A bad GSM connection on a busy sidewalk, a bullhorn with feedback and a helicopter overhead, or a 1952 rockabilly guitar amp in a recording studio live room:
The Speakerphone audio plug-in gives you authentic speakers of any size together with their natural environments.

All the walkie-talkies, distant transistor radios, upstairs TV sets, bullhorns, cell phones and guitar cabinets you will ever need. Speakerphone (a plug-in for MacOS and Windows) will add dial tones, operator, static, and you can select from a wealth of ambiences on either the caller or receiver's end.

400 speaker impulse responses, 23 microphones, 106 'Covers' (from blankets to car trunks), 53 Altiverb rooms and outdoor spaces, 5 gigabyte of ambiences and sound FX, and 12 DSP modules from Leslie to GSM compression, conveniently presented to you in well over 500 presets.

NEW IN SPEAKERPHONE 3

• Improved automation reliability
• reducing conflicting situations between presets, automated presets and automation curves.
• reduction of not found IRs (Speaker, Mic, Cover & Room), inherited from Speakerphone 1 preset/settings, that could resolve to default IRs.
• removal of the auto level function alltogether, this is replaced by a suggested level area in the input meter.
• samplebay on/off is now available for automation.

Native Apple silicon
M1 / M2 / M3 & Intel macs are fully supported.

New interface
The user interface has been refined and made scalable to ensure Speakerphone with all its controls remains visible and controllable for most.

Smooth and clickless
Speaker, Mic, Cover and Room IR switches are all practically seemless without any clicks, also with automation.

New outdoor & car IRs
A street with high office buildings, an outdoor stadium, a village square, a Tesla, a camper van and various tubes are added as impulse repsonse option in the convolution reverb module (the Room module).

New input level meter
The auto level option from Speakerphone 2 has been removed. To ensure the incoming audio is in good balance with the sound generating modules from Speakerphone the input level meter shows a green area for the best input level. You can simply adjust the input level to ensure the presets sound as intended.

New Speaker IRs
Many new speaker impulse responses have been added to Speakerphone 3. Tiny speakers like the pocket operator mini synth and a digital toy camera and large ones like the QSC KW153 PA Speaker. New phones, computers and portable bluetooth speakers have been added too.

Computer activation
The Speakerphone license can be activated on a computer or on a USB iLok key. The iLok USB key is NO LONGER required.

VST3 Plug-In
To ensure compatibility with worldclass VST host applications (DAWs) like Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo and Digital Performer Speakerphone 3 features a VST3 plug-in.

What did not change in Speakerphone 3

• Backward compatible. Speakerphone 3 replaces Speakerphone 2. When you open a session/song/project made with Speakerphone 2 (or 1), Speakerphone 3 will open in its place, with the same settings, reading all automation and producing the exact same sound.
• However, sessions/projects/songs saved with Speakerphone 3 will likely not open perfect on Speakerphone 2 workstations.
• Apart from choosing from the hundreds of presets from the preset browser you can shape and mangle your sound extensively combining the many DSP modules in Speakerphone 3.
• The 4 GB environment FX sample library you get with Speakerphone remains royalty free to use in any production.
• With a Speakerphone 3 license you get fixes and support without yearly fees.
• You have the option to sell your license.
