Portable Mono Speaker Check

“Reality check” for balances and translation

Many producers and mix engineers use a popular Bluetooth speaker as a “reality check” for balances and translation. This plugin gives you that same perspective instantly, without pairing a real speaker or leaving your studio setup. Drop it on your mix bus (or any track), toggle it on, and hear how your mix holds up through a virtual Bluetooth speaker in seconds, right in your headphones or monitors. Compare against reference tracks, spot balance issues fast, and make decisions with confidence, all without extra hardware or routing headaches. This plugin focuses on modeling the core frequency response of a popular Bluetooth speaker, along with the typical built-in limiting/compression you hear in small portable systems. We intentionally do not model room acoustics, because in our view it gets in the way: on studio monitors it clashes with your real room, adds unnecessary coloration, and doesn’t provide any meaningful advantage for balance and translation checks.
