About Aphex

Formerly Aphex Systems, the company is now Aphex, LLC, wholly owned by DWV Entertainment. Aphex moved in 2011 to Burbank, California, in a purpose built facility. Aphex products are manufactured in the United States, primarily in Burbank and L.A. area. Design facilities are in Park City, Utah.

Aphex builds products for the professional audio, broadcast, fixed installation, touring-sound and home-recording markets.

Aphex products have been used in the recording industry for over 35 years. Artists like Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, and hundreds of others, have all used Aphex technologies to enhance their recordings. Aphex has developed further products for live performance, TV and radio broadcast, musical instrument and consumer electronics worldwide.

Aphex has developed a number of technologies and products, such as the Aural Exciter, Compellor, Dominator, Expander/Gate and Expressor, plus the Model 1100 Two-Channel and Model 1788 Eight-Channel Ultra-Precision Remotely Controllable Microphone Pre-Amplifiers, and the Model 2020 Mk III Broadcast Audio Processor. A key element of all the dynamics processing products is the Voltage Controlled Attenuator, the Aphex VCA 1001. Another key element is Aphex' input and output circuitry, using electronic balancing techniques instead of transformers. In the late 2000s, Aphex introduced a digital signal transport product, the Anaconda 64-Channel Bidirectional Digital Snake.

Aphex has made major changes and improvements to its operations, product development, technology, innovation and production since being purchased by DWV Entertainment. In addition, Aphex launched a new innitiative in 2012 with digital DSP and highly acclaimed audio enhancement apps for mobile devices under the product name Audio Xciter. Apps are available on iTunes and Android app stores.
