  • Publication number: 20150222974
    Abstract: A helmet speaker system includes two small side-firing high fidelity speakers and an electronics package contained in a small water resistant plastic housing. Microphones are located close to one or more of the speakers. The speakers, microphone and electronics package are detachable from their respective helmet base mounts to enable the system to be moved from one helmet to the next. The side-firing speakers are positioned vertically, so that the sound is directed generally downward from the speaker when the speakers are attached to a helmet or hat at a location that is above the ear. The side-firing speakers have a very thin profile when viewed from the rider's front.
