What is a PhasxTM Monitor System?
Our PX Series monitors are DSP driven electro-acoustic engines designed to present their users with the same caliber of audio evaluation quality you would expect to find in a first class commercial recording studio’s control room.
All Phasx audio recording monitor systems are purpose built to operate on a standard desktop in a home-office type environment, with little to no acoustic treatment in the room outside of normal household furnishings. Of course they work amazing in professional and project studio environments too.
Presenting ShadocasterTM …the anti-near field reflection system that “paints” a reflection free zone on the desktop. The result is a startlingly clear audio image.
This level of detail and dynamics is almost never heard outside of a carefully designed acoustic space; and never for less than tens of thousands of dollars in equipment and acoustic treatment.
Every Phasx desktop monitor system comes with everything you need to track, edit, mix, and master music; except for a reasonably fast MAC or PC and the desk... the odd instrument and a microphone or two also help of course.
Need a professional Digital Audio Workstation? Save money and bundle a PX600 or PX300 with the DAW of your choice. Choose from Samplitude Pro X2, Pro Tools 11, or Ableton Live 9. Also inside is the incomparable, super low jitter XMOS USB audio system capable of any bitrate up to 192 kHz, 24 bit.
If you already have everything you need and you're just looking for something NEW, something BETTER... we sell our monitors by themselves too. Just give us a call and tell us what you need.
Modeling Makes a BIG Difference.
Giant home theater, OEM car system, or ring-tone speaker; a hit is still a hit no matter where it’s played back... but how do you know for sure?
Most of us used to run out after a studio session and “sanity check” the latest effort on a car stereo, a smart phone, a cheap flat screen TV, or Bluetooth speaker. What if you could do all that without ever leaving the desktop?
All our monitor systems make it possible to A/B switch between full range, full performance and a suite of acoustic simulations for common playback equipment. In some models you can switch between other powered monitors too.
Unlike just about any desktop monitor ever made, all Phasx studio monitors reproduce bass below 30Hz! That’s right, under 30 Hz on your desktop without the need for any additional subwoofers whatsoever.
Translation; you’ll experience bass response that is vastly better integrated into your music, and with the PX600 system, fully preserve IALD/IATD well below 28Hz!
Oh and no need to worry, we spent years learning how to make the bass move you and not your desk.
All monitor controller features are built in to our Phasx monitor APPs. They run on most smart phones and tablets, and are available as free downloads for all Phasx owners.
In addition to the monitor and simulation switching mentioned above, Phasx monitor apps provide highly accurate level and loudness information (critical for mastering), headphone listening, and of course modelling.
Wizard guided system set-up, maintenance, trouble-shooting, system firmware updates, and room EQ, are among many other included features.
Beauty is More Than Skin Deep
We've literally spent years tuning DSP code, evaluating transducers, amplifiers, and IC components to get the level of quality we demand.
All Phasx audio production suites use the XMOS USB 2 high resolution audio solution, Analog Devices DSP, and outrageous tweeters designed and built exclusively for Phasx.
The PX600 uses custom Hypex NCoreTM power amplifiers and top of the line Cirrus Logic & Burr-Brown DACs. PX300 uses top of the line amps and DACS too the likes of which are seen only in monitors costing at least 5 times the price of the entire PX300 system.
Friends, this is just the tip of the iceberg... to learn more about our monitoring systems check out our store and our blog.
Price. Performance. Perfect.
Phasx desktop audio production systems are not only a great value but are revolutionizing the way we create, listen to, and share music.
The S600 Shadocaster monitors will be available Fall 2015! If you want to be the one to tell your friends all about it and be the first to own a Phasx instrument get in touch with us now. We look forward to hearing from you!
