Carl Tatz Design Helps The News Room Make Headlines in Nashville

– New Carl Tatz Design MixRoom™ Opens in Nashville for News Media Composer Tom Snider –

– Music composers have unique requirements when it comes to control room design. In this case, both audio and video monitoring needed to be non-fatiguing over long hours of concentration on tracks that are usually highly detailed orchestrations meant for quick impact during news programming. Fingertip-control ergonomics, posture-supportive seating and inspiring well-lit aesthetics were a must –

Nashville, TN: Tom Snider, news media composer for MSNBC, CNBC, FOX and all three major networks – ABC, NBC, and CBS – wanted the same sensation of effortless control in his new studio that he felt while driving his high-performance BMW. The Carl Tatz TEC Award-Winning MixRoom™ featuring the acclaimed PhantomFocus™ System (PFS™) was the obvious choice for Snider after experiencing one of Tatz's MixRoom facilities in Nashville. Along with the CTD MixRoom acoustic design featuring the Carl Tatz Signature Series™ acoustic modules by Auralex® and PFS monitoring, The News Room features the new PhantomFocus eChair (engineer's chair), a custom cockpit console by Sound Construction and Supply, a MixRoom overdub booth, and four 40" 4K video screens. Snider comments, “Carl's MixRoom monitoring environment with the PhantomFocus System is a quantum leap, another dimension in audio with pinpoint timbral and imaging clarity that is ruthlessly accurate – like nothing I have heard anywhere. A studio environment this inspiring is hard to leave at the end of the day."

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.   About the Carl Tatz Signature Series™ by Auralex® The Carl Tatz Signature Series™ by Auralex® family of control room acoustic modules (now featured in a dedicated section on the Auralex website), emulates the look and acoustics of Carl Tatz's custom designs at a fraction of the cost.
