In this example, Vinyl is being used to make a song sound as if it is being played from an old radio. The Year parameter band-limits the signal, making it sound as if it is being played back on small radio speakers. By adjusting the Year parameter to a higher setting, you can increase the perceived size of the playback setting. Meanwhile, the Mechanical Noise, Wear, Dust, and Scratch parameters all add dirt and simulate radio interference. 

This effect can be very useful in post production when mixing a scene at a location such as a bar, or when one character is on the other end of a phone call. In both of these situations, switching Vinyl into mono may further help since both of these playback systems are either mono or have a very narrow sound stage.
