sound

A legacy
of audio presence

Inspired by the legendary Type C2-104 Aphex Aural Exciter, the Bus EXCITER-104 is part of a lineage of sought-after outboard gear.

Since its inception in 1975, the Aphex Aural Exciter has been a game-changer in restoring and enhancing sound. Engineered to address the harmonic loss found in tape recording methods, the Aural Exciter could be relied on for adding detail and presence to instruments, vocals and bass while crucially maintaining the signal volume.
