FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


The King of A Cappella Music Production Flourishes
in His PhantomFocus MixRoom™


-We revisit multi-award-winning a cappella mixer, producer and arranger Ed Boyer, two and a half years after his Carl Tatz Design PhantomFocus MixRoom™ went online -


Nashville, TN: Artists Katy Perry, Pentatonix and Ben Folds, actress Elizabeth Banks, television producer Sam Weisman and many others can all testify as to who is “the man” when it comes to a cappella music production. Multi-award-winning producer, mixer and arranger Ed Boyer, the reigning king of a cappella music production, continues to thrive and expand his client base relying on his expertise and his Carl Tatz Design PhantomFocus MixRoom™, which is elemental to his production method. 

Boyer comments, “Since moving into my Carl Tatz Design PhantomFocus MixRoom, mixing has been faster and more enjoyable. I spend less time hunting frequencies and more time being creative.”

Boyer described his PhantomFocus MixRoom decision process this way when the facility first went on line: “As a relatively new-school guy, I came up working in bedrooms with small speakers and headphones. I spent a lot of time and money trying to get my space closer to the enveloping sound I’d heard in commercial rooms. After upgrading monitors, buying bass traps, endlessly repositioning everything in the room, etc., results were noticeable, but meager. Installing Carl’s PhantomFocus MixRoom, though, was night-and-day. Everything finally sounds RIGHT. The difference is like making a recipe you found online vs. hiring a world-renowned chef.”

Included in Ed Boyer A Capella’s PhantomFocus MixRoom along with the acclaimed PhantomFocus System are the PhantomFocus Monitor Stands by Sound Anchor. All PhantomFocus MixRoom installations rely on the Carl Tatz Signature Series™ custom acoustic modules by Auralex®.

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.
