From the Devialet Press Release:
Devialet Mania’s first line of exclusive edition Seasonal Colours will be this summer’s most sought-after collector’s item
Paris, June 6th 2023 – Devialet today reveals Seasonal Colour Exclusive Editions of Devialet Mania, the company’s portable smart speaker that delivers adaptive 360° sound, anytime, anywhere.
COLOURS OF SOUND
While on the surface, sound and color don’t seem to have much in common, they are intrinsically linked in the world of acoustics. The color of sound, also known as the “noise spectrum,” refers to how much energy flows at different sound frequencies. Dedicated to delivering transformative sound in unique packages, Devialet took inspiration from this concept to develop Seasonal Colors Exclusive Editions for a truly emotive listening experience.
The subtle hue of Sunset Rose is inspired by the energy transition felt at the end of the day as the sky changes colours, while Sandstorm is an ode to the untamed beauty of mineral landscapes, where time feels suspended and imagination runs wild. Both colours echo Devialet Mania’s dazzling stereo sound through thoughtful, luxury design.
MASTERS IN METAMORPHOSIS
With the added burst of colour, the exclusive editions feature the industry-leading proprietary technologies embedded in Devialet Mania, delivering the same expansive 360° sound, for a state-of-the-art listening experience in a compact, portable form.
ASC (Active Stereo Calibration) uses four microphones and embedded intelligence capabilities to allow Devialet Mania to automatically adapt the audio rendering to suit its surroundings. When Devialet Mania is placed in the centre of a room, 360° stereo mode is automatically activated. If positioned near a wall, two full-range speakers at the rear kick into gear to seamlessly reinforce the two speakers at the front, creating a wide and powerful soundstage for unrivalled, on-the-go listening.
With four full-range drivers and two SAM®-powered sub-woofers (Speaker Active Matching) in a push-push configuration, Devialet Mania delivers powerful stereo sound at frequencies as low as 30Hz and as high as 20,000 Hz, demonstrating yet another triumph in audio innovation by the company’s team of expert engineers.
360° SOUND, 100% FREEDOM
Like to travel in style? Alongside the new and exclusive Seasonal Colours, Devialet is launching Devialet Mania Cocoon, a custom-design sleeve that seamlessly moulds to fit the portable smart speaker, guaranteeing total protection on the move. You can even personalise as you go, with Devialet Mania Cocoon offering both a woven logo shoulder strap and rubber handle for a sleek portable experience.
MUSIC TO FIT THE MOOD
Each Seasonal Colour has inspired a musical playlist that reflects the poetry of the colours of sound. For Sunset Rose, Devialet has crafted Pink Noise, which, sounding like a waterfall, is not only often used to tune loudspeaker systems in professional audio, but is one of the most commonly observed signals in biological systems. Like a steady rain, wind rustling through trees, or waves on a beach, Pink Noise will provide the perfect chillout playlist for a truly relaxing experience.
For Sandstorm, Brownian noise decreases in intensity by 6 dB per octave (20 dB per decade), and, when heard, has a “damped” or “soft” quality compared to white and pink noise. Presenting a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall, Brownian noise provides Mania with pure tranquility.
To level up your Seasonal Colour experience, listen to the playlists now available on streaming platforms Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz – turn up and zone out.
Devialet Mania Seasonal Colours Exclusive Editions in Sunset Rose and Sandstorm retail at £790 and Devialet Mania Cocoon at £89. These newest and most exclusive additions to Devialet’s range of audiophile products are available to buy today from Harrods, Selfridges and Devialet’s own website and stores.
