A continuing evolution of the celebrated original Phantom speaker launched in 2015, the Phantom Ultimate collection includes two models — the flagship 108dB ($3,800) and the compact 98dB ($1,900) in three distinctive finishes. This next-generation collection offers the ultimate fully immersive sound experiences, complete with expanded connectivity options and a sleek, modern design.
Innovating Sound for Fifteen Years
Headquartered in Paris and founded in 2007, Devialet’s engineers and designers have been inventing the future of sound for over fifteen years. Today, more than 250 patents protect the company’s radical innovations, spanning fields such as acoustic engineering, electronics, signal processing, mechanics, and cutting-edge manufacturing.

According to Jacques Demont, CEO of Devialet, “We are reaffirming our status as a luxury pioneer in audio with this new launch. We invite listeners to experience sound with unprecedented intensity, clarity, and depth, coupled with our visionary approach to design.”
The 108dB and 98dB models are available in two sophisticated finishes: Deep Forest, featuring rich dark green tones with black chrome detailing, and Light Pearl, an elegant ultra-matte off-white. The exclusive Opéra de Paris edition features the same elegant forms elevated with hand-applied 22-karat gold detailing.
Phantom Ultimate 108 dB ($3,800)
The Phantom Ultimate 108 dB introduces a new generation of loudspeakers protected by four newly registered patents engineered to deliver sound with extreme precision, free from distortion, saturation, or background noise.
The bass drivers offer an optimized acoustic response with smoother, more controlled low frequencies. The midrange driver has been specifically designed to eliminate unwanted resonance. As for the tweeter, it features a brand-new design that balances mechanical robustness with refined high-frequency reproduction.
The 108 dB delivers a high-resolution sound experience across an extended frequency range—from 14 Hz to 35 kHz (+/- 6 dB) for a total amplification power of 1,100 W. The user interface includes four touch controls on the top of the speaker. It also features enhanced connectivity with a broad range of streaming protocols, alongside the latest wireless capabilities –WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.
Phantom Ultimate 98 dB ($1,900)
The Phantom Ultimate 98 dB delivers high-fidelity sound reproduction in an ultra-compact form. Its exceptional size-to-performance ratio enables a wide frequency response, ranging from 18 Hz to 25 kHz (+/- 6 dB). It also features a total amplification power of 400 W and integrates an optimized signal processing chain (32-bit/96 kHz), ensuring ultra-precise playback—true to the artist’s original intent. A unique co-spherical wideband driver design significantly expands the soundstage while faithfully reproducing every note.
Both models are presented in customizable configurations — solo, stereo, or multi-room (via AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready).
