The Speaker is a household loudspeaker box. In play it is a supply of electronic parts for improvised devices.
It matters to survivors who build traps and noisemakers. The in-game tooltip says it is used in improvised defensive devices. Those devices need a known recipe or the Engineer occupation. The speaker is broken down with a screwdriver to get at its parts. Its cost is weight, since it is bulky for what it gives.
The speaker is found in closets, pawn shops, sheds, bedrooms and garages.
Using
The speaker is taken apart with the Dismantle Electronic Item recipe. A screwdriver is needed and kept. Dismantling gives one Scrap Electronics and one more part. That second part is an Amplifier, a Motion Sensor, a Receiver or more Scrap Electronics.
Amplifiers, Motion Sensors and Receivers all feed electronics crafts. Scrap Electronics is a common material in many electrical recipes.
The speaker also holds a fair amount of metal inside its case.
