TWO-CHANNEL NIRVANA
The STR Integrated Amplifier includes
the newest generation of Anthem
Room Correction (ARC), optimized for
stereo performance. This proprietary
calibration tool, with its easy-to-use
interface, automatically shapes the
acoustic signature of your speakers for
the best possible sound quality in your
unique listening space. This is especially
important for the lower frequencies.
More Subwoofer Options
STR Integrated Amplifier gives you more
options for subwoofer configuration.
Use one subwoofer or two for both
channels, or two independent
right-and-left channel-specific
subwoofers. The bass management
in conjuction with ARC is uniquely
engineered for seamless subwoofer
blending, achieving an
incredibly accurate and
lifelike performance.
Premium Components
Clarity is maintained using
carefully selected components,
many of them engineered
exclusively in-house at Anthem.
We believe that two-channel
listening demands attention
to detail. A component must
balance extreme power and delicate
transparency, with flawless signal
integrity being the benchmark of stereo
performance. To that ultimate end,
the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier
is designed with the shortest possible
signal paths, and differential analog to
digital circuitry to cancel artifacts and
keep noise to a minimum.
The huge, precision-wound toroidal
transformer and the matching oversized
filter capacitors operate in harmony with
the high-current, high-output amplifier
section to produce an astounding
550W per channel continuously into 2
ohms! Peak production is effortless and
instantaneous, cinching even the most
challenging material. The use of multiple
bipolar output devices dramatically
reduces distortion while ensuring
extreme linearity, extensive bandwidth,
and stress-free reliability.
Moving Magnet and Moving Coil Phono
Anthem has also taken into
consideration the resurgent popularity of
vinyl records, and has included separate
inputs for moving magnet and moving
coil cartridges, with the phono section
completely shielded to maintain signal
purity. The transparency and refinement
of the STR Integrated Amplifier reveals
the hidden magic of classic media.
Innovative Electronics
No less important is Anthem’s
non-invasive Advanced
Load Monitoring (ALM)
circuitry, which
protects the
output
section
of the STR
Integrated
Amplifier by
constantly monitoring
temperature, current and
voltage to ensure optimum long-
term performance.
Other innovations include a high-
resolution pre-amplifier and digital
section, with support for asynchronous
USB up to 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD
2.8/5.6 MHz sources. And more.
Aside from its cutting-edge technology
and Anthem-exclusive innovations, one
look tells you that the STR is a different
amplifier animal altogether. The large
Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display on the
front panel gives you surprisingly easy
control through an easy to navigate setup
menu. It’s a part of the luxurious new
industrial design of the STR Integrated
Amplifier, a striking look that’s available in
two beautiful finishes, Black or Silver.
The Crafted in Canada Difference
The STR Integrated Amplifier is designed,
engineered and manufactured in Canada.
The STR Integrated Amplifier is the first
in a series of new premium STR products
by Anthem, the leader in audio power
and control.
