He then took that to another level by developing his own technology and products. Carl wanted to take monitoring to another more precise level and developed his Phantom Focus technology, which incorporates dual subwoofers and meticulous setup using a client’s existing monitors.

Along the way he incorporate his own products into the mix, which includes monitors, subwoofers, amplifiers, monitor stands, workstations and even a specialized eChair that helps keep the listener locked into the sweet spot. During the interview we talked about the beginnings of Phantom Focus, the little known Allison Effect, some practical room tips for setting up a subwoofer and your monitors, and much more.
