DEVIALET PHANTOM II 98 DB opera de paris stereo

Connected speaker: Devialet Phantom II 98 dB

Phantom II Opéra de Paris | Devialet is not only a feat of sound engineering. It’s also an ode to one of the world’s most famous cultural institutions.

Inspired by the iconic gilding of the Paris Opera, the Phantom II Opéra de Paris | Devialet is adorned with side panels gilded with moongold leaf, a precious stainless steel alloy of palladium and yellow gold.

The application of the gold leaves on the side panels of the Phantom was entrusted to the Ateliers Gohard in Paris. Also responsible for restoring the gilding of the Opéra Garnier and other French national monuments, these master gilders use ancestral methods.

Each gold leaf is applied by hand in an eight-step process, creating an absolutely inimitable patina. This technique consists of applying a special glue to the surface. Once the mixtion is “in love” - an expression alluding to a slightly damp kiss - the gold leaves are laid down. And these heritage techniques require absolute precision because once a leaf has been applied, it can no longer be removed.

From revolution to reference

The Phantom II is the perfect embodiment of Devialet’s mission: to elevate sound to its rightful place in our lives by offering a unique and moving listening experience worldwide. Since its launch, Phantom II has revolutionized the speaker market and become a benchmark for acoustic excellence. Thanks to a set of radical and patented technologies, Phantom II constantly pushes the limits at every stage of the sound reproduction chain.

Zero distortion, zero saturation, zero background noise.

Devialet technologies

HBI (Heart Bass Implosion) Designed to withstand extreme pressures, Phantom’s hermetic architecture consists of two lateral woofers. Once in motion, they synchronize, creating opposing forces that neutralize the slightest vibrations and generate ultra-dense sound that speaks to your heart as much as your ears.

ADH: Invented by Devialet, ADH Intelligence is the first hybrid amplification technology that combines the refinement of Analog amplification with the power and compactness of Digital amplification. The two types of amplification work in parallel for increased performance.

SAM is a revolution in electro-acoustics that ensures for the first time perfect synchronization between the amplifier and the speakers connected to it.

ACE refers to the spherical design of the Phantom speaker, inspired by Olson’s pulsating sphere, the perfect acoustic shape for reproducing sound and diffusing its energy linearly in all directions.

Pair two Phantom II to create a stereo pair and widen the soundstage

In stereo, Phantom’s performance is amplified, offering an exceptional immersive experience. The harmonious synchronization of the speakers creates a new sonic dimension that is more intense, more powerful, and more exhilarating. By using two Phantom speakers in a stereo configuration, you get the most compact and high-end setup available on the market.

Together, they can generate a 3-decibel increase, which may seem minimal, but it effectively represents a doubling of Phantom’s sound power, providing you with a more immersive and emotional experience.

Devialet Application

To manage such significant power, it is necessary to have a certain level of control. The Devialet application, compatible with iOS and Android, offers an intuitive solution to customize your Phantom II speaker. You can configure and fine-tune your speaker’s settings, adjust latency for an optimal audiovisual experience, put it in sleep mode, or customize the bass for night mode. Stay up to date by using this application to get the most out of your Phantom II.
