Verdict

The Devialet Dione is a high-end, all-in-one 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar featuring 17 autonomous neodymium drivers—including 9 full-range aluminium drivers and 8 long-throw subwoofers—delivering 950W RMS of power and a deep frequency response of 24Hz to 21kHz. Its primary characteristics include the patented 'ORB' rotating center channel that adapts to both shelf and wall-mounted orientations, and 'SPACE' technology that upscales stereo signals into immersive surround sound. Main pros include its exceptional build quality, massive 101 dB SPL output that eliminates the need for an external subwoofer, and diverse connectivity via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.0, and AirPlay 2. Common cons involve its high premium price, the lack of DTS:X support, and the absence of a dedicated physical remote in the standard package.
