Anthem AVM 90 8K

Reference 15.4-Channel Processing Meets State-of-the-Art Digital Engineering

Inspiration drawn from uncompromising cinematic engineering meets ultra-modern multi-channel audio innovation. The Anthem AVM 90 8K is Anthem’s flagship reference A/V preamplifier-processor, designed to serve as the brain of elite home theater setups and high-end dedicated cinema rooms.

Housed in a sleek, two-tone chassis featuring a high-resolution front display and minimalist tactile controls, the AVM 90 pairs refined Canadian craftsmanship with Anthem's most advanced digital processing architecture.

Engineering Marvel: Unprecedented Signal Purity, Subterranean Bass

Don't let its ultra-clean exterior deceive you. Under the hood, the AVM 90 utilizes premium 32-Bit / 768 kHz ESS Sabre DACs across all channels, driven by a 1.6 GHz Dual-Core DSP engine operating with 64-bit floating-point precision. Processing up to 19 discrete channels (15.4 configuration), it drives up to four independent subwoofers with complete spatial authority and zero signal degradation.

Key Performance & Technological Innovations:

15.4 Channel Discrete Processing: Native support for 15 speaker channels and 4 independent subwoofer outputs (up to 9.4.6 spatial layouts) handling Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X® Pro, and IMAX® Enhanced formats.

32-Bit / 768 kHz ESS Sabre DAC Architecture: Audiophile-grade digital-to-analog conversion on every channel ensuring pristine signal fidelity and dynamic range.

ARC® Genesis Room Correction: Advanced room acoustic calibration powered by a high-precision calibrated microphone, managing frequency response, phase, and time alignment for all 19 channels.

Advanced 8K HDMI 2.1 Platform: Features 7 dedicated HDMI 2.1 inputs and 3 HDMI outputs (with eARC) supporting 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz pass-through, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, VRR, and ALLM.

Platform-Agnostic High-Res Streaming: Integrated support for Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth for seamless high-resolution network streaming.

Web-Based UI Management: Granular control over setup, ARC profiles, virtual inputs, and zone settings accessible instantly via tablet, phone, or laptop.
