How to configurate my Devialet Amplifier?

At Devialet we've always considered our amplifier product range as a personalized product, in order to better fit our customer's need to enjoy music - from that perspective we built an online configurator at an ealier stage of our product's definition.

Of course, it is not mandatory doing a configuration, your Devialet amplifier can play without any configuration (it will then display a "Factory configuration" message when starting). On a Dual-Mono it's requiered, considering that both amplifiers needs to understand their chaining. This information is carried in the configuration.

With it you can customize almost everything with your Devialet Dpremier, Expert, Expert Pro or Devialet Astra.

If you need to access the configuration, then log yourself into devialet.com. Browse into your account, and select the "Amplifier Configurator" section.

Depending on the product you want to configurate, you may need to select a different configurator

For DPremier, Expert or Expert Pro - please select the "Configurateur Expert" and click on "CREATE A CONFIGURATION"

For these models, doing a configuration is not mandatory. Your Devialet amplifier can play without any configuration (it will then display a "Factory configuration" message when starting). However on a Dual-Mono it's requiered, considering that both amplifiers needs to understand their chaining, and this information is carried in the configuration.

For Devialet Astra - please select the "Advanced Configurator Devialet Astra" and click on "CREATE A CONFIGURATION"
