Description
Since its introduction in 1975, the patented Aphex Aural Exciter has been used on thousands of hit albums and
successful musical tours. The Aural Exciter is a patented audio process that recreates missing harmonics without
generating significant changes in the actual signal level.
Reproduced sound is audibly different than the original live sound because of the loss in harmonic detail, often
sounding dull and lifeless. The Aural Exciter adds harmonics, restoring the sounds natural brightness, clarity and
presence, effectively improving detail and intelligibility. Using the Aural Exciter on specific instruments and/or in the
final mix brings life back to the recording.
The Aural Exciter extends the high frequencies, unlike EQ’s and other brightness enhancers which only boost the
high frequencies and alter the overall tonal balance. The stereo image is enhanced with the Aural Exciter, resulting
in a greater perceived loudness without an introduction of noise into the audio path due to increased gain. Vocals
and instruments seem to stand out, without raising individual volumes in the mix.
Big Bottom circuitry dynamically shapes the bass response in the 20Hz to 120Hz range, increasing the perception
of low frequencies without boosting the maximum peak output. The bass frequency response is dynamically optimized to isolate and enhance the lowest bass frequencies to provide a deeper and more resonant bass without
overloading the sound system. Using the patented Big Bottom tightens the bass, allowing low frequencies to be
more articulated and recognizable.
