Dolby announces that the new Devialet Dione all-in-one 5.1.2 soundbar incorporates Dolby Atmos technology. Spectators can thus benefit from all the experience offered by Dolby Atmos in this new concentrate of technology.
Dolby announces that Devialet, an innovative and internationally renowned French company renowned for its passion for sound and excellence, is adopting Dolby Atmos immersive sound technology for the very first time. Dolby Atmos has established itself as a must-have for audio on the market today and collaborates with the biggest brands in Audio and Video.
In particular, there are many “first collaborations” with new brands that have recently adopted Dolby Atmos for the first time: Sonos, Bose and now Devialet with its new Dione soundbar, not to mention Samsung with the first Dolby Atmos televisions.
Dolby Atmos thus stands out as a reference technology and a major advance in the processing of cinema and TV soundtracks, music and gaming by adding a vertical dimension to the sound field and by introducing the concept of audio object, by more than traditional 5.1 or 7.1 channels.
Devialet Dione initial review: Sounds as good as it looks
Devialet manufactures high-end audio devices; we’ve been extremely impressed with the Devialet Phantom in the past, the company’s Bluetooth speaker.
Devialet is known for its creative design and excellent performance and this French company is now turning its sights to home cinema, with the launch of its first soundbar, the Devialet Dione.
Design and build
- Anodized aluminum, acoustic fabric
- 1200x77x165mm, 12kg
- Surface or wall mounting
Much of what the Dione represents is a new approach to design. Soundbars by nature aren’t the most interesting thing, and there’s not much you can do with a black rectangle. We’ve seen soundbars that are round, hexagonal, the ubiquitous oval – and some that try to slim it down to make the soundbar less noticeable.
Devialet, however, is all about statement design. In some ways, it reminds us of the approach Sonos took with its Playbar, offering something that could either sit flat or be wall-mounted in its rectangular design.
Devialet Dione: the soundbar of the French genius explodes a record
THE SOUNDBAR DEVIALET DIONE WANTS TO ESOLATE AS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Devialet’s ambition is clear, distinct and precise: to make each of their products the best in their respective markets. In the soundbar sector, competition is already fierce.
LG, Samsung, JBL, Bose, Sony, Philips, Sennheiser… some big names already have years of experience in the field. Better, these industry giants already have reference models.
If we ended our little listing of brands by Sennheiser, it’s not for nothing. The Dutch manufacturer currently has the model widely considered to be the best on the market, or at least the most prestigious. Connoisseurs have understood it, we are talking here about the famous Ambeo Soundbar.
Dione: Devialet launches a soundbar with 17 speakers
Devialet no longer has to prove its expertise in the field of sound, but is looking for new areas to reach a wider audience.
We had already seen the brand establish various partnerships to make itself more accessible: with the operator Free to offer a speaker dedicated to the Freebox Delta, or even more broadly with Huawei over various connected speakers, the latest of which, the Sound Joy, wants to be nomadic and particularly powerful.
With Dione, Devialet is entering the highly competitive TV soundbar market, but not only… Because the whole point of having a high quality soundbar also lies in its ability to replace other systems. of his…
This is the whole objective of Dione: to offer quality spatial sound during the projection of films or series, but also to act as a multimedia speaker.
The Dione thus supports the latest Dolby Armos 5.12 standard. It embeds SPACE technology which allows you to start from a 2.0 stereo signal in order to convert it into a 5.1.2 audio signal.
Beneath its air of a simple sound bar, the Dione actually hides no less than 17 drivers including, excuse me, 8 subwoofers for bass capable of reaching 24 Hz. Devialet thus promises that its sound bar does not need subwoofer and will deliver deeper, better bass than most 1+1 kits on the market.
As with the majority of Devialet products, the Dione will have its own spatial calibration system: the bar will send sounds via its various speakers and retrieve them via microphones to represent the room in 3D and thus automatically adapt the management of its various drivers for a better spatialization of the sound.
To make it more versatile, Dione is also compatible with different wireless connection protocols such as Bluetooth, Airplay 2 or Spotify Connect.

DEVIALET, AT THE HELM OF A NEW UNIVERSE?
DEVIALET SET THE BAR HIGH
With the advent of flat screens leaving little room for a sound system worthy of the name, the soundbar quickly entered the living room.
The teams of Devialet naturally seized on this enthusiasm and thus offer us their vision of Home Cinema.
Seducing moviegoers in addition to audiophiles is very smart but could seem risky in an already very coveted market.
But Devialet relies on its expertise and know-how to offer us this Dionean all-in-one Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 soundbar.
It carries no less than 17 speakers including 8 subwoofers, all supported by all the engineering Devialet for a total amplification power of 950 Watts RMS. She adopts in passing the sense of aesthetics dear to the brand. Rather thin (88mm for 1.20m wide), it will take pride of place on your TV stand without ostentation.
Thanks to its 8 high-excursion subwoofers, exit the large subwoofer. Dione will distill deep, powerful, realistic and skillfully measured bass.
It is equipped with a CEC-compatible HDMI 2.1 eARC/ARC connector that can stream multiple channels of audio without bandwidth limitations or compression.
