Universal power supply, balanced XLR & 1/4" I/O
Legendary Professional Two Channel Audio Enchancement - 35 Years
and Counting.
Since its introduction in 1975, close to a million Aphex Aural
Exciters have found their way into recording studios and broadcast
facilities, nightclubs and concert halls, arenas and airports,
musicians’ and DJs’ rigs and houses of worship.
The Aural Exciter’s patented technology has been often
imitated but never duplicated.
Each of the Aural Exciter’s two independent channels
feature Tune, Harmonics and Mix controls, enabling you to focus on
select frequencies just like an EQ. But unlike an EQ, the Aural
Exciter’s harmonic processing doesn’t boost the
signal’s output level, maintaining a clear and balanced
sound.
Traditional EQ increases the output level of the targeted
frequencies. Adding EQ to boost selected frequencies typically
results in a perceived loss of other frequencies, which are then
also boosted to compensate. The Aural Exciter’s patented
technology harmonically brings out the desired frequencies without
adding gain. The result is audio that’s more balanced,
more articulate and, simply put, better sounding.
Over three decades of research, development and refinement have
kept the Aural Exciter at the cutting edge. The new Aural Exciter
and Optical Big Bottom features the same no-compromise audio
quality Aphex is known for, with the highest quality componentry
and rugged, durable construction to withstand the rigors of travel
and constant use.
Aural Exciter
For more than 35 years, the Aural Exciter’s patented
technology has been the audio professional’s secret
weapon, a powerful way to improve and enhance sonic quality more
naturally than with equalization.
For individual sounds or entire mixes, the Aural Exciter brings
out detail, clarity and imaging that elevates your sound without
adding level. For vocals and spoken dialog, it can dramatically
increase intelligibility. For individual instruments, it adds
punch and presence. And on mixes, it adds power, presence and
sparkle. The Aural Exciter is the ideal solution for breathing
life into MP3s and other compressed audio files.
Optical Big Bottom
The Optical Big Bottom adds a deep, powerful low-frequency punch,
without the unwanted level boost that comes from adding
traditional EQ. Deeper, more resonant bass response with tighter
articulation helps to extend low frequency power and spectrum
without the build-up or driver-damaging tendencies of bass EQ.
Applications:
Recording, Mixdown and Post Production
The Aural Exciter was born in the recording studio, and its
legacy is founded on thousands of legendary recordings bearing the
unmistakable Aphex sound. Engineers and producers have used the
Aural Exciter to bring out vocals and on instruments from acoustic
and electric to eclectic and exotic. It’s at the heart of
great sounding mixes in rock, pop, jazz, classical and every other
genre of modern music. And you’ll find the Aural Exciter
in TV and film post production suites the world over.
Broadcasting / Webcasting
The Aural Exciter brings clarity and intelligibility to spoken
word and narration. For terrestrial and satellite broadcasters,
the Aural Exciter provides the powerful articulation necessary to

broadcasting challenges. For live and recorded Web streaming, the
Aural Exciter adds the definition and dimension that’s so
often lost in the compression of today’s Internet audio.
Live Sound
At Front of House, the Aural Exciter can help to bring out an
individual player or add dimension to the entire mix, delivering
an important tool for the challenges of changing venues and
acoustics. Monitor engineers also depend on the Aural Exciter to
improve clarity and articulation to monitor and in-ear mixes on
stage without increasing volumes to dangerous levels.
Installed Sound
Ideal for adding intelligibility and clarity to challenging
spaces and loudspeaker placement, the Aural Exciter can deliver
audio clarity under the most demanding conditions.
DJ
In the eternal quest for more volume and more bass, the Aural
Exciter delivers, while also addressing the need for brightness
and definition without the use of speaker-damaging EQ. The Aural
