Re-Engineering Audio

The audio world has always been about size. How is Devialet able to reverse the trend?

There are some truths and some myths about audio and size. Actually, we are told to accept the limitations of a given state of technology: “Class A amps are the best performing, and they are very large, therefore a good amp has to be large…”

But Devialet is a high tech company specializing in breakthrough innovation, applying it to the audio domain. Our engineers have more than 100 key patents in all fields of sound reproduction; the common denominator being that they’re about pushing the limits of how pure sound is reproduced, in a way that is highly energy efficient.

So what did that translate to?

The key issue to consider when miniaturizing a speaker is the reproduction of deep bass.

Put simply: you need a large driver with a high excursion in order to move air and produce low frequencies in a loud way. However, a small box restricts how much the large driver can move. These rules are derived from the laws of physics, and at this stage we haven’t changed them.
