FROM REVOLUTION TO REFERENCE. Phantom embodies the vision we’ve been working towards: elevating sound to its rightful place in our lives, providing audiences around the world with a uniquely intricate and moving listening experience. Phantom has been revolutionizing the speaker game since its release, and has gone on to become a reference for acoustic excellence. By combining a series of radical patented technologies, Phantom consistently shatters expectations, at every step of the sound reproduction chain. Zero distortion, zero saturation, zero background noise.

DEVIALET INTELLIGENCE PROCESSOR. Phantom includes our powerful Devialet Intelligent Processor which helps deliver improved sound quality. Phantom's signal processing and amplification performance (ADH®, SAM®, Magic Wire, Class A, DAC) is embedded in a SoC (system on a chip), which was custom designed for optimal integration. The results? Enhanced heat dissipation for optimal performance at any volume, better energy efficiency, and barely measurable distortion, saturation, or noise.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. ADH®, or Analog Digital Hybrid, is Devialet's signature patented technology since 2004. In a truly groundbreaking feat, an analog amplifier teams up with four digital amplifiers. Working in parallel, the analog amplifier reproduces an unspoiled signal and sends it to the digital amplifiers, which are able to translate it digitally. In other words, ADH® combines the sophistication of analog with the power and miniaturization of digital for the first time. It has been called revolutionary. We're happy with "the best of both worlds."

WELCOME TO THE DEEP END. Developed exclusively for Phantom, HBI®, or Heart Bass Implosion, lets you feel infrabass frequencies —all the way down to 14Hz. Engineered to perform under extreme constraints, Phantom’s hermetically sealed architecture consists of two lateral woofers. When cued, they begin to dance in sync, creating opposing forces that cancel out even the slightest vibrations and generate ultra-dense sound, the kind your bones perceive before your ears. That's why you feel immersed in Phantom: because you are, from head to toe.

AS THE ARTIST INTENDED. SAM®, or Speaker Active Matching, is a software algorithm designed to deliver extreme fidelity throughout playback while protecting your speaker. Whether you are dealing with transient or steady-state signals, SAM® is able to process more information than previously thought possible. This enables Phantom to reproduce the exact tempo of your music, at all frequencies. All of it, with absolute precision. So that you can experience every last emotion, just as the artist intended.

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN DESIGN. Phantom's elegant curves are guided by acoustics over design. Inspired by Harry Ferdinand Olson's pulsating sphere principle, Phantom's ACE, or Active Cospherical Engine, radically optimizes the way sound waves form and travel. Instead of projecting in the classic 180° arc like traditional box speakers, Phantom achieves a 360° sound stage, emitting evenly and in all directions for perfectly balanced sound and zero surface diffraction. Whatever the listening angle.

ADAPTS WELL TO CHANGE. Our EVO® platform, or Evolutive Platform, gives your Phantom the ability to auto-update, or even auto-upgrade, through the app—no additional cabling or cumbersome processes to follow. RIP, planned obsolescence.

THE DEVIALET AESTHETIC. When it comes to aesthetics and engineering, we are purists. Extreme simplicity is a complex process, but we thrive in a good challenge. So we started at the beginning, at Phantom’s purpose: to deliver sound in its purest form. In crafting Phantom’s overall look, we focused on function and an obsessive attention to detail. Some call it French savoir-faire and art de vivre. We view this as honoring craftsmanship and pleasure equally. Beyond its iconic spherical shape, Phantom also offers a range of colors, materials, and finishes that can stand out or blend in. You now have every excuse to treat yourself to the music you love.

INSTANT CONNECTION. Whether you’re used to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, optical or analog, Phantom's open architecture lets you get straight to the music you love. 

• AirPlay 2®: Apple users can enjoy an additional layer of control over their Phantom with AirPlay 2®. Create a custom multiroom set-up by directly streaming audio from the control device (iPhone or iPad) to numerous AirPlay 2®-connected speakers, including Phantom. 
• Spotify Connect: Spotify users can stream their favorite playlists on their favorite speaker with the help of Spotify Connect. All that's needed? The app and a Wi-Fi connection. 
• Roon Ready: In addition to UPnP and the analog/optical input, Phantom owners are able to enjoy 24-bit-sample-rate music using Roon's streaming protocol. Phantom connects to Roon seamlessly, without any configuration steps, allowing users to enjoy perfect hi-res sound with ease.
• UPnP: With Universal Plug and Play, or UPnP, users can switch to a third-party application to play music hosted on their local networks. In other words, with the help of a UPnP controller application, Phantom is able to communicate with an external hard drive.

YOUR MUSIC, WHERE YOU WANT IT. Sync your entire home in symphony or stream something different in every room thanks to your Devialet App. With Multiroom, there are now even more ways to play:

• Multi-Zone Play lets you group any Phantoms and feel the sound sing throughout your space 
• Single-Zone Play lets you mix and match your Phantoms in a single space for a next-level sound experience. 
• Individual Play lets you have jazz playing in the kitchen while a podcast is being devoured on the couch. And everyone can control their own volume and manage zones right from the Devialet App. 

Note: For iOS customers, Phantom gives you the option to also enjoy a multiroom set up throughAirplay 2®.

EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS. The only thing better than one Phantom? Two. In stereo, Phantom's soundstage expands even further and listening takes on a new dimension as the speakers dance in absolute synchronicity. More extreme, more powerful, more exhilarating. It is an unthinkably immersive experience. When combined, Phantoms become the most compact high-end stereo system on the market. Hint: stand in the middle and you'll feel like you're center stage. Really. Choosing a pair of Phantom speakers unleashes up to 3 more dBs combined, which may sound modest but effectively translates into doubling Phantom's volume and subsequent impact.

HIGH-RES. Phantom now combines industry-leading sound engineering with more high-resolution capabilities in order to deliver exceptional listening experiences to the many. Along with UPnP and the analog/optical input, Phantom is also Roon Ready, giving all Phantom users ways to enjoy 24-Bit Hi-Res audio like never before.

THE DEVIALET APP: YOUR SOUND, YOUR WAY. Power this unreasonable requires some control. Set up your Phantom, finetune your settings, and stay up to date, all via the Devialet App. An intuitive companion, the app lets you customize your Phantom experience: setting up your Phantom, adjusting latency for A/V, activating Standby Mode, or customizing bass for Night Mode.
