Devialet Astra: When sound becomes emotion in a monolithic work of art

"...The latest breakthrough in sound innovation from Devialet, the Devialet Astra, was officially launched in Thailand on 27 February 2025 at Devialet by Deco 2000, EmQuartier..."

Fifteen years after the debut of the D-Premier and with 250 patents to its name, this French audio engineering powerhouse has crafted something far beyond an ordinary amplifier, a bridge between silence and the purest emotions of music. "Sound is the key to emotion" is Devialet’s guiding philosophy, striving to deliver sound in a way that is as tangible as a live performance, not merely heard, but deeply felt in every nuance.

The compact form of the Devialet Astra is encased within a sleek, polished aluminium monolith, exuding an air of minimalism yet profound mystery. Inspired by Art Deco design, Astra is not just a device but a living piece of art within your home.

"Devialet Astra places Devialet at the forefront, offering the purest sound and inspiring the entire industry. It's a feat that showcases our know-how and expertise in creating an ever more precise and refined listening experience. Our ability to reproduce sound in infinite detail brings true and vibrant emotions to life."

Jacques Demont, Devialet Chief Executive Officer

The brilliance of Astra is not merely in its design but also in the cutting-edge technology within. Featuring the latest generation of ADH® (Analog Digital Hybrid) technology, it seamlessly merges the refined linearity of Class A analogue amplification with the sheer power of Class D digital amplification, producing an output of 2x300 watts in solo mode or an impressive 2x600 watts in a dual configuration.

Yet, the true excellence of Astra lies not only in its power but in its exquisite precision. With SAM® (Speaker Active Matching) technology, Astra optimises the audio signal to match the unique characteristics of each speaker with pinpoint accuracy, drawing from a database of over 1,200 speaker profiles. This is complemented by RAM® (Record Active Matching) technology, which dynamically adjusts the EQ, allowing the phono stage to be freely configured to accommodate different turntables and vinyl records with remarkable individuality. Additionally, the Devialet DOS3 operating system ensures seamless connectivity with AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, Tidal, and UPnP, alongside WiFi 6 and Bluetooth® 5.3, delivering an unparalleled streaming experience with remarkable stability.

For those who appreciate avant-garde design, Devialet also offers the Opéra National de Paris edition, featuring a 23-carat gold leaf finish meticulously applied by master gilders from Les Ateliers Gohard. This exceptional piece is the result of Devialet’s long-standing collaboration with Opéra de Paris, embodying the union of culture and cutting-edge technology.

Experience the Devialet Astra firsthand at Devialet by Deco 2000, available at EmQuartier, The Emporium, ICONSIAM, and Central Chidlom.
