Devialet Chat

For those are waiting for their speakers to be SAMed, just follow Devialet on twitter, they tweet whenever they SAM a new speaker model.

They have not tweeted about Focal Electra 1038 that I found out today that they got SAM:ed. Just started to play with the new config, sounds promising

just had my speakers SAM'd by the Devialet team in Paris. Painless experience, shipped by UPS Monday evening, should be back here tomorrow, new SAM profile is already on the website.....

well done Devialet

Nice to hear that, I waited for my Focals to get SAM:ed since I got my first 200 in October 2014 but yesterday I saw that they got the profile online

Does anyone know what the v8 by certain speakers stands for in the configurator?  Obviously version 8 of the firmware, but does that mean they have been remeasured?  Are speakers without the v8 not getting the full potential of SAM v2?

I got a reply from Devialet.

v8 apparently means the speakers profile only works on v8 of the firmware. SAM profiles will be updated for v8 as Devialet's "SAM Matrix is evolving".

So now I have something else to look forward to, the v8 showing up beside my Focal 1028BEs.

Wow at this point I am just totally confused! So my Sasha 2 speakers have no v8 next to them however SAM seems to work? 

Right, better fire off an email to Devialet!

I am also confused! My Wilson-Benesch ACT1's also do not have v8 next to them but SAM works!

I was under the impression that speakers with v8 against them needed version 8 firmware to be installed for SAM to work, but those speakers without v8 against them worked with all firmware versions - well certainly fw 7 & 8. I may of course be wrong.

Hopefully Devialet can clarify. Will await any feedback from Guillaume.

You are correct.  But the question is why some speakers that worked on fw 7 now have a v8 beside them?  Did something need to be fixed for them to work properly with SAM v2?  Or are they redoing SAM profiles to take the full potential of SAM v2 in v8?

Or maybe I'm wrong and the speakers with v8 are all newly SAMed speakers? Anyone have speakers that worked on 7 but now have a v8 beside them?
