Devialet has announced the arrival of its newest product, Devialet Gemini, the company’s first true wireless earbuds.
Devialet Gemini feature Devialet Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology, and protected by three new patents PBA® (Pressure Balance Architecture), IDC® (Internal Delay Compensation), and EAM® (Ear Active Matching)
Active Noise Cancellation
Devialet Gemini’s Pressure Balance Architecture (PBA®) features cascading decompression chambers inside the product ensure the ideal inner pressure, at all times, without impairing noise attenuation, while each chamber is coated with a custom acoustic mesh to stop external noise from entering the system.
Two separate microphones in each earbud enhance the signal and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) while one dedicated microphone in each earbud enhances voice transmission, and high excursion 10mm Devialet drivers offer sensitivity and low distortion for better audio rendering.
Franck Lebouchard, Devialet’s CEO, says: “At Devialet, we create extraordinary products that deliver an unprecedented sound experience. We’ve pursued our goal of redefining the place of sound in people’s lives through our amplifiers and speakers, and Devialet Gemini – our first portable product – brings us closer to our goal. We’ve embraced the challenge of bringing our audio expertise and cutting-edge technologies to the true wireless earphone space, and are excited at the prospect of reaching a wider audience than ever with our products.”
Devialet Gemini’s custom Internal Delay Compensation (IDC®) algorithm compensates for the internal delay generated by a noise cancellation loop, resulting in a significant gain in noise cancellation, especially at higher frequencies.
ANC modes continually remove background noise – from invasive outside distraction to unwanted bass or treble frequencies – and gives you the space you need to focus on what you’re doing, whether it’s listening, working, or talking. Transparency modes give you the option to hear the environment around you while simultaneously listening to your favourite music. Those modes offer a complete hear-through experience, with both microphones working in sync to efficiently transmit external sound.
With 3 levels of ANC and 2 levels of transparency, and using specific digital filters, Devialet Gemini can deliver the sound experience you want at the touch of a button, whether you’d like to enjoy fully-immersive sound, or to hear the world around you.
Ear Active Matching
Developed by Devialet’s acoustic engineers, Devialet Gemini’s new proprietary Ear Active Matching (EAM®) algorithm delivers enhanced signal transmission by adjusting audio signal frequency ranges in real-time, intelligently adapting Gemini’s sound for an optimal listening experience.
EAM® algorithm measures the shape of the listener’s ear as well as the position of the earphones inside the ear canal, tailoring the signal up to 10,000 times per second to instantly adapt its equalisation, enhancing bass restitution and audio performance.
Devialet Gemini earbuds have been carefully and ergonomically designed to fit every ear shape. The earbuds can determine which tips are best suited to you in just five seconds via the app, scanning your ears to find the perfect fit to ensure optimal playback and minimise acoustic leakage. With four separate flexible earbud options (XS, S, M, L), there’s an adaptable fit to suit every listener.
A dedicated Devialet Gemini app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, combines ease-of-use with expert features for tailored sound. Users can further personalise their sound using a 6-band equalizer, while an all-in-one touch button with capacitive sensors placed at the surface of the earbuds controls everything from music playback to noise cancelling modes and voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant) support.
Devialet Design
Devialet’s products are known for their design innovation. Carefully balancing form with function, the nomadic Devialet Gemini’s refined and compact design echoes the precision of the technologies inside in a distinctive, sleek, matte black design.
Visually linked to Devialet’s iconic Phantom series of all-in-one speakers, Devialet Gemini mirrors the signature design of Phantom’s side panels and the speaker’s shape
Devialet Gemini’s jewel box has soft textured surfacing and a slider that reveals the earbuds with a touch.
