Megaphone

Bullhorn / Loudspeaker Emulation

Megaphone is a plug-in that emulates a bullhorn/loudspeaker effect, which features two loudspeaker emulations, feedback (slapback) control and a noise section. Megaphone can be used to make any audio source sound as if it’s being played by a bullhorn.

Feedback

Feedback

The feedback section is essentially a slapback effect. When using megaphones, the output of the loudspeaker can be captured again by the input microphone, introducing a delay/reflection and the usual feedback tones (those can be triggered with high gain sources and feedback amount higher than 50%).

Noise:

• ​The megaphone noises can be enabled by the Trigger button. There are two types of noise: Button and Burst. You can balance the mix between the two noises with the Source parameter.
• The button noise is the noise made by clicking on the megaphone button to enable its microphone.
• The burst is the typical background noise of the loudspeaker.
• If the envelope is enabled, the Burst noise will follow the transients of the input signal.
