The Devialet Dione has a great stereo frequency response. It comes with a room correction feature, which automatically optimizes audio reproduction based on your room's unique acoustics. With it on, the bar has a bass-heavy sound profile that adds plenty of rumble to the mix. Vocals and lead instruments are still quite clear, though, thanks to the balanced mid and treble ranges. As a result, the bar's suitable for listening to most types of audio content, from vocal-centric TV shows to bass-heavy music genres. We tested the bar with it placed on two stands to mimic its performance when mounted on a wall; however, given that the sound was more clear and pleasant compared to when we placed the bar on the table. You can see the frequency response comparisons for bar in different positions here.
Note: Stereo content plays properly when the bar is set to its 'Music' preset. However, if you set it to 'Movie', it upmixes stereo content into 5.1.2 to play it (Devialet calls this their SPACE Technology). The resulting sound is more muddy, so vocals and lead instruments aren't as clear in the mix. The same issue is evident whether you place the Devialet Dione on your table or you mount it to your wall. It's not the best choice for listening to stereo content like music, but it does offer a more cinematic sound with movies.
