In the past few years there have been one or two similar devices on the market at a cost much less than the original, but now Aphex Systems Limited have introduced their Type B low-cost version of the original Exciter. A black sealed box with some knobs on was delivered to the studio and there was no way for inquisitive engineers to prise it open and peer at its insides. In those days, it was not possible to buy such a unit but the device had to be rented according to the amount of time it was used on each track.
Most engineers and producers found that the device gave increased presence, clarity, and a greater perception of 'loudness' without increasing level. These factors make the Aphex Aural Exciter a powerful tool in any studio application.In 1975 the Aphex Aural Exciter was unleashed upon an unsuspecting studio, broadcast and film industry. Ity systems, and is not affected by normal acoustic problems. Because of this, the added signal can be so small that it adds virtually no power to the signal, is easily reproduced, even by low qual. The patented method used in the Aural Exciter actually recreates this missing information and adds it back in to produce a psychoacoustic cue signal that is perceived in the subconscious part of the brain. What's left of the original signal, often increasing noise and distortion in the process. Other conventional types of processors, such as equalizers, expanders and reverb or echo fail to restore this realism because they only work on What's missing are the tiny, fragile parts of any sound which give it its character and allow it to be differentiated from other sounds. And you know it's happening because things just don't sound live anymore. Every step of the way, from the original microphone, through countless mixes, amplifiers, processors, tape machines and the final loud-speaker, something gets lost. The answer is that the audio recording and reproduction process is far from perfect. Through succeeding processes and generations of tape copies.īy now you are probably wondering how the Aural Exciter can do all these things and why it has become necessary in the first place. Once it is encoded into the material it stays, even No decoding needed Aural Excitement is a single ended process.Reduced listener fatigue - Increased penetration at lower SPL and distortion levels.Does not trigger limiters or compressors. Greater perceived loudness - without adding any extra power.Placement less critical, while still being totally mono compatible. Enhanced stereo imaging - The sound seems to "open up," giving greater separation and detail making speaker.Increased intelligibility - Vocal articulation is much cleaner.Increased presence and clarity - Program material sounds bright and real again.Whatever the application, you will find the following results It has been used on thousands of albums, movies, broadcast productions, commercials and concerts.Īphex Aural Exciters are also on the air on the top AM & FM stations throughout the U.S.A. Since its introduction in 1975, the Aphex Aural Exciter, has rapidly become a standard in the recording and broadcast
