Devialet, the French audio powerhouse known for pushing the limits of sound, has finally brought its latest creation—the Phantom Ultimate—to Malaysia. Following its global reveal, the launch marks a new milestone in the brand’s pursuit of audio perfection, promising an experience where radical design meets cutting-edge technology.
To celebrate its arrival, Devialet hosted an exclusive showcase in Kuala Lumpur, where selected guests experienced the speaker’s signature sound and striking design up close.
Phantom Ultimate Ushers In A New Era Of Sound
First introduced in 2015, the original Devialet Phantom redefined what a speaker could be, backed by years of research and 88 patents. A decade later, the brand unveils the Phantom Ultimate, crafted in Paris with Devialet’s signature blend of radical design and engineering mastery. What truly sets it apart is the sound—rich, immersive, and powerful enough to make music feel alive, revealing every detail with crystal-clear depth and turning any track into a full-body experience.
“With Phantom Ultimate, we’re pushing sound to a whole new level—more intense, clear, and alive than ever before. It’s a true reflection of our engineering expertise and ambition,” said Jacques Demont, CEO of Devialet.
Sound, Design, and Craftsmanship in Harmony
For Devialet, sound has always been more than just something you hear—it’s something you feel. The Phantom Ultimate captures that philosophy by reproducing every beat, note, and voice with breathtaking clarity and depth, transforming music into an experience that’s vivid and alive. Backed by over 15 years of innovation and more than 250 patents, it represents the brand’s relentless pursuit of audio perfection.
But the Phantom Ultimate isn’t only about sound—it’s also a design statement. Building on the iconic silhouette of the original Phantom, the new generation has been refined with seamless lines, a reimagined grille, and finishes that stand out in any space. Whether it’s the dark, organic tones of Deep Forest or the soft ultra-matte glow of Light Pearl, the Phantom Ultimate balances bold aesthetics with world-class performance.
Bringing all of this together is a meticulous production process rooted in precision craftsmanship. At La Manufacture Devialet in Paris, every speaker is shaped through a mix of advanced robotics and artisan expertise, ensuring flawless quality from start to finish. Even repairs and restorations are handled with the same care, so each Phantom Ultimate continues to perform like the day it was created.
Innovation At The Core
The Phantom Ultimate is powered by Devialet’s signature technologies, the same breakthroughs that have made the brand a global leader in high-end audio.
Each one plays a part in creating sound that feels more alive, precise, and immersive than ever:
- ADH® Hybrid Amplification: Fuses the warmth of analogue with the power of digital for flawless amplification.
- SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): Adapts in real time to protect the speaker while ensuring absolute fidelity.
- HBI® (Heart Bass Implosion): Delivers ultra-low frequencies down to 14 Hz, so the bass is something you feel as much as you hear.
- AVL™ (Adaptive Volume Level): Automatically balances volume depending on what you’re listening to, from movies to music.
At its core, a new intelligent processor boosts precision, efficiency, and performance. Combined with Devialet’s innovations, it lets the Phantom Ultimate deliver everything from delicate highs to powerful bass with clear, impactful sound.
Redefining The Listening Experience
With the Phantom Ultimate, Devialet has reimagined how users connect with sound. Powered by the latest Devialet OS (DOS3), it runs on a new system that makes everything seamless and personalised, with support for multiple streaming platforms—including AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and UPnP—so it fits easily into any setup, whether you’re queuing playlists, casting podcasts, or streaming cinema sound.
Taking it further, the redesigned Devialet App becomes the ultimate control hub. It offers tailored modes such as Music, Podcast, and Cinema, each optimised for a different listening style, plus a six-band equaliser and features like Bass Reducer and Loudness for more control, the app provides direct updates so the Phantom Ultimate keeps improving and the listening experience stays smooth and powerful.
Phantom Ultimate In Two Powerful Editions
The new Phantom Ultimate comes in two editions, both built for stunning sound. The flagship 108 dB model delivers powerful, distortion-free audio with deep bass and crisp highs, powered by 1,100W of amplification and advanced streaming features like Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. For a smaller but equally refined option, the 98 dB model packs 400W of power with a wide sound range, offering clear, balanced performance in a sleek, compact design.
Both editions can be used solo, paired in stereo, or as part of a multi-room setup with AirPlay, Google Cast, or Roon Ready. Available in three finishes—Deep Forest, Light Pearl, and the exclusive Opéra de Paris edition—the Phantom Ultimate is as bold in design as it is powerful in performance.
Where Technology Meets Artistry
Through its ongoing partnership with the Opéra national de Paris, Devialet introduces the Phantom Ultimate | Opéra de Paris edition—a rare meeting of cutting-edge audio and timeless craftsmanship. The side panels are hand-gilded in 22-carat gold by the artisans of Ateliers Gohard, the same workshop that restored the Palais Garnier. More than just a design statement, this collaboration honours France’s cultural heritage while supporting artistic creation at one of its most prestigious institutions.
But artistry is only half the story—the sound itself is what makes the Phantom Ultimate truly alive. In stereo, it places instruments and vocals across a wide, immersive soundstage, giving listeners the sensation of a live performance. With newfound depth, impact, and finesse, the Phantom Ultimate transforms every track into an experience that feels as breathtaking as it is real.
The Devialet Phantom Ultimate starts at RM8,090 for the 98 dB model and RM17,990 for the 108 dB. The exclusive Opéra de Paris editions are priced at RM9,990 and RM20,990. Available now at the Devialet Store in Pavilion KL, authorised retailers, and online.
