About the Partnership
National Sawdust is proud to launch its third season with a new partnership with internationally celebrated audio technology company Devialet. Devialet will equip NS with high-quality audio-streaming capabilities, enabling live transmission of all 2017-18 National Sawdust concerts to owners of Devialet Phantom speakers worldwide. Also including the creation of a co-branded Devialet Phantom speaker, inspired by the venue’s stunning angular interior.
Hailed for its company mission to democratize the high-end audio experience, Devialet is a natural partner to continue National Sawdust’s efforts to increase the accessibility of its high-end concert experience.
“Enabling discovery of great artistic experiences is the core of the National Sawdust mission. Our concerts offer an unparalleled acoustic experience, and I’m thrilled to partner with Devialet to extend National Sawdust’s reach beyond our concert hall without compromising an inch of sound quality. Today is a vital milestone in bringing music discovery to audiophiles and music lovers around the world.”
