However, the frequency response that a normal speaker can effectively reproduce is much, much less. Additionally, speakers add distortion and phase changes that make the sound quite different from that of the original material. A sonic exciter restores clarity and presence to the processed signal by correcting phase changes and harmonic structure differences. In other words, it puts the components of the sound back where they belong. All of this magic is done by the use of all-pass filtering, frequency compensated gain adjustment, and compensated frequency domain delay. What this means to you is the elements of your sound are fanned out like a deck of cards, making each sound more audible and distinct, reducing the need for high volume and radical equalizer adjustment. a copy of the purchase receipt.
