Waves 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.
