ANTHEM AVM 90 8K

The Anthem AVM 90 represents the pinnacle of audio-video excellence, embodying power, precision, and versatility in a single A/V processor. Every component and detail of its design has been carefully studied and refined, resulting in a device unlike any other, capable of delivering an audio-visual experience that exceeds all expectations. The processor integrates the latest version of the ARC Genesis room correction system, accompanied by a redesigned and more precise calibration microphone, and allows full control of settings via smartphone, tablet, or computer, making system setup and optimization fast and intuitive. Every parameter, from the volume of the main or secondary zones to input selection, audio modes, and individual channel adjustments, can be modified in real time to ensure complete control over the listening experience.

The 8K HDMI 2.1 platform with eARC support manages seven dedicated 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz inputs and three dedicated outputs, delivering exceptionally sharp 8K video from all source devices. Compatibility with HDR10+, ALLM, and VRR ensures dynamic and faithful images, while support for the latest object-based audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, and IMAX Enhanced, allows playback of up to 19 audio channels, bringing the home surround experience to professional levels for both films and immersive gaming.

The AVM 90 processor optimizes room acoustics through the advanced implementation of ARC Genesis, measuring each speaker’s output relative to the listening area and correcting peaks and dips in frequency response while preserving the room’s natural acoustic characteristics. Proprietary DSP processing works together with the calibrated microphone to deliver consistent, precise, and detailed sound, with deep bass and crystal-clear highs.

The build quality reflects the decades of experience of the Anthem/Paradigm team: robust power supplies, carefully selected components, and internally designed circuit topologies ensure high performance and long-term reliability. The processor also offers a wide range of streaming options, compatible with Apple AirPlay and AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, and soon Roon, allowing music playback from local devices or online services with the same quality as a dedicated CD player.

Integration is straightforward and complete thanks to IP and RS232 control support, ensuring compatibility with automation systems and third-party devices. Supporting up to 15 speakers and four subwoofers, the AVM 90 enables advanced configurations for immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experiences, offering maximum flexibility in expanding a home theater. The Anthem AVM 90 thus becomes the beating heart of any premium media room or home theater, combining cutting-edge technology, total control, and exceptional audio-video performance.
