exciters
Things that energize
Exciters are things that excite—that stimulate, arouse, or energize.
In electrical engineering, an exciter is a device that provides the magnetic field current for a generator or motor.
In audio production, an exciter is a processor that adds harmonics to brighten or enhance sound: The mix engineer added an exciter to give the vocals more presence.
More generally, anything that provokes excitement or activity qualifies.
