Summary: |
Aphex Systems, Sun Valley, CA, 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/recording studio crowd, that Aphex had to move to Hollywood. 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. |
