Devialet Phantom II is a model that builds upon the success of the original Devialet Phantom, but in a more compact form factor (formerly known as the Phantom Reactor). Despite its smaller size, its sonic performance is not reduced. The 98dB version delivers a maximum output power of 400 watts RMS and features Devialet’s signature technologies, including Analog Digital Hybrid (ADH), which combines the strengths of analog and digital amplification to achieve the most complete and refined sound. Speaker Active Matching (SAM) processes audio to deliver maximum sound quality with accuracy that stays true to the original source, while Heart Bass Implosion (HBI) enables the Phantom series to produce exceptionally deep and powerful bass that is difficult to match. In addition, it supports both wired and wireless connectivity options such as Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, and optical input.
