What is IMAX ENHANCED®?

What is IMAX Signature Sound?

For every film released in IMAX theatres, IMAX works in close collaboration with the filmmakers and original sound team to create a custom soundtrack fully optimized for IMAX theatres’ point-source surround sound. Instead of using a “near-field mix”— which dulls the impact of IMAX’s theatrical sound system—this proprietary IMAX audio mix is painstakingly recreated for a living room environment.

What is DTS:X™?

DTS:X is the next generation audio codec from DTS that leverages object-based audio to enable new audio experiences in immersion and interactivity. DTS:X places sound where it would occur naturally in space, creating the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience ever. Free from channel restrictions, sound can be placed and moved to where you would hear it in the real world. Because DTS:X doesn’t require any specific speaker layout, you can arrange your home theater system however you want it. With DTS:X you’re in control of your listening experience. That hard-to-hear line in a movie can be lifted out of the background sounds for a more personal entertainment experience.

Backward Compatible

DTS will play back all DTS formats including DTS Digital Surround and DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS:X bitstreams are backward-compatible with older DTS AVRs and sound great.

Immersive

DTS:X places sound where it would occur naturally in space, creating the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience ever. Be prepared — this improved immersion and heightened realism makes horror movies scarier, comedies more laugh-out-loud, and car chase scenes even more real.

Flexible

The DTS:X solution adapts to practically any home theater speaker layout, so you have the freedom to choose what fits best in your home.

What is Dolby Atmos®?

Sound has never sounded this good. Feel a deeper connection to the stories and music you love with sound that moves all around you with breathtaking realism.

Immersive Sound

Freed from channels, individual sounds are precisely placed in the room and can move around you, including overhead and down low, immersing you in each story and song.

Crystal Clear Quality

Whether it’s intimate dialogue or a complex soundscape, every detail comes alive in rich clarity and depth, so you won’t miss a thing.

Feel More

Turn up the volume on your emotions with audio so rich, so immersive, so pure, you’ll feel a stronger connection to the characters and music.

Embraced by Artists

Dolby Atmos expands the creative palette for artists and creators. Instruments and vocals can be isolated and articulated with incredible clarity. And the use of multi-dimensional space makes listeners feel like they’ve stepped inside the song.

Design

At Anthem, we have one simple goal – to design, engineer and manufacture audio/video products that deliver premium performance and convenience at a reasonable price. We do this by spending thousands of hours selecting and testing components, carefully designing our own circuit topologies, and backing them with robust power supplies that ensure maximum long-term quality and reliability. We achieve this with our team at the Paradigm/Anthem Research Center and their decades of combined experience.

Limitless Possibilities

Today’s premium home theaters need support for as many as 15 speakers and 4 subwoofers to handle the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-oriented audio codecs. Pair an AVM 70 or AVM 90 A/V Processor with a stack of MCA amplifiers and you’ll hear sound that rivals the best commercial cinemas.

MCA’s scalability means you can purchase only the channels you need to power your vision of home entertainment. AVM Processors can now manage configurations up to 15.4 channels (up from 11.2) with ARC Genesis Room Correction ensuring the best possible sound at every seat. And you won’t need to hide your gear from view.

Anthem’s modernized design extends to every component in the MCA and AVM lines. All MCA power amps are Crafted in Canada.
