Signature Performance, Compact Form

At the heart of the Phantom Ultimate 98dB Opera De Paris is its ability to deliver extraordinary sound in a remarkably compact form. Featuring Devialet’s latest-generation Analog Digital Hybrid (ADH®) amplification, the speaker reproduces music with breathtaking accuracy, free from distortion, saturation, or background noise.

With 32-bit / 96 kHz audio processing and a frequency response from 18 Hz to 25 kHz, it renders every detail, from delicate high notes to resonant basslines, with precision and depth. Whether enjoying a classical symphony, a live jazz session, or a modern electronic set, listeners will be fully immersed in an experience that transcends traditional audio playback. The Opera De Paris edition ensures both artistry and technology are felt with every performance.

Iconic Design with French Craftsmanship

The design of the Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98dB Opera De Paris celebrates French heritage and modern craftsmanship. Its iconic spherical form remains central, optimizing sound diffusion while creating a sculptural presence in any room. The special Opera De Paris edition stands apart with its Moon Gold gilded side plates, applied by hand using centuries-old techniques at Ateliers Gohard.

These artisans are renowned for restoring the gilded treasures of French landmarks, including the Palais Garnier itself. Surrounding the gold plates, a low-gloss matte white finish brings contemporary depth to the body. Together, these details transform the speaker into both an acoustic marvel and a timeless decorative piece, perfectly blending luxury, culture, and innovation.
