Devialet takes Expert Pro the most advanced audiophile audio system to the next level
Eight years after the launch of its first compact high-end amplifier in 2010, Devialet continues to enhance the Expert Pro line-up. In order to continue to deliver an unmatched high-end audio experience, Devialet is pushing the Expert Pro experience even further with three major evolutions:
AXD®: the perfect match for the ultra high-end speaker
In its relentless quest to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles, Devialet announces AXD® (for Active Cross/X-over Design). This new technology is the result of an exclusive partnership with some of the world’s leading speaker manufacturers (YG Acoustics, Estelon, Vivid Audio and more to come) to design the shortest analog signal path between an audio source and speaker drivers, while limiting analog sections to a minimum.
To achieve this, AXD® combines the endless possibilities of Devialet Expert Pro DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with the crossover networks of carefully selected high-end speakers, to create a complete, perfectly optimized setup.
In short, AXD® is the only technology capable of extracting the best performance out of these extreme audio systems, delivering sound in its purest form.
