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.
