For almost twenty years, Devialet has been on a mission to transform the way we experience sound. Now, the Paris-based audio innovator unveils the Phantom Ultimate collection, a striking evolution of its iconic Phantom line first introduced in 2015. More than just an update, this release redefines what a luxury speaker can be: an extraordinary fusion of cutting-edge engineering and sculptural design that looks as stunning as it sounds.
Since 2007, Devialet’s engineers and designers have been rethinking everything we thought we knew about sound. With over 250 patents in fields ranging from acoustic engineering to signal processing, the company has built a reputation for doing things differently. The result is speakers that make you feel the music. CEO Jacques Demont sums it up perfectly: “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 Phantom Ultimate collection features two models:
• Phantom Ultimate 108dB ($3,800): The flagship powerhouse.
• Phantom Ultimate 98dB ($1,900): A compact marvel with a remarkable size-to-performance ratio.
Both are available in two sophisticated finishes: Deep Forest, a rich green accented with black chrome, and Light Pearl, an elegant ultra-matte off-white. For those who crave something truly decadent, the Opéra de Paris edition adds hand-applied 22-karat gold gilding by master artisans at Ateliers Gohard, the same workshop responsible for restoring the Palais Garnier.
What makes Phantom Ultimate more than just a pretty face is the technology humming beneath the surface. Devialet has packed it with proprietary innovations that audiophiles will swoon over:
- ADH® New Gen: Analog warmth meets digital muscle, reaching highs of 35 kHz on the 108dB.
- SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): Real-time adaptation ensures flawless fidelity.
- HBI® (Heart Bass Implosion): Delivers infra-bass that drops as low as 14 Hz – bass you feel in your chest.
- AVL™ (Adaptive Volume Level): Smarts borrowed from Devialet’s Dione soundbar, adjusting sound for cinematic perfection.
- Next-Gen Processor: A powerful SoC ensures flawless performance and efficiency.
Together, they make music sound startlingly real, like you’re hearing it for the first time.

Phantom Ultimate 108dB
With 1,100 watts of amplification power, a frequency range from 14 Hz to 35 kHz, and four intuitive touch controls, the 108dB is a no-compromise beast. Thanks to its redesigned drivers and cutting-edge DOS3 software, it offers effortless precision, rich lows, and crisp highs.
It also comes with next-gen connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect.
Phantom Ultimate 98dB
Smaller in size but no less impressive, the 98dB packs 400 watts of amplification and a range from 18 Hz to 25 kHz. Its co-spherical wideband driver expands the soundstage, creating a surprisingly spacious listening experience. Whether solo, stereo, or multi-room, it’s designed to adapt beautifully to your lifestyle.
Devialet’s ongoing collaboration with the Opéra national de Paris is more than a design flourish. By choosing the Opéra de Paris edition, buyers are also helping fund one of France’s most prestigious cultural institutions.
The Phantom Ultimate is as versatile as it is powerful. Whether you’re streaming a favorite playlist, diving into a podcast, or hosting movie night, the Devialet App adapts the sound experience to fit the moment. And with continuous software updates, the speakers evolve right along with you.
The Phantom Ultimate 98dB ($1,900) is available now, while the flagship 108dB ($3,800) can be pre-ordered through Devialet boutiques, premium audio retailers, and online.
