The power to engineer your room
At Anthem, we like to take things one step further. Rather than just designing a processor, we want to engineer your room. With the most advanced implementation of our award-winning ARC: Genesis room correction, professional calibration of your system can be achieved with the click of a button while still offering advanced functionality to refine the sound to your personal taste.

Surfaces such as windows, furnishings, and the geometry of the walls, floor, and ceiling add unwanted resonance and coloration.
Anthem Room Correction measures each speaker’s output relative to the listening area, then through a series of calculations, adjusts its output. Not only does ARC correct peaks and dips in a speaker’s frequency response, but it also preserves the beneficial acoustic attributes of a room.

SMART Engineering
At Anthem, we have a straightforward goal – to design, engineer and manufacture audio/video products that deliver exceptional performance and convenience at a reasonable price. We do this by spending thousands of hours selecting and testing components, carefully designing our own circuit topologies, and backing them with robust power supplies that ensure maximum long-term quality and reliability.

Balance, in Perfect Harmony
It’s not about a single component, single feature or piece of software; it is about the totality of our design—everything working together in perfect harmony to deliver a performance that genuinely transcends the listening experience.

Flexible Streaming options to meet your needs
The AVM 90 includes a robust set of streaming options that can pull your music in from local storage or from the Internet. Thanks to Anthem’s high-speed processing and premium digital-to-analog conversion using high-end DACs, sound quality can be every bit as good as dropping a CD into a dedicated disc player.

At Anthem, our goal is to shape how you interact with your technology, so we went the extra mile to ensure no detail is overlooked while providing the utmost flexibility when it comes to device setup. Using a phone, tablet or laptop, owners can easily access any function or setting and make changes on the fly. Power the primary or secondary zone on and off, adjust volume, change audio modes, tweak channel trims and more, for a perfect surround sound experience. You’re in control, and it’s never been easier.
