A powerful compact wireless speaker that delivers premium sound

With 77 patents, 1,527 engineered parts, a pressurised enclosure and the capacity to produce 3,000 Watts of zero-distortion, zero-background noise music, for an intense emotional experience, the Deviate Silver Phantom can perhaps be called the best wireless speaker in the market.
The Phantom is engineered to output tones from 16 Hz to 25 KHz, with crispness in its high tones and depth in its bass, which would typically require a 20 times larger speaker.
Designed to be a multi room system, you can connect up to 24 Silver Phantom units to bring the house down. Devialet recommends that you use a Dialog router for the ultimate party setup. The Dialog router creates a robust network by combining 3 dual-band Wi-Fi connections, a 1Gbps Ethernet, and Power Line Communication of the latest generation. The Speakers connect over WiFi and you will need to use the Spark application from Devialet to operate and manage these.
The Spark application lets you use your Phantom as a standalone music system or grouped in pairs as a classical stereo installation or a scalable multichannel music system with three or more Phantom units. You can also do a live grouping that allows you to play different music in each room or fill the house with the same music for a big party.
The Phantom emits ultra-dense sound with a physical impact that has never been felt in a size like this. The sound is exceptionally pure, thanks to the ADH Intelligence (Analog Digital Hybrid) and SAM (Speaker Active Matching) technologies.
The Silver Phantom is not a portable speaker, weighing 10.5 Kg. The weight comes more or less from its aluminium core that allows it to produce high-volume sound while remaining stationary. Devialet also has a Phantom unit, which is slightly cheaper at £1,990, and has a peak output of 750 Watts.
