Most loudspeakers follow the conventional pattern of drive units in a wooden cabinet (either square or slightly curved), usually with a port to enhance bass, or just sometimes a sealed box ‘infinite baffle’ design with no port.
When French company Devialet launched the revolutionary all-in- one active Phantom ‘speaker in 2015 that pattern was discarded. Frankly, it looked like nothing that had gone before and even now nothing that has come since.
Shape-wise it resembled an elongated egg turned on its side. At the front was a snowflake-shaped grille which isn’t there just for decoration (more of which later).
At the sides were two bass drivers covered by round white covers. More interestingly the Phantom could be used as a single mono unit or paired with another to produce a stereo soundstage.
The only drawback was that this arrangement would set you back over £ – a not insignificant sum.
Since the launch of the original Phantom there’s been a slew of different models – Classic, Silver, Gold and even an Opera De Paris. But they’ve all remained the same size, differing mainly in power output.
Now, however, comes the Phantom Reactor – available in two models, the 600 and the 900 on review here. Measuring 16.8cm in height and 21.9cm deep it looks exactly like its larger brethren but is smaller and has less power. That said it still has 900 Watts of power on board – more than enough to fill a medium-sized room with sound and, with two paired together, capable of taking on even larger spaces.
That power comes from Devialet’sproprietary ADH (Analogue Digital Hybrid) technology where a small Class A amplifier is connected to the loudspeaker’s output while a parallel Class D stage provides the necessary grunt.
Some reviewers have compared the topology to Quad’s current dumping technology, devised by founder Peter Walker, but it’s rather more sophisticated than that.
Inside is a DAC capable of handling file sizes of up to 24bit/192kHz while connectivity includes UPnP Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect, plus digital optical and analogue inputs.
Although small the Phantom 900 weighs in at a hefty 4.3kg thanks to a glass fibre-filled polycarbonate interior, aluminium core and the stainless steel white exterior. Despite such build complexity it will fit in the palm of your hand so moving the Reactor around is easy.
At the top of the unit are touch controls for volume, pause and Bluetooth pairing but – as ever nowadays – there’s also a dedicated Devialet app for both iOS and Android to make things easier.
At the front – behind that attractively-shaped grille – is a full range driver that handles the mid to high frequencies. The grille is not just an aesthetic adornment – it’s been designed to disperse the sound as widely as possible so if just one Reactor is being used you get breadth of sound.
But it’s the bass response that really marks out the Phantom for such a relatively small loudspeaker. Devialet claim a low-end of 18Hz – something not many tracks actually contain (see our Measured Performance for the definitive figures).
Turn the volume up with anything containing low-end clout and their hemispherical side panels vibrate prodigiously. In fact on first use it can seem rather alarming, as though they are going to shake the whole ‘speaker apart. But walk over and put your hand on top of the unit and there’s no rattle or shake. It feels rock solid
