For years, professional audio engineers and producers have relied on Aphex's Aural Exciter to brighten up sound dulled by lo-fi equipment or a difficult A/D transfer. Now, with the Exciter, Aphex has brought back the Aural Exciter in an enhanced, two-channel version - and thrown in the Optical Big Bottom for extra measure! The Exciter dramatically enhances the presence and clarity of your audio signals. On the high end, the Aural Exciter restores natural brightness and improves sonic detail. The Big Bottom performs a similar function on the low end, providing deeper, more resonant bass with little or no increase in peak output.

The Aural Exciter is more than just another "audio enhancer;" it actually extends your high frequencies for a greater perceived loudness without an introduction of noise into the audio path due to increased gain. Vocals and instruments leap out without raising individual volumes in the mix.

The same can be said for the Optical Big Bottom capabilities of the Exciter, except on the opposite end of the sonic spectrum. Big Bottom tightens and boosts the bass, allowing individual notes to be more articulated and recognizable, providing a deeper, more resonant bass without overloading the sound system.

With the Exciter in your setup, your audio will be fuller, bigger, and generally sound louder, but with little or no increase in peak volume. This is a versatile tool for a huge range of applications, from recording to broadcast to performance.
