Recently, Devialet introduced its first mobile speaker in the Vietnamese market named Mania. Mania is the first intelligent Hi-Fi portable speaker with Adaptive Cross-Stereo technology.
Devialet Mania inherits its design from its predecessor, Devialet Phantom. The speaker boasts a spherical design crafted from high-quality woven fabric. Devialet Mania is meticulously designed in two colors, black and gray, to seamlessly blend with the surroundings, whether indoors or outdoors.
Standing at a mere 170mm height and weighing only 2.3kg, the speaker features a comfortable handle for easy portability. The handle includes control buttons such as power, Bluetooth connection, volume adjustment, and track navigation.
At the bottom is the contact area for the wireless charging dock, which comes included with the Opéra Paris edition. For the regular version, users will need to make an additional purchase. As per the provided information, the battery is removable but primarily for repair purposes, and only the manufacturer can detach the battery.
Additionally, the Mania product line offers a special edition in collaboration with the Opéra Paris theater. This unique edition features a layer of 24-carat moongold, providing a premium exterior. Moreover, the speaker grille showcases the inscription of Opéra National De Paris instead of the Devialet brand on the regular version.
Devialet Mania supports dual-band WiFi connectivity through Airplay 2 and Spotify Connect protocols. The speaker accommodates connections from 3-6 speakers simultaneously, depending on the surrounding environmental conditions. Additionally, the product also supports Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.
Devialet Mania shares the Devialet app with the Phantom and Dione product lines. Through this app, users can utilize functions such as adjusting listening modes, managing connections, updating software versions, and customizing EQ settings.
Equipped with 4 full-range speakers and 2 push-push configured subwoofers supported by SAM (Speaker Active Matching), Devialet Mania delivers dynamic stereo sound, reaching depths down to 30Hz and treble up to 20,000Hz.
In addition to the 6-speaker system, the product boasts a range of advanced technologies, with the most notable being ASC (Active Stereo Calibration) technology. This technology utilizes 4 microphones and integrates intelligent processing capabilities, allowing Devialet Mania to automatically adjust sound playback according to the surrounding environment.
When placing Devialet Mania in the center of the room, the 360° stereo sound mode is automatically activated. When positioned near a wall, the 2 full-range speakers at the back work to enhance the output of the 2 front speakers, creating a wide and powerful sound field for an unparalleled mobile audio experience.
Mania is currently the only product on the market offering both stereo sound and real-time acoustic mapping. It combines echo-cancellation architecture and cross-stereo design.
The sound quality of Devialet Mania is praised as it provides a wide soundstage, detailed instrumentals, powerful yet deep bass. Despite its compact size, it boasts substantial power; just one speaker is enough to fill a cafe-sized space of around 100-150m².
Devialet Mania has IPX4 water resistance, allowing users to confidently take the speaker anywhere. Alongside this is a 3200mAh battery offering up to 10 hours of usage. The product supports standard USB-C PD charging.
Devialet Mania is now available for pre-order with a retail price ranging from 23,990,000VND to 31,990,000VND. The product will be updated on Devialet's website and official Devialet dealers in Vietnam. This portable speaker is targeted at a high-end user demographic, reflected in its pricing.
Considering what the speaker delivers, this price range is entirely appropriate. However, for most average users, the cost may seem a bit high for a portable speaker. Yet, for those who understand the value of the speaker, it is a highly worthwhile product.
