The Ultimate Recording & Mixing Environment
For professional engineers, producers, and artists who demand absolute sonic accuracy and mixes that translate perfectly, every time—from Carl Tatz Design.
Your Mix is Only as Good as Your Room
In the world of professional audio production and engineering, the listening environment is the final arbiter of quality. An inaccurate room can obscure critical details, leading to hours of guesswork and mixes that fail to translate to the outside world. Common issues like poor stereo imaging, uncontrolled low-frequency response, and acoustic anomalies force engineers to compensate and re-check their work endlessly. This uncertainty is the greatest obstacle for any sound engineer trying to achieve a fast, confident, and inspiring workflow. A truly great studio does not fight you; it provides an unwavering sonic truth that you can rely on implicitly.
Hear Everything with the PhantomFocus™ System
What if your studio monitors could deliver pinpoint accuracy with a truly holographic, three-dimensional soundstage? That is the promise of the PhantomFocus™ System (PFS). It is a meticulous implementation protocol that elevates your chosen monitors to perform like the best studio monitors available, achieving a level of performance previously unattainable. By precisely controlling phase, time, and frequency response, the PFS creates the legendary “PhantomFocus eChair™” listening position. Here, you will experience full-range accuracy from 20Hz to 20kHz, allowing you to hear every detail—reverb tails, compression artifacts, and subtle EQ changes—with absolute clarity. It removes the room from the equation, giving you the confidence that your mixes will translate flawlessly to any other system.
The MixRoom™: A Revolution in Studio Design
The PhantomFocus MixRoom™ is our definitive solution to this challenge. It is a complete, turnkey system that integrates our core technologies into a predictable, world-class monitoring environment, regardless of your room’s original limitations. This holistic approach is built on our foundational principles of acoustic excellence.
The PhantomFocus™ System
The core of every MixRoom™ is the TEC Award-winning PhantomFocus™ System. This is our proprietary, on-site tuning protocol that creates a breathtakingly accurate sound field with holographic imaging and ruler-flat frequency response. It is the engine that delivers sonic precision.
Signature Acoustic Treatment
In partnership with Auralex®, we developed the Carl Tatz Signature Series™ family of acoustic modules. These custom-designed modules are engineered to work in concert with the PhantomFocus™ System, meticulously controlling reflections and taming room modes to create a neutral canvas.
Guaranteed Turnkey Implementation
A MixRoom™ is not a DIY kit; it is a fully implemented, custom-installed environment. Our team handles every aspect of the design and installation, ensuring that your room performs to its maximum potential and provides you with a guaranteed, world-class result from day one.
Scalable Solutions for Any Studio
Whether you are building a recording studio from the ground up or upgrading an existing space, the PhantomFocus MixRoom™ concept is scalable and adaptable. We apply the same uncompromising standards when transforming a spare bedroom into a personal project studio as we do when designing a multi-room commercial facility. For personal studios, we can convert nearly any room into a professional mixing environment that rivals the performance of the world’s most expensive control rooms. For commercial studios, upgrading an existing control room to the PhantomFocus™ standard gives your facility a significant competitive advantage, attracting top-tier clients who demand the highest level of accuracy.
