This connected speaker is equipped with wifi, is multiroom, and supports a wide variety of audio sources such as Airplay 2, Spotify Connect, Deezer, Bluetooth, and Roon. It can be used alone or in stereo with a second speaker for an even more exceptional immersive experience.

The side panels in yellow gold leaf of this finish are inspired by the Paris Opera and bring an elegant and exclusive appearance to the speaker.

The cutting-edge technologies integrated into Devialet Phantom

Devialet is renowned for its cutting-edge technologies, which have revolutionized the audio industry. Here is an overview of the main technologies developed by Devialet:

ADH (analog digital hybrid) technology is the cornerstone of the Devialet range of connected speakers. This patented technology combines the best of analog and digital amplifiers to deliver unparalleled sound quality. Thanks to ADH, Devialet Phantom speakers offer extremely low distortion and an extended frequency response for an exceptional listening experience.

SAM (speaker active matching) technology allows the Devialet wireless speaker to perfectly adapt to the room’s acoustics. By measuring the speaker’s frequency response and using sophisticated algorithms, SAM optimizes sound quality in real-time for an even more immersive listening experience.

HBI (heart bass implosion) is a patented technology that allows Devialet connected speakers to produce deep bass with incredible power, without distortion. Thanks to this innovation, Devialet wireless speakers are capable of reproducing the lowest bass with exceptional precision and clarity.

The spherical design of the Devialet Phantom connected speaker, called ACE, is inspired by Olson’s pulsating sphere, considered the perfect acoustic shape for sound reproduction. This design allows for linear diffusion of sound energy in all directions, ensuring homogeneous sound regardless of the listening angle. In addition, ACE eliminates sound diffraction at the speaker’s surface for an even more immersive and natural listening experience.
