Studio designer and monitoring expert Carl Tatz, principal of Carl Tatz Design® (CTD) (creator of the PhantomFocus™ line of Precision Monitoring Instruments), and Dave Morrison, president and founder of the IsoAcoustics® line of speaker isolation products, have announced the custom integration of IsoAcoustics’ award-winning pistonic decoupling technology into the new PhantomFocus PFM HD-1000 and PFM UHD-1000 Professional Reference Studio Monitors.

“Dave and I dialogued for a couple of years about how our two companies could work together, and the new PFM 1000 Series Professional Reference Monitors are the fruit of that collaboration. We could not be happier,” comments Tatz.

Dave Morrison adds, “We are very pleased to work with Carl to integrate IsoAcoustics into this exciting new series of monitors and be part of his mission to provide remarkable acoustic imaging and performance.”

About the PhantomFocus™ System

Carl Tatz Design’s proprietary PhantomFocus™ System monitor tuning protocol offers clients a unique opportunity to have a truly world-class monitoring experience in their room, no matter how modest. All speakers interact with the room they’re in, and the PhantomFocus System allows any monitors to perform at maximum accuracy - in any room - with a full 20Hz-to-20KHz frequency response and pinpoint imaging in what some owners have described as a “holographic sweet spot.” It is a new level of sonic accuracy that engenders easier, better and faster mixing that translates well in any environment.
There are approximately fifty steps in the proprietary PhantomFocus System implementation protocol, including phase alignment, system damping, speaker decoupling and isolation mounting, careful assessment of engineer/speaker placement relative to primary axial room modes, proprietary laser-calibrated speaker distancing and angle alignments, digitally-controlled crossover points and slopes for pass filtering, and, proprietary, multiband parametric equalization.
Hardware solutions can include monitor stands, concrete, Sorbothane™ and other isolation and damping materials, custom floating plenum mounts, subwoofer systems and custom digital processors. The PhantomFocus System evaluation and implementation is a full two-day process and can be applied to near-fields, mid-fields, and large soffit mounted monitors, regardless of manufacturer.
Carl Tatz Design installs the PhantomFocus System in existing control rooms and in all studios that are designed and built from the ground up by CTD. The result is like the aural equivalent of HD TV. Once you experience a PhantomFocus System, you can’t go back.
