Carl Tatz Design® (CTD) Installs Two PhantomFocus™ PFM HD-1000 Near-field Master Reference Monitor Systems in New Studios D and E at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)

New CTD Installation brings the total to eleven PhantomFocus™ Systems (PFS) at MTSU’s prestigious recording program by adding two new Dual PhantomFocus Systems featuring PFM HD-1000 Near-field Master Reference Monitor Systems and ADAM S3H mid-field monitors.

Nashville, TN: Carl Tatz Design® (CTD) recently installed two of its acclaimed PFM HD-1000 Master Reference Near-field Monitor Systems into two new studios, D and E, at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) within its Audio Production Program. The monitors were part of Dual PhantomFocus Systems that utilized ADAM S3H monitors in a mid-field application.

MTSU professor and RI Project Lead Dan Pfeifer states, “I’ve been teaching studio engineering for decades, but never before have I witnessed a technological change make such a big difference in student outcomes. Thanks Carl!”

MTSU faculty and students have enjoyed PhantomFocus technology for the last several years, being the leading educational facility to do so. There is a Dual 5.1 PFS in Studio A (near-fields and mains); a Dual two-channel PFS in Studio B (near-fields and mains); a Dual PFS (near-fields and mains as part of a CTD renovation in Studio C); a Near-field PFS in The Mix Lab; and now with the addition of twin Studios D and E (near-field and mid-fields), it brings it to a total of eleven PhantomFocus Systems at the university.

Director of Fine Arts Professor Bill Crabtree points out, “The systems are nothing short of remarkable. Pinpoint accurate imaging and frequency response with consistent and impactful low end at any loudness level on either set of speakers. Carl and his team did an outstanding job installing these systems. The end result is a monitoring experience for our students that is second to none.”

“We’re very grateful for the amazing support and confidence we’ve received over the years from MTSU faculty, tech department, students and administration Thanks to all,” remarks Carl Tatz.
