Tube Exciter in a Brilliant Plug-in

Get to know them!

Waves packs a tube-powered Exciter into an absolutely amazing plug-in! The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plug-in is modeled on a very rare tube-fired Aural Exciter hardware unit - the same kind sought after in the '70s to turn great tracks into classic hits. This Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plug-in gives you the same sparkling performance, vibe, and even looks as the classic hardware version (you'll love the user interface, which comes complete with virtual VU meters). Mode, Meter, Input, AX Mix, and Output controls put you in command, while an Analog section lets you dial in just the right amount of analog flavor. For the perfect combination of old-school production and modern flexibility, Sweetwater can recommend the Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plug-in!

Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter Native Plug-in Features:
  • Faithful model of the rare tube-powered original
  • Adds brightness, vibrancy and depth
  • Increases presence without raising levels
  • Perfect for vocal and instrumental tracks alike
  • Mix and AX modes for insert or send configurations
  • Mono and stereo components
  • Up to 24bit/192kHz resolution
  • Supports RTAS, Audio Suite, VST, AU
  • PC and Mac compatible

Controls

  • MODE selects the processing mode: MIX1, MIX2, AX
  • METER selects VU meter view options
  • INPUT controls input gain
  • AX MIX controls the amount of AX (aural excitement) added to the original signal
  • OUTPUT controls output gain
  • MAINS controls analog characteristics caused by hum, based on the power supplies of the original units.
  • NOISE controls level of the modeled analog noise
The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter packs classic performance into an amazing native plug-in!

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
