There’s a certain kind of audio enthusiast who doesn’t want their speaker sitting on a stand in the middle of the room. They want it on the wall – clean, intentional, like it was always part of the architecture.
If that sounds like you, the Devialet GECKO for the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB was made with you specifically in mind.
It’s a wall mount, yes. But it’s a Devialet wall mount which means it was designed by the same people who built the speaker, fits the way only something purpose-built can, and looks so good on a wall that guests will stop and ask about it before they even ask about the music.
At ₹19,999 from The Den India, it’s also the most affordable official Devialet stand for the Phantom 98 dB family. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is the Devialet GECKO?
The GECKO is Devialet’s official wall mount accessory designed specifically for the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB speaker. It attaches directly to your wall and cradles the Phantom 98 dB securely – no floor space used, no stand in the middle of the room, no compromise on the speaker’s signature look.
The name is fitting. Like a gecko clinging to a wall with complete confidence, this mount holds your Phantom in place with a grip that doesn’t give even at the kind of volume levels the 98 dB is capable of producing.
It works with the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB and the Phantom II 98 dB range, making it one of the most versatile official accessories in the Devialet lineup.
📌 Quick note: The GECKO for Phantom 98 dB is a separate product from the GECKO for Phantom I (108 dB). Make sure you’re buying the right one for your speaker. The Den lists them separately; it’s easy to spot the difference.
Why Wall-Mount the Phantom 98 dB at All?
Before we get into the GECKO itself, let’s talk about why wall mounting the Phantom 98 dB is genuinely worth considering because it’s not just about saving floor space.
- It solves the placement problem The Phantom 98 dB is an omnidirectional speaker. It radiates sound in all directions, which means placement matters enormously. On a shelf or floor stand, the speaker has surfaces close to it that can affect how the sound reflects. On a wall, you control exactly where it sits and you can angle it precisely toward your listening position.
- It makes the speaker a design feature. The Phantom 98 dB is a beautiful object. When it’s on a wall, it reads like a sculpture, not a piece of electronics. The GECKO’s design enhances this. It presents the speaker at a slight angle, giving it a dynamic, intentional look rather than something just bolted to a surface.
- It genuinely frees up the room If you’re using the Phantom 98 dB in a bedroom, kitchen, study, or smaller living space, a floor stand can feel intrusive. The GECKO tucks everything up and out of the way. The speaker is there when you want it, invisible when you don’t think about it.
How Does the GECKO Look and Feel?
The honest answer is: exactly right.
Devialet didn’t design the GECKO as an afterthought. The mount is minimal deliberately so. It presents the Phantom 98 dB at a slight downward angle when mounted at height, which both looks intentional and directs the sound toward the room rather than at the ceiling.
The build quality is exactly what you’d expect from a French luxury audio brand. It feels solid in hand, looks precise on the wall, and disappears visually once the speaker is seated in it. All the attention goes to the Phantom itself.
It’s available in two colourways designed to complement the Phantom 98 dB’s Iconic White and Matte Black finishes. Once matched, the mount and speaker look like a single cohesive object.
💬 Pull Quote: “The GECKO doesn’t try to be seen. It just holds your Phantom exactly where it needs to be and gets out of the way.”
Key Features – What You’re Actually Getting
Purpose-Built for Phantom 98 dB This mount was designed specifically for the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB. Not adapted, not approximated built from the ground up to fit this exact speaker. The security and stability that comes from that is something no third-party mount can replicate.
Secure Locking Mechanism The Phantom 98 dB clicks into the GECKO with a proprietary locking system. It won’t shift, won’t tilt, and won’t come loose even when the speaker is running hard. That’s not something you can say about a foam-lined aftermarket bracket.
Optimal Listening Angle The GECKO mounts the speaker at a carefully considered angle not flat against the wall and not pointing straight out. The result is a dispersion pattern that fills the room the way Devialet intended.
Matched Colourways Available in finishes that match the Phantom 98 dB’s colour options. The mount and speaker look like one object when paired correctly.
Works in Any Room Bedroom, living room, kitchen, home office the GECKO works wherever you want your Phantom 98 dB. It’s compact, clean, and doesn’t require any special wall construction beyond standard fixing points.
Clean Installation The wall plate is designed to sit flush and neat. Once the speaker is mounted, there’s no visible clutter of brackets or bolts. Just the Phantom, on the wall, looking like it belongs there.

Who Is the GECKO Actually For?
Not everyone needs a wall mount. Here’s a straightforward way to think about whether the GECKO is right for your situation.
The GECKO is perfect if… You’re placing the Phantom 98 dB in a room where floor space is at a premium. You want the speaker to read as part of the room’s design rather than furniture sitting in it. You’re mounting the speaker in a kitchen, bedroom, or secondary listening space. You want to direct sound from a specific wall position toward a fixed seating area. You simply love the look of a speaker on a wall and want to do it properly.
You might want the LEGS or TREE instead if… You have the floor space and want the speaker to be a freestanding centrepiece. You’re building a dedicated listening room where positioning flexibility matters. You prefer the drama of a floor-standing setup.
Both are valid choices. The GECKO just happens to be the right one for a specific type of setup and when it’s right, it’s really right.
GECKO vs. Other Phantom 98 dB Stands
Here’s how the GECKO sits within the full range of official Devialet accessories for the Phantom 98 dB:
GECKO | Wall mount | Saves floor space, clean wall aesthetic | ₹19,999 LEGS | Floor tripod stand | Bold floor placement, room centrepiece | ₹27,000 TREE (Phantom II) | Floor stand with shelf | Warm wood-and-metal aesthetic | ₹29,999
The GECKO is the most affordable of the three and the only one that gets the speaker entirely off the floor. If your priority is clean, minimal, space-efficient placement it wins outright.
Real Questions People Ask Before Buying
Is the GECKO for Phantom 98 dB the same as the GECKO for Phantom I? No, these are two separate products. The GECKO for Phantom Ultimate 98 dB fits the 98 dB speaker family. The GECKO for Phantom I (108 dB) is a different mount entirely. Double-check before purchasing. The Den lists them separately, so it’s easy to pick the right one.
How difficult is it to install? Installation is straightforward for most walls. You’ll need to fix the wall plate to the wall using standard fixings similar to hanging a heavy picture frame. The speaker then seats into the mount securely. If you’re unsure about wall types (hollow, concrete, etc.) The Den team can advise.
Will it work on a concrete or brick wall? Yes, but you’ll need the appropriate wall anchors for hard walls. Standard masonry fixings work perfectly. For drywalled rooms, locate a stud or use appropriate hollow wall anchors rated for the weight.
Can I adjust the angle once it’s mounted? The GECKO’s angle is fixed by design; Devialet calculated the optimal tilt for room dispersion. It’s not an adjustable mount. If you need flexibility in speaker angle, a floor stand gives you more options.
How high on the wall should I mount it? Devialet recommends mounting the GECKO so the Phantom 98 dB sits roughly at ear level when you’re seated, typically between 90 cm and 120 cm from the floor, depending on your seating height. The Den team can help you figure out the right height for your specific room if needed.
Can I use this in an outdoor or semi-outdoor space? The GECKO and the Phantom 98 dB are designed for indoor use. Humidity, rain, and direct sunlight will damage both the speaker and the mount over time. For covered terraces or humidity-exposed spaces, check with Den on suitability.
I’m buying two Phantom 98 dBs for stereo. Do I need two GECKOs? Yes, the GECKO is sold per unit. A stereo pair means two mounts. Budget ₹39,998 for both, which is still a very clean total for a proper stereo wall installation.
The Bottom Line
The Devialet GECKO for the Phantom Ultimate 98 dB is one of those accessories that seems optional right up until you see it done properly and then it seems completely essential.
At ₹19,999 it’s the most affordable way to officially mount and display your Phantom 98 dB. It’s also the cleanest, the most secure, and the best-looking. There’s no third-party alternative that comes close to the fit and finish of something built by the same people who designed the speaker.
If your Phantom 98 dB is currently sitting on a shelf or a generic stand, the GECKO is the upgrade that will make you wonder why you waited.
📌 Also consider: The Devialet CARE – Phantom II (₹17,000) pairs well with any Phantom 98 dB setup for extended protection and total peace of mind on your investment.
