Maximizing Sound Quality: Devialet Speaker Placement Tips and Tricks

Can’t stop falling in love with your Devialet speakers? We understand! But what if we tell you that you enhance this whole experience just by changing the placement?

When it comes to achieving an immersive sound experience, the placement of your Devialet speaker is just as crucial as the cutting-edge technology inside it. You want to experience a sound where every note resonates with crystalline clarity, every beat pulses through your veins, and every whisper feels intimately close.

With that said, Devialet phantom speakers are designed to deliver an extraordinary audio experience - and with a little strategic placement, you unlock its full potential.

What’s In The Box?

Before we delve into its placement - you should know what lies inside the phantom Devialet box. 

Devialet phantom speakers are wireless devices that can operate independently without needing much - so both the setup and accessories are pretty minimal. They come with a power cord and a dedicated remote control for Phantom I models. This helps in easy volume adjustments in multiroom settings. 

Also, they send you a seperate packaging - where they include the Quick Start Guide, Safety Guide & a USB Type-A to micro-USB cable for charging the remote control.

Devialet Phantom speakers have many other accessories. They must, however, be purchased separately. Invest in a Devialet treepod if you want to stabilize your investment. It will be very helpful!
