I may not be defining this right, but I am looking for something that when I mix my audio I want to hear it on my reference monitors of course, and also a cell phone speaker since the planet listens to music on this rather tiny speaker.  Does anyone have a plugin that simulates different type of speakers?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Dave


ARC plus the mic is expensive here anyway.
 
There are free Trials of an assortment,Waves NX,Tone Boosters "Isone" etc,just look for Plugins-Speaker emulation-I personally don't really like most of them ,but I haven't tried to do what you need,which is interesting as I went to a friends yesterday and MADE HIM lol  listen to *my version* of a very basic 1 take "Nutshell" a Song by by A.I.C.on his laptop,bluetooth wasn't happening so laptop speakers only.

Arc 2 is awesome but it doesn't simulate various speakers and environments. It provides correction to your monitors in your environment. Sonarworks is something to look into if Arc 2 interests you. The Focusrite VRM box is also awesome in my opinion but it's an interface designed to simulate several different speakers in different environments and is for headphone use. I have never used Mix Checker, it looks interesting, fits what you're description and is currently on sale.

Actually it does
 



You also have to calibrate your environment. Monitor type is not relevant. The calibration creates a file using sound  and not brand names. :)

I stand corrected.This makes Arc 2 a no brainer!

I just got Mixchecker by Audified today, as it was on sale for $99.  It'll take a while to run it through its paces, but so far, I like the results.  It has several devices that's not in ARC 2, so when combined with ARC 2 and the VRM box, I have quite a list of virtual playback devices to complement my 3 sets of studio monitors.  It should be able to cover the OP's need.

Please let us know what you think, after you have tried them for a while.

I've been using the Focusrite VRM unit for headphone simulation of different speakers and rooms
It's from 2011, you can pick up on Amazon/Ebay for about $50. Simple, and it seems to work.

OK, I ran MixChecker through its paces today, and here are my observations.  I have an old pair of Auratones (ca. 1979) and the simulation in MC is spot on, much like the one in my VRM box.  The tablet, smartphone, and ear buds are realistic compared to my own items.  All the other  simulations are good, and, at least equivalent to the ones in ARC 2.  It has a MONO button which comes in very handy, as well as volume compensation.  At this point, I'm glad I picked it up.  Hopefully, it will still be on sale through tomorrow.
