La soci\u00E9t\u00E9 a \u00E9t\u00E9 fond\u00E9e en 1975, dans le Massachusetts par Marvin Caesar et Curt Knoppel, inventeur de l'Aural Exciter\u2122. Les premi\u00E8res versions de l'Aural Exciter\u2122 \u00E9taient disponible seulement \u00E0 la location sur une base de 30 dollars par minute d'enregistrement achev\u00E9. L'unit\u00E9 devint si populaire, particuli\u00E8rement dans les milieux des studios d'enregistrement de Los Angeles, qu'Aphex d\u00E9m\u00E9nagea pour Hollywood. Dans les ann\u00E9es 1970, un certain nombre d'artistes, dont Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt ou James Taylor, notaient sur leurs pochettes: \"album enregistr\u00E9 en utilisant l'Aural Exciter\u2122 \". D'autres utilisateurs notables furent Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Alan Parsons ou Warren Zevon. Reconnaissant qu'un march\u00E9 bien meilleur que la location existait, Aphex d\u00E9marra la vente de produits professionnels et lan\u00E7a deux mod\u00E8les \u00E0 bas prix : le Type B et le Type C. L'Aural Exciter\u2122 est aujourd'hui fabriqu\u00E9 sous licence par un nombre croissants d'entreprises, dont Yamaha, MacKenzie, Gentner, Emu et Bogen. L'Aural Exciter\u2122 d'origine, pr\u00E9sent\u00E9 en 1975, ne comprenait pas le circuit Big Bottom\u2122, qui fut ajout\u00E9 en 1992. Des r\u00E9visions ult\u00E9rieures de l'Aural Exciter\u2122 d\u00E9bouch\u00E8rent sur les mod\u00E8les 104 Type C et les unit\u00E9s Type C2. Aphex a aujourd'hui lanc\u00E9 l'Aural Exciter\u2122 Mod\u00E8le 204 et le Big Bottom Optique, nouvelles am\u00E9liorations de la version de base. L'Aural Exciter\u2122 est r\u00E9put\u00E9 am\u00E9liorer la clart\u00E9 et l'intelligibilit\u00E9 par l'addition d'une variation de phase et des harmoniques li\u00E9s aux signaux audio. Le circuit Big Bottom\u2122 combine un filtre basses-fr\u00E9quences (low-pass filter) et un processeur de dynamiques pour compresser et retarder les informations de basses fr\u00E9quences entrantes. Le traitement est d\u00E9pendant de l'amplitude invers\u00E9e, ce qui signifie que plus l'on applique des changements d'\u00E9tat, moins le signal devient complexe. Combin\u00E9s, le processeur de dynamiques et l'effet delay cr\u00E9ent des basses fr\u00E9quences soutenues per\u00E7ues comme plus fortes bien que n'amplifiant pas le niveau de sortie. Selon Aphex, les r\u00E9visions du Mod\u00E8le 204 et deBig Bottom\u2122 de l'Aural Exciter\u2122 am\u00E9liorent ses circuits, incluant un contr\u00F4le du volume optique pour le compresseur du Big Bottom\u2122. Aphex cr\u00E9e des produits pour les professionnels du son, de la diffusion, les studios, les musiciens en d\u00E9placement ou encore les studios domestiques. Aphex a d\u00E9velopp\u00E9 un certain nombre d'outils, comme le Compellor\u00AE, le Dominator\u00AE, l'Expander/Gate\u2122 ou l'Expressor,\u2122 ... Chaque produit contient un ou plusieurs de leurs 30 inventions brevet\u00E9es. Un \u00E9l\u00E9ment-clef, par exemple, de leurs produits de traitements des dynamiques est le Voltage Controlled Attenuator, ou Aphex\u2122 VCA 1001. Un autre est le circuit E/S Aphex, bas\u00E9 sur un circuit \u00E9lectronique plut\u00F4t que des transformateurs. Les locaux d'Aphex\u2122 sont situ\u00E9s dans la Sun Valley, en Californie. Tous les produits sont aujourd'hui con\u00E7us et fabriqu\u00E9s dans ces lieux. Les produits d'Aphex\u2122 et ses concurrents sont connus sous le nom g\u00E9n\u00E9rique de \"processeur psychoacoustique\". Des produits largement comparables sont disponibles chez BBE, Joemeek, SPL ou Behringer, parmi d'autres. La plupart sont des processeurs analogiques, mais certains processeurs num\u00E9riques commencent \u00E0 appara\u00EEtre. Le Sonic Maximiser\u2122 de BBE utilise un traitement similaire \u00E0 celui d'Aphex\u2122 de variation de phase bas\u00E9 sur la fr\u00E9quence."@fr , "Aphex is a brand of audio signal processing equipment. Aphex Systems was founded in 1975 in Massachusetts by Marvin Caesar and Curt Knoppel, the inventor of the Aural Exciter. The first Aural Exciter units were available exclusively on the rental basis of $30 per minute of finished recorded time. The unit became so popular, especially with the Los Angeles music and recording studio crowd, that Aphex had to move to Hollywood. In the 1970s, certain recording artists, including Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor stated in their liner notes \"This album was recorded using the Aphex Aural Exciter. \" Other users included Donna Summer, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Olivia Newton-John, Alan Parsons, and Warren Zevon. Recognizing that there was a much bigger market than just the rental business, Aphex started selling the professional units, and introduced two low-cost models: Type B and Type C. The Aural Exciter circuit is now licensed by a growing list of manufacturers, including Yamaha, MacKenzie, Gentner, Emu and Bogen. The original Aphex Aural Exciter, first offered in 1975, came without the Big Bottom circuit, which was added in 1992. Later revisions of the Aphex Aural Exciter included the Model 104 Type C and Type C2 units. Aphex has now released the Model 204 Aural Exciter and Optical Big Bottom, yet another refinement of the original unit. The Aural Exciter is said to enhance clarity and intelligibility by adding phase shift and musically related synthesized harmonics to audio signals. The Big Bottom circuit combines a low-pass filter and dynamics processor to compress and delay incoming low-frequency information. The process is reverse amplitude dependent, meaning that more is applied as the input level drops and less as the signal gets hotter. Together the dynamics processor and time delay create sustained bass frequencies that are perceived as being louder yet don't noticeably increase peak output. According to Aphex, the Model 204 updates the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom processor blocks with improved circuitry, including an optical gain-control element for the Big Bottom compressor. Aphex builds products for the professional audio, broadcast, fixed installation, touring-sound and home-recording markets. Aphex has developed a number of devices, such as the Compellor, Dominator, Expander/Gate and Expressor, plus the Model 1100 Two-Channel and Model 1788 Eight-Channel Ultra-Precision Remotely Controllable Microphone Pre-Amplifiers, and the Model 2020 Mk III Broadcast Audio Processor. Each product contains one or more of their over 30 proprietary inventions (patented or patents pending). A key element of all the dynamics processing products is the Voltage Controlled Attenuator, the Aphex VCA 1001. Another key element is Aphex' input and output circuitry, using electronic balancing techniques instead of transformers. In the late 2000s, Aphex entered a new area of professional audio products, digital signal transport, with the introduction of their Anaconda 64-Channel Bidirectional Digital Snake. The Anaconda system was quickly adopted by many live sound productions as well as permanent installations in broadcasters and audio systems installations. Aphex offices, engineering laboratories, production and warehousing are located in a 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m) facility in Sun Valley, California. All products are now designed and manufactured in this facility. Functionally similar units from competing manufacturers are generically known either as 'psychoacoustic processors' or more commonly just as 'enhancers'. Broadly comparable products are now available from BBE, Joemeek, SPL, and Behringer to name but a few; most are analogue signal processors, although a few digital units are now beginning to appear. The BBE Sonic Maximiser utilizes a similar process of frequency-dependent phase shifting, as do other brands to varying extent."@en ; rdfs:comment "Aphex Systems est une marque d'\u00E9quipement de traitement de signaux audio.
