Anthem STR Integrated Stereo Amplifier
The Anthem STR integrated amplifier sets a new standard for high-end stereo amplification. This revolutionary component, designed and manufactured in Canada, combines the features of an advanced preamplifier, powerful amplifier, and state-of-the-art digital audio processor in a single easy-to-use device.
Impressive power for dynamic sound
With 2 x 200W into 8 Ω and the ability to deliver 400W into 4 Ω and even 550W into 2 ohms, the Anthem STR has a considerable power reserve. Its huge toroidal transformer and oversized capacitors allow it to effortlessly reproduce the full dynamics of the most demanding recordings.
The 8 bipolar transistors per channel and very low distortion levels ensure highly linear and perfectly transparent sound, even at high volumes. Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) technology continuously monitors current, voltage, and temperature for rock-solid reliability.
Comprehensive connectivity including high-resolution DAC and phono preamp
The Anthem STR incorporates a digital-to-analog converter capable of handling PCM streams up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD128 via its asynchronous USB input. The coaxial and optical S/PDIF inputs accept signals up to 24-bit/192kHz.
The analog section is equally comprehensive with 4 unbalanced RCA inputs, a balanced XLR input, and even separate phono inputs for MM and MC cartridges. Preamp outputs allow adding a power amplifier or subwoofer.
Automatic acoustic calibration for perfect adaptation to your room
Thanks to its exclusive Anthem Room Correction (ARC) system, the Anthem STR can analyze the acoustics of your listening room using the supplied measurement microphone. It can then apply very fine parametric correction to eliminate acoustic defects and optimize bass response. The bass management can handle up to two subwoofers, in mono or stereo. All functions are accessible via the color TFT screen on the front panel or the remote control.
