Quote:“We optimized the design to bring it to the highest possible level of performance,” says Bilgore. “This is probably the first time that anyone had put 21 of these Phantom speakers inside a single house, and then treated them like a distributed audio system. So, the speakers in three of the rooms are paired with video, and there are 10 zones of audio in total. One of the zones is full surround-sound.”
Sensorium AVR creatively used the optical-only mode in the Phantom speakers that allows for complete third-party control without any internal software taking over any of the functions.
“It becomes a basic, pure chain of a speaker that has an internal amp, and an optical-input digital converter all-in-one,” remarks Bilgore. “So, you feed it optical, and whatever you feed it will come out on the other side as music. You’re no longer using Devialet or iPad controls. You have to use some other digital means of controlling volume, and getting sound optically into the speaker.”
