SPKR-v1 is a 32-bit Windows-only distortion plugin designed to replicate the sound of blown speakers, malfunctioning stereos, and unusual acoustic environments. It processes audio by splitting the input through parallel bandpass filters and custom waveshapers, allowing users to shape the tone with adjustable settings such as DC offset and gain. Its unique design adds character by simulating the irregular frequency responses and tonal quirks of damaged or altered speaker systems.

The plugin’s signal path includes multiple bandpass filters before and after the waveshaping stage, creating complex tonal textures. A stereo delay effect enhances the sense of space by introducing slight timing differences between the left and right channels, with independent volume controls for each filter. This approach mimics the effect of circuit-bent amplifiers and poorly assembled tone circuitry, enabling everything from subtle saturation and filtering to extreme sound mangling.

SPKR-v1 comes with several built-in presets to quickly explore its range of sonic possibilities. Created using Synthedit, it offers a distinctive audio effect that can add grit and personality to any project. Although it runs only on 32-bit Windows systems, it can be operated in virtual environments on other platforms. This plugin is ideal for producers and sound designers seeking to infuse their tracks with the raw, unpredictable character of damaged speaker emulations.
