Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter

Make Your Tracks Sparkle with ‘Air’ and Excitement

In the 70s, the Aphex Aural Exciter had almost mythical status. It ‘excited’ tracks by restoring the highs lost through the recording and playback processes of the time, and was available only as an expensive rental item.

The Aphex Exciter’s secret for adding sheen, brightness and excitement was based on creating controlled 2nd-harmonic distortion. Now, Waves has captured the original unit’s elegant sound quality, enabling you to make tracks brighter without making them more trebly or forcing you to reach for an EQ.

Features

  • Developed in close association with Aphex®
  • Provides brightness without boosting treble or adding hiss
  • Secret weapon for vocals, guitars, (especially acoustic) and more
  • Add spark and sheen to final masters
  • Controlled distortion adds sonic excitement to tracks and masters
  • Compensates for speakers with weak high-frequency response
  • Restores older, duller recordings by giving them new life
  • Two insert modes and send/return mode give three sound qualities
