DEVIALET Gecko for Phantom Ultimate 108 dB Light Pearl
Overview
The Gecko is the wall-mount solution specifically designed for Devialet’s Phantom Ultimate 108 dB speaker. This mount combines mechanical precision and structural stability to preserve the acoustic performance of a speaker capable of delivering 1100 watts of power, while enabling elegant integration into your listening space.
Mechanical design in the service of performance
The Gecko stands out with its cast aluminum construction, a material chosen for its rigidity and ability to absorb parasitic vibrations. This metal structure, powder-coated for a durable matte finish, forms an unshakable base for the Phantom Ultimate 108 dB’s 11.1 kilograms. The mount comprises two distinct elements: a wall-mounting plate and a movable section for orienting the speaker.
This construction meets a precise technical challenge. The Phantom Ultimate 108 dB generates sound pressure levels reaching 108 decibels, equivalent to the volume of a rock concert. The side woofers create considerable forces during their extreme excursion, requiring perfectly stable support that the Gecko provides without introducing unwanted tonal coloration.
Installation flexibility and precise adjustment
Despite its technical sophistication, the Gecko is easy to install. The mount allows free placement on the wall, ideally between 45 and 90 centimeters from the floor to optimize sound propagation. The horizontal orientation system, adjustable by ±45 degrees, turns every installation into a customized acoustic setup.
This adjustability makes it possible to tailor sound dispersion to the specific characteristics of each room. In a stereo configuration, the speakers can be precisely aimed at the optimal listening point where the soundstage fully blossoms. The integrated power cable is a significant practical detail, preserving the visual purity of the setup while simplifying cabling—especially appreciated for high-mounted installations.
Visual harmony and coordinated finishes
Devialet offers the Gecko in three finishes coordinated with the Phantom Ultimate 108 dB variants. Light Pearl delivers a soft off-white hue reminiscent of ceramic biscuit. Deep Forest offers a modern interpretation of black with organic nuances. The Opéra de Paris finish, created in partnership with the cultural institution, echoes the golden codes of the Palais Garnier with side plates adorned with gold leaf applied by Ateliers Gohard.
This attention to finishes reflects Devialet’s philosophy, where technology and refinement converge. The mount becomes a full-fledged element of the audio system, contributing as much to the visual staging as to acoustic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Gecko compatible with other Devialet speaker models?
No, this specific Gecko model is exclusively designed for the Phantom Ultimate 108 dB. Its dimensions and structure are calibrated to support the weight and vibrational characteristics of this particular speaker. Other versions of the Gecko exist for the Phantom I, Phantom II, and Phantom Ultimate 98 dB models, each adapted to the specifics of its respective speaker.
How does the integrated power cable work?
The Gecko incorporates a power cable that connects directly to the Phantom Ultimate 108 dB speaker on one end and to a wall outlet on the other. This design eliminates the need for a cable hanging from the speaker, maintaining a clean, professional installation. The cable is rated to handle the speaker’s maximum power consumption, i.e., 1100 watts peak.
What is the maximum load supported by the Gecko?
The Gecko easily supports the Phantom Ultimate 108 dB’s 11.1 kilograms, with a substantial safety margin. Its cast aluminum construction gives it structural strength far exceeding the stresses involved, even during the most dynamic musical passages when the lateral forces generated by the woofers add to the static weight.
Is the 45-degree orientation sufficient for all setups?
The ±45-degree range covers the majority of home configurations. In a standard rectangular living room, this range allows precise aiming of the speaker toward the main listening area. For more complex layouts or rooms with atypical shapes, using two Geckos in a stereo configuration offers additional flexibility in creating the soundstage.
