Because, to be very plain spoken, l have never used a single piece of gear that made this much difference in the overall sound of a system, and it will be hard to write about it without sounding like an Aphex shill. So please understand going in that Aphex did not write the review or influence it. They got the same fact check opportunity as any other company, but noth ing else. We even returned the gear in just 72 hours-far less time than we usually take. No money or gear changed hands, and at t

Many of our processors have become the de new proprietary techniques the 2020MkII was born. Aphex facto standard of the industry in their particular categories -research ensures that each and every link in the 2020MkII (Dominator®, Compellor®, Aural Exciter®, Big Bottom®, etc.). processing chain outperforms any comparable link in any It is with this heritage that we undertook the development competitive product. When the links are combined the MkII of the original 2020. After five years in devel

Leading Aphex Technology The Compellor circuits are totally unique. By throwing away all conventional design ideas, we created audio processing with unprecedented sound transparency, yet is exceedingly effective at controlling levels. Because our designs are patented, no other company has been able to match the performance. Algorithms like our exclusive “DVG”, “DRC”, and “FDL” have yet to find any rivals. Unmatched Reliability Aphex engineering and manufacturing produces products that last and l

Through the use of multiband techniques along with new proprietary circuits, the audibility of limiting action has been greatly reduced, especially when compared to conventional limiters. This means that greater limiting depth is possible, resulting in higher loudness with maintained audio quality. At virtually any limiting depth, the Dominator II is free of “hole punching”, “dullness”, and most other effects normally associated with limiters. As a peak overshoot protection limiter, the Dominato

As the input increases above threshold, the output takes the shape of the de-emphasis curve. When both pre and de-emphasis are switched out, the Model 722 works exactly like the Model 720.

Our incredible new 2 channel Model 1100 gives you up to 20dB more headroom than conventional preamps, allowing you to record hotter tracks with the highest possible digital resolution. This unprecedented amount of headroom, combined with an EIN of -135dB, allows you to take more gain without the pain of overload distortion or noise. MORE GAIN-NO PAIN To achieve this amazing performance, we developed new proprietary circuitry - here's a taste... • Discrete Class A Bipolar PNP Solid State Fron
