For more than a decade, Devialet has redefined what high-end audio can be. Now, the French luxury audio house is raising the bar again with the debut of its Phantom Ultimate collection—a next-generation line of loudspeakers that fuses radical acoustic innovation with Parisian design artistry.
The Phantom Ultimate collection features two models—the flagship 108 dB ($3,800) and the compact 98 dB ($1,900)—available in three distinctive finishes. This new evolution delivers fully immersive sound experiences, expanded connectivity, and a sleek, timeless design.
“We are reaffirming our status as a luxury pioneer in audio with this launch,” said Jacques Demont, CEO of Devialet. “We invite listeners to experience sound with unprecedented intensity, clarity, and depth, coupled with our visionary approach to design.”
Created in Paris, Engineered for Immersion
Designed by Devialet’s engineers in Paris, Phantom Ultimate embodies the acoustic excellence that has made the brand world-renowned. Its radically singular silhouette is instantly recognizable, yet it’s the sound that truly sets it apart: vivid, immersive, full-body audio that turns listening into a physical sensation.
This is Devialet’s most seamless immersive experience yet—offering even greater precision, impact, and connectivity. Whether recreating a live performance or a studio recording, Phantom Ultimate brings music to life in the home.
Proprietary Technology at the Core
Devialet has built its reputation on more than 250 patents, and Phantom Ultimate incorporates its most advanced suite yet:
- ADH® New Gen (Analog Digital Hybrid): combines analog warmth with digital efficiency for distortion-free highs up to 35 kHz.
- SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): adapts in real time for faithful sound wave reproduction.
- HBI® (Heart Bass Implosion): delivers ultra-low frequencies down to 14 Hz.
- AVL™ (Adaptive Volume Level): auto-adjusts volume for optimized playback across content types.
- Next-Gen Processor: powered by an NXP i.MX 8M Nano chip for improved performance and energy efficiency.
Together, these innovations create a sound experience that feels as physical as it does auditory.
Two Models, Distinct Appeal
Phantom Ultimate 108 dB ($3,800): The flagship model with 1,100W of power and a frequency range from 14 Hz to 35 kHz. Refined drivers, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready support make it an uncompromising centerpiece.
Phantom Ultimate 98 dB ($1,900): A compact powerhouse offering 400W of amplification, a range from 18 Hz to 25 kHz, and a co-spherical driver for expansive sound.
Both models work as solo, stereo, or multi-room systems, providing flexibility for a wide range of homes and lifestyles.
Finishes That Elevate
Phantom Ultimate is available in three finishes: Deep Forest (dark green with black chrome), Light Pearl (matte off-white), and the striking Opéra de Paris edition, hand-gilded with 22-carat gold.
Continuing the Opéra de Paris Partnership
Since 2017, Devialet has partnered with the Opéra national de Paris, celebrating a shared vision of excellence and deep ties to France’s musical heritage. The Phantom Ultimate | Opéra de Paris editions are the latest expression of this collaboration—a rare encounter between cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship.
Each gold-adorned edition is handcrafted by the master gilders at Ateliers Gohard, the same workshop entrusted with restoring the Palais Garnier. Using the centuries-old feuille perdue technique, artisans apply 22-carat gold leaf by hand, leaf by leaf, to the speaker’s side panels.
This partnership not only elevates Devialet’s products into works of art but also helps fund artistic creation at one of France’s most prestigious cultural institutions.
Why It Matters for Retailers
For retailers and integrators, Phantom Ultimate offers more than just another high-end audio line. It’s a luxury anchor product that combines design, performance, and brand prestige—perfect for drawing discerning customers into showrooms.
Its pricing strategy provides tiered opportunities:
- The 98 dB model as an entry point for aspirational buyers.
- The 108 dB flagship as the ultimate statement piece.
- The Opéra de Paris editions as true collector’s items.
Seamless streaming compatibility—including Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, UPnP, and Roon—and ongoing software updates through the Devialet App further strengthen its long-term value proposition.
