Devialet Dione Initial Review: It sounds good enough March 31, 2022by Martin 6 Devialet makes premium audio devices; Devialet Phantom impressed us in the past, the company's Bluetooth speaker. Devialet is known for creative design and excellent performance, and the French company is now turning its sights on home cinema with the launch of its first sound, the Devialet Dione. We sat down with the new sound to get some first impressions before starting work. Design and construction Anodized aluminum, acoustic fabric 1200 x 77 x 165 mm, 12 kg Surface or wall mounting Much of what Dione represents is a new design. Soundbars aren't the most attractive things by nature, and there's only so much you can do with a black rectangle.
We've seen round, hexagonal, oval soundbars everywhere, and C Level Executive List some are trying to shrink it down to make the panel sound less noticeable. But Devialet is all about statement design. In some ways, it reminds us of the approach that Sonos took with the Playbar , offering something that can sit flat or within a rectangular design that can be mounted on the wall. devialet dion The Devialet Dione is substantial, weighing 12 kg because of the anodized aluminum core. This gives it the power to make those powerful speakers work without distortion from the build. At the center of the Dione there is a detail that distinguishes it - a wave on the surface to accommodate the spherical Orb.
This is where the center channel speaker is located, and it can be rotated so that whether you place the Dion on the floor or lay it flat against a wall, that center channel can fire straight at the listener. The soundbar is wrapped in acoustic fabric and has touch controls on it so you can control the speaker while standing next to it. devialet dion An interesting thing is that these offices have fixed signs. When on a flat surface with the orb forward, this means that these controls make sense with lower volume closer to the front and higher to the rear. When you plug the Dione into the wall, the Orb is designed at the top, so the soundbar essentially flips over, meaning these volume controls are a bit more logical, with volume on the bottom and volume up - not your top and bottom settings. was expected. First impressions of this soundbar are really strong in terms of design.
