Devialet is returning to CEDIA Expo for the first time in five years as the French audio manufacturer expands its presence in the custom integration channel.
In an interview with CE Pro, Rodrigo Arrambide, GM Americas at Devialet, said the company will showcase its Phantom Ultimate Custom lineup, including a CI-focused version incorporating Dante and Audio-over-IP capabilities. The updates are designed to address feedback from integrators and make the distinctive Phantom platform easier to deploy in professional projects.
Devialet sees opportunities for the platform across luxury residential, hospitality and commercial environments. The company recently deployed 15 Phantom Ultimate 108 speakers in a Manhattan restaurant, illustrating how the same recognizable product can move from a homeowner’s personal listening environment into professionally integrated spaces.
The addition of Dante is particularly important to Devialet’s CI strategy. Because Phantom is an active speaker with amplification and electronics built in, Dante connectivity gives integrators greater flexibility when deploying and routing audio across larger systems. Devialet says that approach combines the performance and design of its consumer Phantom products with the reliability and ease of integration professionals expect.
That strategy also extends into home theater. Phantom systems can be configured with up to nine speakers, with Dante-enabled AVRs routing individual channels to each speaker for immersive cinema applications.
Devialet is also investing in its U.S. infrastructure, including an East Coast distribution center, local rep firms, account managers, training materials and domestic support as it works to expand its integrator network.
CEDIA Expo 2026 attendees can see Devialet at Booth #1146.
