- SAM® (Speaker Active Matching): Access Devialet’s online database to download a custom mathematical profile tailored precisely to your specific speaker brand and model, delivering tighter bass and total driver protection.
- Bespoke RAM® Phono Stage: Perfect for vinyl lovers. The Record Active Matching stage allows you to configure exact resistance and capacitance parameters on the fly to perfectly suit your MM or MC cartridge.
Visual & Premium Appeal
