Devialet’s « next revolution » upcoming? (Christmas 2022)

[Austinforest]

Hi,
I have not read about it here but Franck Lebouchard, Devialet’s President and CEO has hinted to next « Devialet’s revolution » in a month and a half on September 22nd, 2022, here on Europe 1 (around 10 minutes): https://www.europe1.fr/emissions/la-fran...on-4135970

Might be today's Phantom theatre announcement (although I'm not sure that's revolutionary...the Devialet marketing team never shy away from using dramatic terms!)

[Austinforest]

Neither the most affordable.
Seems dedicated to professional though, so maybe we’re in for a real surprise.
Thinking about it, headphones would make sense.

So the first clue I see and a date: November 7th.

Rippling over the skin. Leaving an imprint on your emotions. Witness the metamorphosis.

That is so Devialet... metamorphosis? from what? to what? for the life of me, I just don't get their advertising/marketing strategy. Nov 7th isn't far off and the idea of headphones just might make sense.

[Austinforest]

I agree. Senseless luxury commercial communication. Why not? As long as the products work and sound good...
Well, that made me think of speaker’s fabric… so maybe we are in for a smaller phantom?
See you on Monday!

Teasing email in my mailbox. Marked as SPAM as always with Devialet though…
The (not working) URL reads « DiabloTeasing » so maybe Diablo is the product name or internal name.

Last week I received in my inbox the Phantom Theater for Professional installation. Might be this?

The picture looks like a 360 degree ambient speaker like beosound

That bluetooth speaker thing for everybody

A true mobile high-end speaker is something missing in Devialet's portfolio to my understanding.
I would expect not only Bluetooth 5.0 but Airplay 2 as well. A high protection class, at least IPx4, against dust and water would make sense.
