3 Exciters in Action. BBE Sonic Maximizer 422A * APHEX 104 * SPL SX2

HIghly recommended use of headphones or monitors to appreciate this demonstration:)
Hi i'm kiosko 33, independant artist and producer. Here's a demo of 3 hardware units known for their enhancing characteristics.
Provided by : reverb.com/sho...
SPL SX2 is inserted on the stereo input channels of the mixing console, the signal is then routed out into the APHEX 104 Aural Exciter Type C², followed by the BBE Sonic Maximizer 422A and back into the audio interface.
This chain allows me to apply individual as well as combined processing for the instrument or track i am working on. Settings may vary considerably according to the character of the input signal (Mix, Bass, Vocals, Synth etc..).
Note : The SX2 is not bypassed during this demonstration and is set accordingly to the loop and current project.
Lately i've been using more the Aphex 104, mostly because of the tuning option on the aural exciter. It does add an extra flavor on the selected frequency. Yet and surprisingly, combining the BBE sonic maximizer with the Aphex aural exciter with surgical settings can make wonders.
I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching !

[@ernest5328]

Great demonstration!!

[@LosFicosMusic]

That 442A is nice

[@danevertt3210]

I’ve got the BBE and the Aphex Dominator
Nice video

[@DAVE_WHITE]

I have a BBE 362 it blows the others away

[@kiosko33hz]

Nah, not even close dude. But if you believe it, nothing wrong with that.

[@marcopoulos3493]

The SPL is on top

[@mikesepe2784]

it sound like the alpha 104 has a better bass tone than the bbe. Which do you prefer for music playback (mp3 /vinyl)?

[@dharmaone77]

Which do you prefer for producing disco/boogie? Also - better on the master or individual tracks?

[@fredvaineo3509]

Hi..which do you think is most powerful and useful.. trying to find something to add to my electric guitars tone to make it more defined clear and professional sounding I suppose..sound mixed and mastered I guess haha I've consider the spl vitalizer but one of the bbe maximizers or aural aphex with bass too..looking to find which polishes sounds the most and makes the biggest difference..which unit is most powerful and diverse

[@kiosko33hz]

Hello ! I use it for electronic music but for guitars, definitely the SPL. Cheers.

[@reidhauke3389]

Did the BBE mess with the stereo image somehow? Or just differences in settings on L/R channel?

[@kiosko33hz]

Hello! Different settings if my memory is correct.

[@MusicGearNuts]

is this out of phase or something? Edit: Left channel is waaay louder than the right. Sounds better in mono.

Aphex 104 sirve para vajos das action 118a ??

[@Tammy-z6p]

I would love to be in a band🎉🎉❤

[@stevemoyer1833]

I own both of those rack mount effects for my guitars!!!!

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

Great choice if your amp doesn't have a presence. Considering one for my amp/preamp.

[@rolandvlog560]

nice lods

[@tobss1441]

Lovely.. The SPL VS BEHRINGER EXCITER. Which one do you prefer?

[@kiosko33hz]

Personally, i prefer the SPL products, very good quality and more versátiles.

[@hailesam3567]

SOS .. What’s the signal chain with bbe and aphex ? Nice video btw

[@kiosko33hz]

Signal goes out of Aphex and intro BBE. It is recommended to place the maximizer last in a chain and used subtely. You can crank It more on single elements, i.e. Bass, Drums, Synths, etc.. Hope this helps.

[@hailesam3567]

Thanks bro 🙏🏽very helpful

[@JAHMALCHRIS06]

What is the order when wiring that setup first to last
I have
-EQ
-BBE
-Aphex
for my LOWS

[@darellegabua9034]

use exciter unit to have a sub out option

[@livismartinez9161]

Hola cómo realizaste la conexión de tu aphex 104

[@kiosko33hz]

Hola! Los cables salen del Out del SPL al In del Aphex luego Out del Aphex hacia In del BBE.

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Why no adjustment on SPL?

[@vampyros1]

Could you please post the songs lyrics?

[@realmusic4you]

what power supply are you using for the Aphex 104? do you know of a replacement power supply that works? My original power supply finally gave out after many years of usage,

[@kiosko33hz]

Hi. I've had one made especially by my synth repair guy.

[@realmusic4you]

@@kiosko33hz Thanks for your reply can I hire him to make one for me?

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

Look at the voltage and the amperage. You can google a power supply with the same ratings and it will work

[@cemreozkurt4925]

[@kiosko33hz]

Hi, glad you like It. It is an edit i did.
