The Anthem D1 has been considered one of the finest AV preamps you can buy.  For good reason, its flexibility and amazing sound have won over countless reviewers and consumers alike. Not being a company to rest on their laurels, Anthem added world-class video processing to the critically acclaimed D1 Director AV preamp and released it, calling the new unit the D2. Finally the D2v was released with even more advanced video capability including 3D.

Anthem has added their own proprietary room correction software based on scientific research done by the National Research Council, which investigated how we humans actually hear, and used their findings to adjust and compensate for speaker and room inadequacies. The ARC is a huge step forward for this exceptional processor and makes what has been one of the best available significantly better. Anthem really did the room correction right on this piece. While most companies include generic microphones, each individual microphone from Anthem is calibrated and assigned to the software and serial number or your processor, making sure you get nothing but the same result they obtained in their modeling of the system.

The Anthem Statement processor offers all most will ever need from an AV preamp.  10 channels of assignable balanced and single-ended outputs, a 5.1 channel input and a whole host of stereo analog ins, including a balanced input. Video inputs are covered nicely with composite, S-Video and component inputs and outputs. All these features are packed into a beautiful black blushed aluminum case.  A host of HDMI inputs to handle high-definition video sources.

The sonics of the Anthem are smooth and clear, with great separation and detail often not found in lesser-priced and sometimes even higher-priced AV preamps.  As a straight 2-channel audio preamp the D2v would shine even in a modest system.  Add in the advanced room correction and its a shocking value for the money.  The neutral nature of the D2v sonics are very welcome and really stand out above the bright and harsh nature of lesser processors, even if they eke out a few more features for wooing customers with the "laundry list effect." It’s important to trust your ears, because in order to significantly improve on the sound of Anthem D2v, you should expect to spend double or triple the investment to get to the next level of audio performance from an AV preamp. Add to the value proposition that Anthem’s D2v is one of the most stable, reliable AV preamps on the market and its value only goes up.

This unit was the personal theater pre/pro of our companies president. It was truly one of the best units we’ve heard in both audio and video performance. 

You’d be hard pressed to find an audio pre-amp today for under $3K that sounds better.
