Devialet delivers music with the sound clarity you'd expect of a world leader. The brand has quickly become a reference point for sound quality with the high end Expert amplifier range and Phantom range of wireless connected speakers.
Devialet, formed in 2007, was led to worldwide success by the trio of engineer Pierre-Emmanuel Calmel, visionary entrepreneur Quentin Sannié and designer Emmanuel Nardin. In 2015, Devialet launched Phantom, a wireless speaker recognised by industry specialists as revolutionary in audio technology and widely regarded as the top-connected active speaker on the market.
Devialet’s proprietary and revolutionary ADH technology has transformed amplification forever, enabling a highly effective matching of digital and analog designs for emission of the perfect sound - a more powerful, more distinct and more immersive sound, with no distortion whatsoever. Take the Devialet Phantom test, and play the Phantom’s loud and you will not hear the drivers distort!
ADH is considered one of the most significant audio developments the industry has witnessed in the past 40 years, and it why Devialet was formed. In addition, SAM (Speaker Active Matching) is Devialet’s second technological revolution allowing Devialet systems to be adaptable, so whatever loudspeaker the system has, the amplifier can a adapt the signal as a function of the frequency response of the loudspeakers, an important feature of Devialet’s Expert range.
Additionally, Devialet's "Heart Bass Implosion" technology has been designed specifically for the Phantom range. HBI enables your speaker to operate at a level above ‘normal’ by transmitting ultra-dense audio thanks to lateral beats beneath super high pressure.
At present, the Phantom and Expert ranges have been awarded more 60 times and are over 100 individual patents protecting them. From the groundbreaking design of Experts and Phantom to the artistic ballet of their robotic production lines, Devialet see art as adding meaning to technology.
Phantom Reactor personifies the progress Devialet constantly strives for. This non-stop labour to enhance and compress Devialet technologies means they are now able to offer this in the most compact format achievable.
Devialet aims to provide the world with great products, technology and experience; to be the greatest company the audio industry has ever known. The mission is to make Devialet technology universal.
The name Devialet name is derived from Sieur de Vialet, a fellow of the philosophers Diderot and D’Alembert, who believed that technology with science, contributes to the overall happiness of humanity. The collective goal is what unites and pushes them past limits that are currently possible.
When you purchase a Devialet product, in addition to owning the best-connected speaker in the world, you also have reassurance of free future upgrades via the EVO Platform. When setting up, the Phantoms will continue to upgrade themselves for free, so its internal connections evolve, and continually improve. We have all Devialet Phantom models on demo in our hi-fi showroom, so you can take the Devialet test and be sonically amazed.
We have a range of closed back design headphones, which offer impressive isolation and passive noise attenuation thanks to the nature of their design keeping the majority of your music in, and most external noise out. These are ideal for personal use, noisy environments and commuting.
Alternatively, open-back headphones are favoured by many due to their spacious and open sound profile, which comes about due to the open nature of their design. Open back headphones are primarily recommended for home use as the open design means sound is leaked, and so they are preferable in quiet environments.
With the popularity of portable music devices, the selection of earphones available has increased dramatically. We offer a range of earphones ranging from budget models designed to offer an improvement over standard giveaway earphones to high-end earphones designed to offer the performance of high-end headphones in a compact and portable package. Many earphones are of the in-ear variety – slotting into the ear canal, and offering excellent isolation and passive noise attenuation, enabling you to listen at quieter volumes and also use your earphones in noisy environments.
We also stock a range of headphone amplifiers, which offer dramatic improvements over the majority of standard headphone amplifiers featured in devices, computers or amplifiers. These amplifiers are designed specifically for use with headphones, and are unrivalled for detail, soundstage and precision when compared to similarly priced integrated solutions. We also stock a range of headphones accessories, ranging from headphones stands to spare earpads and headbands.
