Aphex

Aphex Systems was founded in 1975 in Massachusetts, USA. Aphex Systems (now known simply as Aphex) developed their Aural Exciter products at a time when analogue tape was the norm. Due to multiple bounces, the top end could end up a little lack luster, and by using an Aural Exciter you could artificially enhance the top end or ‘excite’ the top end as it were. They enjoyed huge success renting their units by the minute, right up to the point of digital audio recording became the norm.
