SUN VALLEY, CA – Aphex has donated several of its professional audio products for an auction to benefit Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers (H.E.A.R.), which is hosted on the foundation's eBay store. Bidding began Oct. 18 and was set to continue for two weeks.
The donated goods include an Aphex Model 204 Aural Exciter and Big Bottom signal processor and two Aphex Model 454 HeadPod Headphone Amps. Proceeds of the sales of these products will benefit H.E.A.R. and its ongoing education programs promoting hearing awareness.
