Devialet Phantom Ultimate: The Next-Level Evolution of High-Fidelity Sound

Experience the pinnacle of sound innovation with Devialet Phantom Ultimate, delivering immersive, high-resolution audio like never before.

A Decade of Revolution in Sound

If you're anything like me, the first time you heard about the original Devialet Phantom back in 2015, it was like a seismic shift in high-fidelity audio. This speaker shattered all expectations with its groundbreaking technology—88 patents and three intense years of R&D gave birth to what many consider a true audio revolution.

Fast forward ten years, and Devialet is back with the Phantom Ultimate—a worthy heir to the icon. Crafted in Paris by engineers and designers obsessed with sonic purity, this new generation speaker promises to uncover every hidden nuance in your favorite tracks, delivering pure, high-resolution sound that will make your living room feel like your favorite live venue.

The Sound That Moves You

What really blew me away with the Phantom Ultimate is its audio quality. Imagine sound so vivid and immersive that it feels almost physical—like the music is pulsing right through you. It's the kind of experience that turns everyday listening into a full-bodied sensation, whether you're jamming to classic rock or diving into the latest studio album.

With even sharper precision, more impact, and expanded connectivity options, the Phantom Ultimate redefines what you should expect from a wireless speaker. This isn’t just a device; it’s a portal to live performances and studio magic, right at home.

“Devialet is more ambitious than ever. With Devialet Phantom Ultimate, we reaffirm our status as a pioneer in the audio industry.”

— Jacques Demont, CEO of Devialet

Sound. As Pure Emotion.

Devialet’s mission has always been to capture the raw emotion of sound—the kind that vibrates through your soul and connects you deeply with the music. For over 15 years, the Paris-based team has pushed boundaries, amassing over 250 patents that span acoustic engineering, electronics, and manufacturing.

This dedication to innovation has shaped Devialet’s unique acoustic signature, delivering listening experiences that feel intimate yet expansive. Each note is reproduced with such clarity and density, it’s like the music is alive and breathing in your room.

A Design Icon Reimagined

The Phantom Ultimate isn't just about sound—it's a feast for the eyes too. The silhouette is streamlined into something both timeless and boldly innovative, refining the iconic elongated shape Devialet fans will recognize.

One cool design tweak? The woofer core cover has been removed on the 108 dB model for a seamless, striking appearance. This was no small feat—it required a full rethink of the speaker’s core and assembly process. The tweeter grille was also redesigned with six months of fine-tuning to marry aesthetics with acoustic performance perfectly.

Phantom Ultimate makes a grand entrance in two new finishes:

• Deep Forest: A rich, dark organic tone with black chrome details that shimmer with subtle green reflections.
• Light Pearl: Inspired by bisque ceramics, this ultra-matte off-white hue is gentle yet distinct.

More than just a speaker, Phantom Ultimate is an artistic statement, crafted for transformative listening.

Craftsmanship Meets Cutting-Edge Technology

The heart of Phantom Ultimate is assembled in La Manufacture Devialet, the company’s high-tech factory founded in 2015. Here, expert artisans and advanced robotics combine to create loudspeakers with precision and passion.

Each speaker undergoes rigorous quality control in a dedicated atelier where every product is lovingly maintained and restored to peak performance when needed. It’s this rare blend of handcraft and innovation that makes every Phantom Ultimate speaker a masterpiece.

Proprietary Technologies Powering the Sound

Underneath the elegant exterior lies a powerhouse of technology that has become Devialet’s hallmark:

• ADH® New Gen (Analog Digital Hybrid): Combines the smooth finesse of analog Class A amplification with the power efficiency of digital Class D, pushing frequencies up to 35 kHz with stunning clarity.
• SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): Real-time adaptation to sound signals ensures absolute fidelity while protecting the speakers.
• HBI® (Heart Bass Implosion): Delivers ultra-deep bass down to 14 Hz that you don’t just hear—you feel it.
• AVL™ (Adaptive Volume Level): Dynamically adjusts volume based on content type to maintain a cinematic audio experience.

The upgraded NXP i.MX 8M Nano processor offers advanced audio processing with optimized performance and energy efficiency—technology that’s as smart as it is powerful.

A User Experience Tailored for You

Devialet has thought of everything to make the Phantom Ultimate intuitive and versatile. It runs on the latest DevialetOS (DOS3), a new software architecture designed for seamless integration across the brand’s product ecosystem.

Streaming? Covered. AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, UPnP—you name it. Whatever your music source, Phantom Ultimate is ready.

Devialet App: Your Audio Command Center

The reborn Devialet App offers smooth, effortless control. With personalized audio modes, you can tailor sound to fit your mood or content:

• Music Mode: Faithfully renders sound as the artist intended.

The six-band equalizer lets you fine-tune every frequency, with handy bass reducer and loudness options for perfect sound balance at any volume.

Phantom Ultimate 108 dB: High-Powered Precision

This flagship model is protected by four new patents and designed to deliver sound without distortion or noise. The bass drivers provide smooth, controlled lows, and the midrange driver eliminates resonance. The tweeter is robust yet refined, capturing crisp highs.

With 1,100 watts of amplification and audio processing up to 32 bit/96 kHz, it covers a frequency range from 14 Hz to 35 kHz, delivering a truly high-resolution experience.

Connectivity is beefed up with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and four touch controls on top. Choose from solo, stereo, or multi-room setups, and three finishes: Deep Forest, Light Pearl, and the luxurious Opéra de Paris edition.

Phantom Ultimate 98 dB: Compact Yet Mighty

The smaller sibling punches well above its weight with a frequency response from 18 Hz to 25 kHz and 400 watts of amplification. Thanks to a co-spherical wideband driver, its soundstage is impressively wide and natural.

It’s perfect for compact spaces, still offering solo, stereo, or multi-room configurations and the same three elegant finishes.

Where High Technology Meets Timeless Artistry

The exclusive partnership with the Opéra national de Paris continues to flourish, blending state-of-the-art audio with exquisite French craftsmanship. Artisans at Ateliers Gohard painstakingly apply 22-carat gold leaf to the side panels using traditional techniques, creating a speaker that’s as much a work of art as it is a technological marvel.

This collaboration celebrates heritage and innovation while supporting artistic creation at one of France's most prestigious cultural institutions.

Stereo Sound That Feels Alive

Put two Phantom Ultimate speakers in stereo, and you’re enveloped in sound as rich and dynamic as a live concert. Vocals gain depth, instruments find their precise place, and every rhythm bursts forth with clarity and emotion. This is not just listening; it’s being transported.
