Devialet is known to like round shapes. The brand’s new portable Bluetooth speakers also demonstrate this very clearly.
Round shapes not only look good, they also offer practical benefits. As is the case with the Devialet Mania 360 degree sound all around. The ‘noiseballs’ have a battery that provides ten hours of play when fully charged. IPX4 makes it easy to take them up the trails and down the lanes. The maximum output is 176 Watts, enough to give luster to any garden party. Two push-push bass drivers take care of the bass, the rest is provided by four full-range aluminum drivers. The frequency range is from 30Hz to 20kHz.
Automatic adaptation to the listening environment
Another nice detail is that, thanks to four microphones and Active Stereo Calibration (ACS), the sound can be automatically adapted to the listening environment. Manage speakers by app, whereby Mania runs on the same operating system as the “big brothers (sisters)” Devialet Phantom and Dione. Charging is done via USB-C or an included charging pad. In addition to Bluetooth, Airplay 2 is also supported over WiFi, while Spotify Connect is also available. The standard version costs €790; a special version ‘Mania Opéra de Paris’ is also available for €990.
