FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Aster Sound Blooms in Music City
Lead PhantomFocus Installation Engineer Adam David Smith opens his own PhantomFocus MixRoom™ in Nashville
Nashville, TN: Adam David Smith, Lead PhantomFocus Installation Engineer for Carl Tatz Design® (CTD), now has his own personal PhantomFocus MixRoom™ named Aster Sound, installed in an unused space in his home in Nashville. The facility has been a long-term goal for Smith, who has installed many PhantomFocus Systems (PFS) across the country, and now having his own is a dream come true.
“I think Adam, who does such meticulous work installing our monitor systems, was understandably both spoiled by the PFS and at the same time, frustrated to have to come back to his modest studio and make do for his mix projects. So, I’m really happy for him now that he has the real deal to work in,” states Carl Tatz, seven-time TEC Award-nominated studio designer and PhantomFocus creator.
Smith, who chose a pair of PFM HD-1000 Master Reference Monitors for Aster Sound, says, “Unsurprisingly, I work faster with more confidence producing better and more consistent mixes – and have a lot more fun. Like all PF MixRooms, Aster Sound is very comfortable to work in for long hours both sonically and environmentally. Even though my MixRoom has a relatively compact footprint, it feels like a larger room due to Carl’s architectural and acoustic design.”
Auralex® Carl Tatz Design Signature Series™ Acoustics Modules were used throughout the installation.

About the PhantomFocus™ Monitor System
Carl Tatz Design’s proprietary PhantomFocus™ Monitor 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 Monitor 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 Monitor 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 Monitor 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 Monitor 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 HDTV. Once you experience a PhantomFocus Monitor System, you can’t go back.
