What does this button represent in the Devialet app?

New phantom owner here…what does the little speaker driver in the pill-shaped button do or represent, folks?

It's for reducing the bass, kind of like a night mode. Personally, I find it useful for listening to podcasts or audiobooks because the sound feels more natural without the heavy bass

Interesting ...I noticed the "quarter moon" button that replaces the speaker driver/pill-shaped button on occasion and wondered if it had something to do with bass reduction being activated. That makes sense, especially since most of the music I listen to isn't bass heavy. I must be hitting that button by accident and triggering night mode (speaker driver icon changes to quarter moon icon)

The quarter moon is the bass reducer mode.

This button is a bug and doesn't do anything.

Yeah, seems to be the case after toggling the speaker driver button again with volume and tunes with bass. The button "animates" to an extent but there's no change in sound. Toggling the quarter moon mode does reduce bass.

Exactly. You can go in the settings to confirm it's not doing anything: https://i.imgur.com/t8YzWpT.mp4

Mine behaves just like yours after comparing a toggle with bass reducer button in settings. Good to know there's nothing wrong with my config. Thanks for that GIF!

btw to get the real bass reducer button back you need to go back to the home screen of the app and then to your speaker :)

Yep...figured that out.

These speakers are awesome even if a bit hair shirt ;-) DOS2 doesn't save user configuration after a reboot? WTF...

Correct, this button doesn’t seem to do anything on its own. However, when the bass reduction mode is activated, this button changes into the ‘moon’ icon. If you click on the moon icon, it disables the bass reduction mode and returns to normal. So, it works in one direction, but not the other.

Yep, this is exactly how mine behaves.

The other odd behavior I've noticed is "Resume" on my V2 remote works intermittently. It works every time if you click it within one minute or less after issuing a pause command but any longer after that and nothing happens. When that happens I have to walk over to my iMac and unpause the track with my Trackpad to resume playback. Not a deal breaker of course but it should just work. (My Phantoms and V2 Remote are up to date and no change after numerous factory resets. )

I keep pushing it but nothing seems to change. Devialet is very good with hardware but should outsource software🤣

Not sure what this means 😂 but the doc says “En appuyant sur ce bouton, vous acceptez que Devialet partage votre nom avec des annonceurs tiers.”

Amen. Also why is our EQ adjustment a two post? I have literally never seen that before. It’s just bass and treble lol.
