The Anthem Statement D1 -
Better By Design
Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity called the AVM 20 a
statement piece.“ A statement about all that is important,
useful, and desirable in a surround sound processor.” In
light of this comment, the Anthem Statement D1 Home Theater Audio
Video Preamplifier & Surround
Processor must be seen as the ultimate high-end
statement.
:: Dual Motorola® DSP
Engines ::
Our own precision Digital Signal Processing design uses two Motorola® DSP
56367 engines—among the most powerful in the industry. Each is
rated at 150 million instructions per second, providing DTS® 96/24
with full bass management capabilities and enough processing power to
handle even the most complex program material with matchless precision. |
 |
:: Dual 3Mbit 8ns External Cache
Memory ::
The Anthem Statement D1 Home Theater Audio Video Preamplifier & Surround
Processor’s external cache memory is large enough to ensure that the powerful
DSP engines never run out of resources, even while running the most complex
algorithms.
|
:: Four-Layer Hand-Designed
Motherboard ::
The Anthem Statement D1 Home Theater Audio Video Preamplifier & Surround
Processor’s hand-designed four-layer motherboard features extensive
use of power- and groundplanes—all critical signal paths are surrounded
by groundplanes. While a painstaking, dedicated design process, it ultimately
provides a significant reduction in ground impedance, an absence of crosstalk
and exceptionally low noise.
All operational amplifiers (including those used in Bass Management)
are audiophile-grade Burr-Brown™ (OPA2132) FET-input type. These
op-amps significantly reduce DC offsets for greater signal precision
as well as providing immunity from “pops” during switching.
Renowned Wima film capacitors (MKS 2 metallized polyester and MKP 2 metallized
polypropylene) provide excellent attenuation and minimal distortion.
The higher-frequency clock crystal provides smoother user operation and
significantly faster response from the front-panel display, with precise
attenuation.
Battery back-up for clock avoids resetting the clock in the event of
a power outage.

:: Independent Digital Audio
Board ::
Statement designers chose, once again, to use high-grade audiophile operational
amplifiers (Burr-Brown™ OPA-2132’s) and high-grade resistors
to reduce DC offsets for greater signal precision. Wima film capacitors
supply excellent attenuation and minimize distortion, particularly at higher
frequencies. As part of the modular design approach, the independent audio
board also facilitates easy future hardware upgrades. |
 |
:: State-of-the-Art Video Switching
Circuitry ::
State-of-the-art video switching circuitry is laid out on isolated, independent
two-layer glass-epoxy circuit boards, eliminating the potential for signal
interference. The hand-designed circuit board layout (not done by auto-routers)
was optimized by maximizing the groundplane area and increasing the number
of connections (vias) between the groundplanes on the top and bottom surfaces
of the boards. The outcome is exceptionally low noise, an absence of crosstalk
and increased protection against stray electromagnetic energy. |
 |
:: Massive Toroidal Power Transformers
::
Two conservatively rated toroidal transformers provide separate Main power
(rated at 99 VA) and Standby power (rated at 26 VA). These low-impedance transformers
are shaped to minimize stray magnetic field radiation and tuned to minimize
hum. Magnetic shielding further reduces residual transformer noise.
Ultra-fast soft-recovery high-efficiency rectifier diodes by General Semiconductor® (UG4D
and UG8DT) contribute to an impressive Signal-to-Noise ratio: 107 dB on Analog-Direct
inputs; 101 dB on Analog-DSP inputs; and 104 dB on Digital inputs.
Power supply filter capacitance of 46,000 µF maintains low-ripple voltages
with higher loads, ensuring minimal noise and a smooth, continuous and instantaneous
flow of high-current power.
:: Designed and Built in North America
::
Elegant fine-grain brushed aluminum cover and extruded aluminum handles
complement the heavy-gauge 14-awg steel chassis. Blue vacuum-fluorescent
front-panel display and LEDs lend an elegant finishing touch to the Anthem
Statement D1 Home Theater Audio Video Preamplifier & Surround Processor’s
unmistakable high-end demeanour. The Anthem Statement D1 Home Theater Audio
Video Preamplifier & Surround Processor can also be ordered with optional
rack-mount handles. See your Anthem™ Statement Dealer for more information.
