Bad Speaker delivers an instant lo-fi atmosphere that adds distinctive character to your music productions. It provides three unique speaker modes—Portable Radio, Cassette Deck, and Hi-Fi Speaker—each offering a different sonic flavor that ranges from gritty and degraded to clean and polished. Whether you're looking to evoke nostalgic textures or experiment with sound design, this plugin offers an accessible way to infuse your tracks with creative distortion and tonal variety.

The Portable Radio mode emulates the harsh, compressed sound of low-quality speakers, perfect for creating a broken, worn-out vibe. Cassette Deck captures the essence of '80s boomboxes, delivering tight bass and a distinctive midrange bite that adds punch and character. Hi-Fi Speaker provides a clearer, more refined sound that works well as a foundation for further sonic exploration. These modes allow you to easily shift between lo-fi grittiness and cleaner sounds to match your artistic vision.

Bad Speaker is designed for intuitive use, featuring simple controls that keep the creative process flowing. The Drive control lets you dial in the amount of distortion, from subtle warmth to full-on grit, while the Width slider adjusts the stereo image to make your mix feel wider or more focused. The Tone control balances between treble brightness and bass depth, giving you quick access to essential tonal shaping. This streamlined approach makes Bad Speaker an ideal tool for adding unique texture and energy to your tracks.
