FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Carl Tatz Design Announces New Subwoofer


PhantomFocus™ PFM ICE Cube-12 Subwoofer defines new benchmark
for low-frequency performance in critical mix room applications


Nashville, TN: Carl Tatz Design® LLC (CTD™), the award-winning studio and monitoring design firm, has announced a new high-performance professional reference studio subwoofer as part of its acclaimed line of PhantomFocus™ Precision Monitoring Instruments.

The PFM ICE Cube-12 Subwoofer anchors the foundational sonic footprint of the PhantomFocus System but can be used in any application where the audio professional demands the highest low-frequency performance with full 20 Hz frequency response and extremely tight and powerful dynamic pitch articulation. 

Two years in development, it is the first subwoofer to display the PFM moniker and the finest ever to be implemented into the acclaimed PhantomFocus System™ (PFS™).

Designed with the latest cutting-edge ICE Power® amplifier technology developed by Bang & Olufsen (B&O) of Denmark, the PFM ICE Cube-12Subwoofer renders both effortless power on demand and virtually no wasted energy, all while running cool.

The 12-inch long-throw, audiophile grade paper-coned driver offers tremendous sonic authority, and along with a massive magnet motor structure and cast aluminum frame, it takes no prisoners as it defines the engine for the PFS. Additionally, the no-nonsense simple design of the ICE Cube-12 Subwoofer employs a powerful DSP solution for crossover and driver control as well as maintaining a low distortion output by preventing signal overload. The unusually strong cabinet is built with 3/4-inch medium-density fiberboard (MDF) that has been internally laminated with a 1/8-inch aluminum substrate bracing mechanism for ultra-rigidity. 

The PFM ICE Cube-12 Dimensions are HWD 15.75" x 15.75" x 15.75" (400.05 mm x 400.05 mm x 400.05 mm) and weighs 55 lbs. (24.9476 kg), Max Continuous SPL 120 dB, 700 Watts Amp, Low Pass Filter 40-140 Hz with LFE Bypass, 0-180 Phase Switch, L&R Line Level RCA/PFS Balanced XLR input, Studio Black High Gloss Finish

The PFM ICE Cube-12 Subwoofer and additional specifications are available now from www.phantomfocus.com.

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.
