Anthem AVM 90 8K Flagship 15.4-Channel A/V Processor
Our Ultimate Expression of Performance
The Anthem AVM 90 8K is the culmination of everything Anthem knows about sound, a flagship A/V processor engineered without compromise to deliver a listening experience so vivid and breathtakingly clear that it redefines what is possible in a home theatre. Every component and circuit has been carefully chosen and meticulously engineered with a single purpose in mind: to bring the listener closer to the music and films they love with unmatched clarity, depth, and emotion. From the oversized toroidal power supply to the hand-selected ESS Sabre 32-bit/768kHz DACs, the dual-core 1.6GHz DSP with floating 64-bit dual precision processing, and four dedicated subwoofer outputs, the AVM 90 8K is not merely a product. It is a masterwork, and a statement of performance that sets the benchmark for what a home theatre experience can and should be.
ARC Genesis: The Room is No Longer an Obstacle
Powered by the latest version of Anthem’s award-winning ARC Genesis room correction, the AVM 90 8K uses a precision microphone and advanced algorithms to solve, rather than merely mask, the acoustic problems inherent in any real listening environment. ARC Genesis optimises frequency response with scientific precision, revealing every detail of the audio signal exactly as the content creators intended. Four storable correction profiles provide unmatched customisation and control, allowing the AVM 90 8K to be optimised for different listener positions, seating configurations, or room conditions, ensuring every seat in the room benefits from exceptional acoustic performance.
15.4-Channel Processing and Object-Based Audio
The AVM 90 8K supports up to 15.4 channels of processing with a maximum speaker configuration of 9.4.6 and four dedicated subwoofer outputs, accommodating the most ambitious and immersive home theatre layouts achievable today. Full support for Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Music, Dolby Surround, DTS HD Master, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X, DTS Virtual:X, and IMAX Enhanced ensures that every object-based audio format is decoded and rendered with the surgical spatial accuracy and three-dimensional precision these formats demand. AnthemLogic-Music and AnthemLogic-Cinema processing modes further enhance the listening experience for both music and cinema content, and high-resolution audio playback supports FLAC, ALAC, WAV, and DSD formats from local storage or networked sources.
Advanced 8K HDMI 2.1 Platform
The AVM 90 8K is built on a high-performance 8K HDMI 2.1 platform with HDCP 2.3, featuring seven dedicated 8K inputs and three outputs with eARC support. Full 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT) provide a robust and professionally engineered foundation for both cinematic and gaming applications. HDR support encompasses HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, and Dynamic HDR, ensuring a bit-perfect and visually optimised transmission of every frame from every connected source device.
Hand-Selected ESS Sabre DACs and Comprehensive Streaming
The AVM 90 8K’s hand-selected ESS Sabre 32-bit/768kHz DACs deliver every digital signal with precise fidelity through a dual-core 1.6GHz DSP with floating 64-bit dual precision processing, ensuring a dynamic, detailed, and genuinely pure listening experience from every source. Streaming capability is equally comprehensive, with Apple AirPlay, Google Chromecast Audio, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth all supported for wireless audio delivery from any compatible device. The web-based user interface provides effortless system control from any phone, tablet, or laptop on the network, and the Anthem Remote App delivers complete Wi-Fi command from the palm of the hand.
Mastery of Integration and Control
The AVM 90 8K’s advanced IP control capabilities provide seamless compatibility with Savant, Control4, RTI, URC, Crestron, and ELAN, ensuring the processor integrates into any professionally installed control system with complete authority. A Moving Magnet phono input, four analogue inputs, comprehensive digital inputs, and 15.4-channel pre-amplifier outputs complete the connectivity specification. The aluminium chassis with machined aluminium faceplate and 6-inch TFT front display reflect the engineering integrity within, and the 4U rackmount kit option accommodates professional rack installation for the most demanding custom installation environments.
