The Anthem AVM 90 8K is Anthem's flagship AV processor, designed for high-performance home cinemas where audio quality, system flexibility and precise calibration are priorities. With advanced immersive audio processing, premium ESS SABRE DACs and no built-in speaker amplification, it provides a sophisticated foundation for a system built around dedicated power amplifiers and carefully selected loudspeakers.
A key feature is Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis), which measures your room's acoustic response and helps optimise speaker performance and bass integration. The AVM 90 takes this further with four independent subwoofer outputs, allowing compatible systems to calibrate multiple subwoofers individually for improved bass response, timing and phase alignment. Its HDMI 2.1 connectivity supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video, alongside eARC and gaming features including VRR and ALLM. Support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and other HDR formats makes it suitable for compatible film, television and gaming sources.
Designed for ambitious installations, the AVM 90 supports speaker configurations up to 9.4.6 and offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for connection to suitable external power amplifiers. Its premium processing platform and extensive connectivity make it a compelling choice for dedicated cinemas and high-end media rooms.
And upgraded analogue circuitry for high-quality audio processing.
With ARC Genesis calibration for multiple subwoofers.
For advanced immersive cinema configurations.
The Anthem AVM 90 8K supports up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video through its HDMI 2.1 platform, alongside features including VRR and ALLM for compatible gaming equipment. With support for modern HDR formats and three HDMI outputs in total, it provides flexible connectivity for premium home cinema and gaming systems. Actual performance depends on the connected sources, display and signal path.
At AudioConcept, we recommend the Anthem AVM 90 8K for customers planning a flagship home cinema where audio performance, advanced bass management and system flexibility are priorities. Its premium ESS SABRE DACs, upgraded analogue circuitry and ARC Genesis room correction make it a compelling choice for carefully designed, high-performance installations.
Compared with the AVM 70, the AVM 90 adds higher-tier audio circuitry and four independent subwoofer outputs, providing greater scope for individually calibrating multiple subwoofers. This makes it particularly attractive for dedicated cinemas where bass performance and system optimisation are central to the design. As a dedicated processor, the AVM 90 requires separate power amplification. We would typically consider pairing it with suitable Anthem MCA Series amplifiers and carefully selected loudspeakers, while also evaluating alternatives where the project calls for a different amplification or processing approach.
