speaker

Description

A speaker is an audio device that claims to carry a faint voice across a hall but functions primarily as a public nuisance amplifier of others’ opinions, advertisements, and unwelcome noise. It boasts its presence in deafening volume while its content is often ignored, a paper tiger of sound. In boardrooms, live venues, and street corners alike, it serves as a tireless, sleep-deprived announcer. It is the relentless herald that proclaims everything to everyone and no one at once.

Definitions

• A public torture instrument that gradually erodes the mental frequencies of conference rooms and concert halls alike.
• An irresponsible volume booster that guarantees only the presence of a voice, not its meaning.
• A disperser of nuisance under the guise of commanding attention.
• An audio magician that rumbles the gut with bass and riles the nerves with treble.
• A personification apparatus that literally ‘propagates’ a microphone’s speech while shirking accountability.
• A legitimized acoustic weapon for harassing public spaces.
• A knight that envelopes creators’ fantasies of ‘good sound’ in the fairy tale of resonance.
• A god to the aficionado of noise, a demon to the seeker of silence.
• An addictive current junkie whose life depends on a mere on-off switch.
