Engineer/producer and legacy PhantomFocus Monitor System owner Jimmy Hill has installed his second pair of PFM HD-1000 Master Reference Monitors at The Lake House, his new DIY Carl Tatz Design-inspired MixRoom located just outside of Spokane, Washington.
Hill’s successful large full-service recording studio, Amplified Wax, is currently celebrating its seventh anniversary as the go-to studio in downtown Spokane. The studio has featured the PFM HD-1000s for several years.
The PFM HD-1000 is a passive close-field monitor in a low-profile D’Appolito design facilitating console/listener placement. With accelerated response time, phase linearity and tightly controlled mid-bass response, the PFM HD-1000 promises accuracy and non-fatiguing performance beyond that of traditional high- and mid-frequency driver motor capability. It features two proprietary Morel 5.63-inch (143.51 mm) Uniflow aluminium diecast woofers with large 3-inch voice coils and a proprietary 1-inch (23.4 mm) ScanSpeak tweeter with patented phase plug design. The monitor is available with the passive Straight Wire crossover and an optional bi-amp version. The PFM HD-1000 Monitor dimensions are HWD 8.2-inch x 17.8-inch x 12.2-inch (208.28 mm x 452.12 mm x 309.88 mm), and it weighs 22.2lbs (10.06kg).
According to Hill, there was never any question that he would also want them at The Lake House once completed. Referring to the new Ice Cube-12 subwoofers in his new PFM HD-1000 Monitor System, he remarks, ‘the low end is the new high-end’.
