FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Emerald City Glistens Like a Gem With Beautiful New Studio by Carl Tatz Design


– Yellow Brick Road leads to Danny Ozment's new Emerald City Productions outside of Nashville in Franklin, TN –


– Danny Ozment, who has become a force in the burgeoning genre of a cappella music, quickly chose to hire Carl Tatz Design (CTD) after experiencing the PhantomFocus™ System at one of Nashville's award-winning studios designed by CTD, Fly By West –


Nashville, TN: Internationally acclaimed a cappella engineer/producer Danny Ozment and his highly experienced pops and classical music producer wife Erin Ozment, along with their two children, have recently moved their Emerald City Productions from the Washington, DC area to Franklin, TN, outside of Music City – into a brand new custom home that includes a Carl Tatz Design recording studio featuring a CTD MixRoom™ and PhantomFocus™ System.

Built from the ground up, the studio offers a large tracking room with eighteen-foot angled ceilings with distressed barn wood flooring and a large overdub booth with excellent sight lines to the MixRoom. Warm, comfortable and airy with windows overlooking its pastoral setting, the facility is postured to accommodate anything from large tracking sessions to overdubs and world-class editing and mixing. 

The well-appointed skylit cathedral ceiling lounge, kitchenette and full bath provide musicians with a chill area in between sessions. “Carl is very hands-on during the entire process, and that was very welcome. He takes ownership of the project and doesn’t hand it over to you until he’s pleased with the result. I’m very thankful that I hired Carl to design the new location for Emerald City Productions,” comments Danny Ozment.

The studio's featured CTD MixRoom, which utilizes the Carl Tatz Design Signature Series™ acoustic modules by Auralex®, is highlighted by Tatz's proprietary PhantomFocus System driving the new PhantomFocus™ Monitors. “Carl’s PhantomFocus System has eliminated my need to regularly check mixes on other systems or in different environments. My current mixes translate like they never did in my last room and the change was almost overnight,” stated Ozment.

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.
