RECORDING November 2024 - 57

designed for work where one is hunched
forward, in our case, over a keyboard
and mouse, a mixing desk or even a piano
keyboard.
There are three adjustment levers on the
bottom of the eChair. One is for height.
The second controls the seat's tilt, tilting
farther forward than back. The final lever
controls the angle of the backrest. The
backrest is attached to the seat, so it's essential
to consider and adjust both simultaneously
to find your perfect fit.
You will find detailed instructions in the
box and videos online to help you do so.
Don't be surprised if the first few times
you sit in your new chair, it takes you a bit
of time to get used to the experience, as it
retrains you to sit with proper posture.
Sit Down and Get to Work
As someone who has been using a
Stealth PRO executive model for the past
seven years (still going strong), I believe
the PhantomFocus eChair is a beautiful
upgrade. I love the look of the chrome finish
and can already attest that it's pretty
resilient and easy to dust and keep clean
(you get cleaning instructions with your
chair as well).
Like most furniture these days, some assembly
is required out of the box. You will find
Carl's personal setup suggestions in the box
and videos online to help you do so, and it
should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
The five splayed legs of the chair sit
on smooth, gliding, heavy-duty plastic
rollers, and there are also a pair of adjustable
arms (height and width) that can
even be removed if one wants to play guitar
seated in an eChair.
Years of Experience
Earlier, I made the hyperbolic statement
that this series of chairs changed my life.
Let me qualify the statement. I have had a
herniated L4-L5 disk for 20+ years. With
seven years of experience with this chair
line, I can say it has more than helped
keep the discomfort at bay, and I do a
lot of sitting both at the studio and in my
home office/edit suite, so an ergonomically
comfortable chair is vital to me.
Another thing I like about the PhantomFocus
eChair is its compact size. It takes up much
less space than most other big, cushy,
comfy, lounge-style desk chairs, and did
I mention the eChair feels so much better
on your back?
Final Thoughts
I was and am still an unequivocal fan
of the Stealth PRO line, and I think the
next-level aesthetics of the PhantomFocus
eChair add increased value to an already
stellar seating option.
The PhantomFocus eChair will run between
$699 and $849 based on the color
and style. This is well in line with other
high-end seating options and, again, in
my opinion, a much better choice than the
$99 to $300 options you will find at your
local office supply store.
Whatever chair you choose, do not
compromise proper posture and back
health. I think picking a proper studio
chair may be almost as crucial as acoustically
treating your room-seriously.
A final fun fact: the Master Engineer Series
eChair is the only chair to ever be nominated
for a NAMM TEC Award, and the
eChair of your choice is included as part
of the PhantomFocus Monitor System in the
Carl Tatz PhantomFocus MixRoom, which
we reviewed in our November 2021 issue.
Price: $849 (model reviewed)
