Songwriter, producer, artist, and Lala Mansion Nashville studio owner Don Miggs, who recently relocated to Nashville from his previous Lala Mansion location in Tampa, comments, “I loved my new studio. I loved how it sounded. I was wrong. I couldn’t even imagine how much better the sound could be until Carl installed his PhantomFocus System with my existing monitors.”Lala Mansion Nashville now joins its sister facility in Los Angeles, Lala Mansion West.  Studio designer Carl Tatz shares, “We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with this great recording complex, one of our proudest achievements, and now with Don at the helm, I’m sure it will continue its arc of excellence.” Miggs expands, “The PhantomFocus System is not only amazing to listen to, it makes me a better engineer.

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.
