Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue: limited edition under the sign of Formula 1

One year after the release of its latest generation, the French flagship of acoustic engineering unveils Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue. This special edition, embodied by brand ambassador Isack Hadjar (Formula 1 driver for the Oracle Red Bull Racing team), adopts a new vibrant finish. The aim is to evoke the state of absolute intensity and total concentration that precedes athletic performance, while reaffirming the technological excellence of the original speaker.

 

 

Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue, a visual tribute to speed and intensity The Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue retains its oblong silhouette, but its side flanges have been completely redesigned. The designers opted for a glossy mirror finish (Ral 5003), contrasting with the speaker body coated in an ultra-matte midnight blue paint (Ral 5011) enhanced with a transparent varnish that reacts to light. Like the concentration that reigns in a cockpit, this strong visual identity embodies the moment of truth: a state of maximum alertness and absolute precision.

 

 

Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue, proprietary technologies and acoustic performance Beneath this aesthetic, the speaker strictly retains the proprietary technologies that have made the French brand’s reputation, driven by the DOS 3 operating system (for Devialet Operating System 3). It features ADH hybrid amplification (Analog Digital Hybrid) delivering 400 W, SAM algorithmic optimization, and the HBI acoustic architecture for bass down to 18 hertz. Everything can be controlled via the Devialet app (integrating a 6-band equalizer) and is meant to be compatible with the main streaming protocols: (AirPlay, Chromecast (integrated), Roon Ready, Spotify Connect).

 

 

Available for pre-order since September 15, 2026 in all Devialet stores, on devialet.com and from authorized retailers. Indicative price: 1,700 euros. Note that this edition comes with a dedicated and coordinated floor stand, sold separately, the Tree Devialet Phantom Ultimate 98 dB Pulse Blue, priced at 219 euros.
