Why This Matters: This continues a trend of PhantomFocus™ Systems installed in the state of Washington while being the first to incorporate one of the new PFS PFM Series High-Definition and Ultra-High-Definition Precision Monitoring Instruments from Carl Tatz Design

Nashville, TN: Carl Tatz Design (CTD) has recently installed one of its new PhantomFocus™ System PFS™ PFM HD-1000 High-Definition Precision Monitoring Instruments systems at Amplified Wax in Spokane, Washington, which has become a beacon of high-quality production for many artists and bands in the Northwest region of the country.

Engineer/producer and Amplified Wax studio owner Jimmy Hill had the PhantomFocus System on his radar for a long time after hearing one at The Blue Grotto, a CTD TEC Award-Winning PhantomFocus MixRoom™ in Nashville. However, he wanted to wait until he moved his studio to a new spacious location in downtown Spokane, so by the time construction was completed, the new series of PFS monitors had become available and Hill chose the PFS PFM HD-1000 High Definition Precision Monitoring Instruments system, which includes the value-added PhantomFocus eChair™.

"Upon first listen I was blown away," says Hill describing his initial PFS experience in his control room. "Each day since, I find myself excited to sit down and start mixing. Music should be an experience, not a technical battle between listener and technology. The PFS PFM HD-1000 system totally removes that veil and reveal the truth. Although my experience with such a precision monitoring system has been brief, we are already producing some of our finest work."

Hill, who owns the studio with his talented wife and business partner Mandy, is a hands-on engineer/producer who works very hard with each artist, gleaning out their vision of what they want to acheive without intruding into their art. A sort of 21st century Ahmet Ertegun, his work is extraordinary, samples of which can be heard at amplifiedwax.com.

Hill goes on to comment, "It's really an amazing thing. I have just produced a track with a very complex arrangement that included acoustic guitar, piano, vocals, background vocals, electric guitar, full choir, cello, electronic drums, aux percussion, and full drums. I could not have done it nearly as well without the clarity, power and precision that the PFS monitors provide. The mixes actually made the clients tear up. Thank you Carl."
