Experience revolutionary sound innovation with Devialet's Phantom Ultimate speakers and elite hi-fi systems at AXPONA 2026.

Introducing a New Era of Sonic Bliss at AXPONA 2026

If you're anything like me—a devoted audio enthusiast with a penchant for groundbreaking sound tech—Devialet’s presence at AXPONA 2026 should be the highlight of your year. The French acoustic wizards are pulling out all stops with the debut of their next-generation Phantom Ultimate speakers. Imagine stepping into a room drenched in vibrant, crystal-clear sound that feels alive, all brought to you by two distinct listening experiences nestled within the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center. It’s not just a showcase; it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in a world where sound knows no boundaries.

Two Distinct Worlds of Sound: Lifestyle and Reference Hi-Fi

Devialet’s setup at AXPONA isn't a one-trick pony. In one room, the Phantom Ultimate speakers captivate with their sleek design and immersive soundscapes. Across the hall, the brand’s flagship Devialet Astra integrated amplifier takes center stage, paired with the legendary Wilson Audio speakers. This reference-grade hi-fi system is a dream come true for audiophiles craving the pinnacle of audio fidelity.

The Phantom Ultimate collection comes in two compelling flavors:

• Phantom Ultimate 108dB — The powerhouse at $3,800, boasting a jaw-dropping 108 dB sensitivity.
• Phantom Ultimate 98dB — The more compact sibling at $1,900, perfect for tighter spaces without compromising on quality.

Both models arrive in three stunning finishes and offer a seamless blend of immersive sound, enhanced connectivity, and futuristic design.

A Legacy of Innovation: Fifteen Years of Acoustic Mastery

Devialet's story reads like an epic saga of innovation. Founded in 2007 and rooted in Paris, this brand has spent over a decade and a half perfecting the art and science of sound. With a treasure trove of over 250 patents in acoustic engineering, electronics, and signal processing, Devialet doesn’t just follow trends—it forges them. Their signature design language and proprietary technologies have become synonymous with high-end audio.

It's this relentless pursuit of perfection that lets Devialet promise "unprecedented intensity, clarity, and depth" in every note, a vision passionately championed by CEO Jacques Demont.

The Heart of the Phantom Ultimate: Proprietary Tech at Play

What truly sets the Phantom Ultimate apart? It’s the symphony of proprietary technologies humming beneath the surface:

• ADH® New Gen (Analog Digital Hybrid): This clever fusion marries the warm finesse of analog Class A amplification with the power and efficiency of digital Class D. The latest upgrades push frequency response as high as 35 kHz on the 108dB model, offering crisp highs and better thermal efficiency.
• SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): Think of this as the speaker’s DNA guardian, constantly adapting to preserve phase and amplitude, ensuring the purest reproduction without risking the hardware.
• HBI® (Heart Bass Implosion): Bass lovers, rejoice! This tech delivers bass down to a mind-blowing 14 Hz, so you not only hear but also feel the deepest low ends.
• AVL™ (Adaptive Volume Level): This smart feature keeps your listening experience consistent, adjusting volume dynamically whether you’re jamming to music, watching a film, or catching a podcast.

Under the hood, a new intelligent processor powered by the NXP i.MX 8M Nano platform elevates performance and efficiency, making the system smarter and more responsive.

Phantom Ultimate Collection: Redefining High-Resolution Audio

Let’s talk specifics:

• Phantom Ultimate 108 dB ($3,800): This model introduces a new generation of loudspeakers, protected by four freshly registered patents. It boasts a staggering frequency response from 14 Hz up to 35 kHz (+/- 6 dB), 1,100 watts of power, and redesigned drivers that bring refined bass control, zero midrange resonance, and crystal-clear highs. Plus, it features 32-bit/96 kHz processing, touch-sensitive controls, and future-proof connectivity with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.
• Phantom Ultimate 98 dB ($1,900): Compact yet mighty, this version covers 18 Hz to 25 kHz (+/- 6 dB) with 400 watts amplification. Its co-spherical wideband driver expands the soundstage for an enveloping audio experience.

Both speakers shine in flexible setups—go solo, stereo, or multi-room—and mesh beautifully with streaming platforms like AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready.

An Artistic Collaboration: Opéra de Paris Editions

Devialet’s flair isn’t confined to tech alone. Partnering with the Opéra national de Paris, they’ve introduced exclusive editions adorned with hand-applied 22-karat gold accents crafted by the distinguished Ateliers Gohard. It's a breathtaking blend of technology and art that honors French cultural heritage and supports artistic creation.

These special editions are priced at $4,300 for the 108dB and $2,400 for the 98dB models—luxury for both your ears and eyes.
