Description :
Portable Mono Speaker Check recreates the workflow used by thousands of sound engineers and producers: checking the overall balance
and translation of audio on a small, portable mono speaker. Enable this feature, compare your mix to reference tracks,
and balance issues become apparent in seconds, without having to connect a real speaker or pair it with a device.
“Reality Check” for Balance and Transmission
Many producers and sound engineers use popular Bluetooth speakers as a “reality check” for balance and translation of audio. This plugin allows you to instantly achieve the same result without connecting a real speaker or leaving your studio.
Add it to a mixer channel (or any other track), turn it on, and in seconds, hear how your mix sounds through a virtual Bluetooth speaker,
directly in your headphones or monitors. Compare with reference tracks, quickly identify balance issues, and make informed decisions
—all without the need for additional equipment or the headache of routing.
This plugin models the fundamental frequency response of a popular Bluetooth speaker, as well as typical built-in limiting and compression functions
used in small portable systems. We intentionally avoid modeling room acoustics because, in our opinion, it only hinders the process:
on studio monitors, it clashes with the acoustics of a real room, adds unnecessary coloration to the sound,
and provides no significant benefit when checking balance and mixing.
