The Round Mound of Sound: Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98dB Wireless Powered Speaker Combines Emotional Playback and Compact Form, Features Patented Technologies and Excellent Connectivity 

Cutting-edge sophistication, head-turning looks, and compact dimensions don't get much better in wireless powered speakers than what's touted in the Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98dB model. An evolution of a groundbreaking design first released in 2015, this 6.6 x 6.2 x 8.6-inch (HWD) is true to its “alive with sound” tagline in every regard. Aside from its larger 108dB sibling, there is nothing else on the market quite like this unobtrusive 9.5-pound orb.

Prepared to deliver sound-pressure levels up to 98dB and span a frequency range of 18Hz-25kHz, the French-made Phantom Ultimate 98dB uses one full-range aluminum dome driver and a pair of aluminum dome woofers to play music with genuinely intoxicating levels of precision, clarity, impact, and fullness. Distortion? You won’t hear it. Noise? Forget it.

Classy, streamlined, and bound to be a conversation-starter, Phantom Ultimate 98dB offers seamless integration with AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon, Spotify, TIDAL, and UpnP. Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 protocols enhance the robust connectivity and provide extremely low latency, excellent stability, and multi-device streaming options. 

But the real secrets to this speaker's prowess reside with Devialet's integration of in-house-developed and proven devices and technologies. An NXP iMX8 processor, the Devialet DOS3 operating system, 400 watts of total amplification power, and trademarked Devialet Analog Digital Hybrid technology serve as the foundation. Phantom Ultimate 98dB also features trademarked Heart Bass Implosion (HBI) that offers infra-bass in this model down to 25Hz — amazing given the speaker’s dimensions. Speaker Active Matching (SAM) software that adapts in real time to transient and steady-state signals for hyper-accurate phase and amplitude, as well as Adaptive Volume Level (AVL) — which uses real-time dynamic equalization to supply smooth, balanced sound that captures every detail — further prove why Phantom Ultimate 98dB orbits in another galaxy.

Controllable via the Devialet app, optional remote control, and a tactile interface with four touch sensors and a status LED, Phantom Ultimate 98dB is fine-tunable with Bass Reducer, Loudness, and the aforementioned AVL. Plus, the app includes a six-band equalizer and three dedicated modes (Music, Movie, Podcast) that mean you’ll dial-in everything just as you prefer. 

Sold with a two-year manufacturer warranty, Phantom Ultimate 98dB automatically pairs with other Phantom Ultimate 98dB units to give you stereo or multichannel sound. Its ultra-matte-painted body and mirror-polished side panels will look fantastic in any room, and its performance will continually delight you and any guests.

Devialet Technology
Living inside Devialet Phantom Ultimate, core Devialet innovations attest to fearless acoustic engineering. Protected by over 200 patents, they continuously challenge the possibilities of sound reproduction, delivering pure, physical audio — with zero distortion, saturation, or background noise. Each technology — foundational or newly invented —drives the Devialet Phantom legacy forward.

ADH
A true breakthrough in high-end amplification. The cornerstone of Devialet’s engineering legacy, latest-generation ADH (Analog Digital Hybrid) technology seamlessly fuses the refinement of analog with the power and compactness of digital, delivering breathtaking clarity up to 35 kHz.

HBI
Originally developed for Devialet Phantom, HBI (Heart Bass Implosion) technology reaches deeper into infra-bass — down to 14 Hz in an ultra-compact speaker environment. Built to perform under extreme pressure, two lateral woofers thrust together in an airtight architecture. The result: sound so physical, it moves you.

SAM
Fidelity — taken to the extreme. SAM (Speaker Active Matching) software achieves absolute fidelity without compromising the speaker’s unique characteristics. Adapting in real time to both transient and steady-state signals, SAM enables Devialet Phantom Ultimate to reproduce phase and amplitude with stunning precision.

AVL
Adaptive Volume Level (AVL) technology automatically adjusts volume in real time to suit the content being played — ensuring smooth listening experiences. AVL brings cinematic-standard sound to Devialet Phantom Ultimate. From whispered dialogue to explosive action, don't miss a single beat.
