Anthem AVM 90 8K Audio Video Processor
Overview
The Anthem AVM 90 8K is Anthem's flagship audio-video processor, built for home theaters where the processor itself needs to match the ambition of everything connected to it. Like the rest of the AVM Series, it carries no amplification on board, leaving that job to dedicated power amplifiers while the AVM 90 focuses entirely on processing and control.
Reference-grade ESS Sabre DACs and a 1.6GHz dual-core DSP with 64-bit dual precision handle 15.4 channels of processing, while ARC Genesis room correction stretches to four independently calibrated subwoofers instead of two. Seven 8K-ready HDMI inputs and three outputs keep the video side just as capable as the audio.
Control runs through the same Anthem Web User Interface and Remote App as the rest of the lineup, with direct integration for Control4, Crestron, Savant, RTI, and ELAN when the system is professionally installed.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
We point clients toward the AVM 90 when the room and the speaker count justify it: four independently calibrated subwoofer outputs and 19 discrete pre-amplifier outputs make it the better fit for large, acoustically complex spaces than the AVM 70. It's the processor we spec when a client wants the best Anthem currently makes, without compromise.

Why the Anthem AVM 90 Stands Out
ESS Sabre DACs
Reference-grade 32-bit/768kHz ESS Sabre digital-to-analog conversion delivers Anthem's most precise sound reproduction.
15.4 Channels, 19 Discrete Outputs
A larger output count than the AVM 70 gives complex speaker layouts more flexibility in how channels are assigned.
Four Independent Subwoofer Outputs
ARC Genesis calibrates up to four subwoofers independently, which matters most in larger or acoustically difficult rooms.
1.6GHz Dual-Core DSP
64-bit dual precision processing gives the AVM 90 the headroom to handle the most demanding object-based audio formats.
8K HDMI 2.1 Platform
Seven HDMI inputs and three outputs support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through with HDCP 2.3 and eARC.
Anthem Web UI & Custom Integration
Control the system from any browser, or integrate directly with Control4, Crestron, Savant, RTI, and ELAN.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Flagship-Tier Home Theater Owner: Wants Anthem's best processing, DACs, and room correction without compromise.
- The Multi-Subwoofer System Builder: Needs four independently calibrated subwoofer outputs for a large or acoustically complex room.
- The Large-Format Separates Buyer: Needs 19 discrete pre-amplifier outputs to feed a complex, high-channel-count amplifier setup.
How It Compares
The AVM 90 and the Anthem AVM 70 share the same ARC Genesis platform and HDMI 2.1 video engine, but the AVM 90 steps up with ESS Sabre DACs, 15.4 channels, and four independent subwoofer outputs versus the AVM 70's two. For most separates-based theaters the AVM 70 is plenty; the AVM 90 is for rooms and systems that call for Anthem's flagship.
