The D2v pushes the boundaries on what you can expect from music and home theater performance. With the unparalleled flexibility you have come to expect from Anthem processors, it provides both the versatility and adjustability you need to make all of your digital video components work together seamlessly. The results are spectacular.

Leading-edge video format conversion and next-generation processing unleash the full potential of your high-definition display. The improvement the D2v’s video processing brings to picture quality and picture clarity is astounding. While on lower resolution displays the improvements are dramatic, on the new generation of displays, picture quality is simply astonishing!

The D2v also boasts our built-in precision upsampler which converts sample rates of all incoming digital signals to 192 kHz. In fact, the D2v is still the only preamplifier/processor to offer upsampling on all channels and all formats, including decoded Dolby Digital and DTS material.

As a high-end whole-home entertainment center, the D2v is as much about distributed video as it is about distributed audio—allowing you to select and direct audio and video program material throughout your home.

And then there’s Anthem Room Correction (ARC), included with every D2v. Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room itself still has a dramatic impact on a system’s sound, an impact more profound than that of any individual component. Various solutions have fallen in and out of favor over the years, but none has solved the problem of “the room.” Until ARC. Using proprietary processes and the power of your PC, ARC analyzes each speaker’s in-room sound and then computes the required correction to yield optimal performance from every speaker.

Designed and manufactured in North America, the D2v is the ultimate high-end statement—the final word in digital audio and digital video processing as well as problems of “the room.”
