The Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier delivers flagship separates power, studio-grade acoustic calibration, and comprehensive analog and digital versatility inside a single reference Canadian-built chassis. Rated at a conservative 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms, and 550 watts into 2 ohms, this high-current powerhouse effortlessly drives demanding floorstanding loudspeakers with explosive transient grip and vanishingly low distortion. Outfitted with Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis) and a calibrated USB microphone right in the box, a 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD 5.6MHz DAC, discrete Moving Magnet and Moving Coil phono preamplifiers, and dual subwoofer outputs with customizable crossovers and phase control, it bridges audiophile analog purity with modern acoustic precision.
Key Features & Innovations
High-Current 200W / 400W / 550W Power Amplification — the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier pairs a massive custom toroidal transformer and oversized filter capacitors with 16 bipolar output devices (8 per channel) to maintain stable, effortless current delivery down to 2-ohm loudspeaker loads.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC® Genesis) Included — ships with Anthem's proprietary room-measurement software and a calibrated measurement microphone, analyzing room acoustics to eliminate standing waves, optimize subwoofer integration, and produce pinpoint stereo imaging.
Reference 32-Bit/384kHz & DSD DAC with Analog Direct Mode — features asynchronous USB-B, AES/EBU balanced XLR, coaxial, and optical inputs supporting up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD 2.8/5.6MHz, alongside a selectable Analog Direct mode that completely bypasses all digital circuitry for pure analog sources.
Dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) & Moving Coil (MC) Phono Stages — incorporates separate, precision-engineered RIAA phono circuits for both MM and low-output MC cartridges, delivering quiet backgrounds and authentic groove retrieval without needing an external phono preamp.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs & Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM™) — provides mono or stereo dual subwoofer outputs with full digital bass management, while Anthem's non-intrusive ALM system continuously monitors temperature, current, and voltage to protect output devices without ever entering the audio signal path.
FAQ — Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier
Does the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier include the Anthem Room Correction (ARC) microphone kit?
Yes. The Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier comes complete with a serialized, calibrated ARC measurement microphone, telescoping tripod stand, and full license access to Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis) software for Mac and PC.
Can I bypass digital processing when listening to a turntable or external analog preamp?
Yes. Every analog input—including the balanced XLR, line RCA, and MM/MC phono inputs—can be configured in "Analog Direct" mode, keeping the signal path 100% pure analog from input jack to speaker binding post.
Can the STR Integrated Amplifier be used in a home theater bypass setup?
Yes. Any analog input (such as balanced XLR or RCA line-in) can be programmed as a fixed-gain Home Theater Bypass input, allowing your AV receiver or surround processor to utilize the STR's 200W/400W power amplifier stage for front left and right channels.
Where is the Anthem STR Integrated Amplifier designed and manufactured?
The STR Integrated Amplifier is designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Canada using heavy-gauge aluminum front panels, custom toroidal transformers, and audiophile-grade discrete components.
