Entity Description

Broadcasts sound from a location for either playback or monitoring.

Keyvalues

<target_destination> If the speaker is in Measuring mode, this is the name of the entity where the sound level is to be measured.
  • SpeakerName
<target_destination> The name of a speaker entity through which to play any sounds heard by this microphone. If specified, the microphone will consider itself in Speaker mode. Cannot be an env_speaker!
  • ListenFilter
<filterclass> The name of an filter entity which specifies the only entities the microphone can hear. Sounds emitted by other entities will not be heard.
  • speaker_dsp_preset
