Used Enhancers and Exciters

Enhancers and Exciters are a kind of effects processing unit which is used to apply a technique known as audio signal processing in order to enhance audio signals. It does this through a range of processes, including phase manipulation, dynamic equalization, subtle distortion and also through harmonic synthesis of audio signals. In addition, Enhancers and Exciters can also be employed to simulate a deep-sounding base effect in small speakers, which is done by synthesizing the harmonics of low frequency audio signals.

One of the first Enhancers and Exciters was the Aural Audio Exciter, which adds synthesized harmonics and phase shift to enhance an audio signal??s intelligibility and clarity. Nowadays though, Enhancers and Exciters are usually found in sound enhancement processors and editing software. A modern audio exciter is able to perform a vast range of sound enhancements and can emulate analogue enhancers, and can be applied for numerous different uses.

One of the main uses of Enhancers and Exciters is to enhance dull-sounding recordings, especially in the case of older tape recordings which have suffered from repeated overdubs. Enhancers and Exciters are also used in conjunction with software and hardware media players to add audio enhancement, and they are also suitable for vinyl DJs who need to ??brighten up? older records or add different sound qualities to them.

Finally, Audio Enhancers and Exciters can be used with electronic musical instruments such as the bass guitar or electronic keyboards. For this purpose, they are sold in something called a ??stompbox? pedal format.
