system that will rival your system home audio.

Add to a basic car stereo option typically involves adding subwoofers, amplifiers and crosses to adjust the sound output to personal tastes.

This does not mean that the result is the rude, the rise of boxing under unpleasant that pervades the entire neighborhood. A subwoofer adds quality and purity of music.

For detailed specifications for each part of your system, see Go-Reviews.com - Car Electronics Section

The main factors in selecting car speakers are:

  • Design or Speaker Type
  • Technical Specifications
  • Fitting and assembly

Speaker design is the combination of sound drivers for midrange, subwoofer and tweeter. Depending on the combination, the set is called a two-way, three-way or four-speaker system.

Specifications are car speakers Similar to the home audio speaker, the main difference in technical specification to compensate for lower power outputs of car radios.

He includes technical specifications, the response sensitivity of the frequency, signal to noise ratio, power handling and impedance. We will account these specifications in more detail in later articles.

The bodies and assemblies are selected depending on where you choose to position the speakers. The audio car speakers are: higher or lower on horseback. Clearance depth is most important when installing new speakers in a location no speaker from the factory. So check all components carefully before purchase.

With such a wide range of combinations available on the Internet constitutes a valuable resource in car reviews of electronics. Sites like Go-Reviews.com seek comments and consolidate the recommendations for a quick reference buying guide.
