AVM50 Processor

Stunning two-channel/multichannel sound and the world’s most complete (and affordable) high-end multizone controllers put the full audio/video experience in your hands.

Designed and built in North America, The AVM 30, 40 and 50 operate on the same award-winning platform as their more expensive sibling, the Anthem® Statement D2.
Anthem’s AVMs are first of all, state-of-the-art music preamplifier/ home theater processors with built in tuners and independent source selection for recording. They’re also high-end whole-home entertainment control centers, with a whole-home focus as much about distributed video as about distributed audio. This makes it possible for you to select and direct audio and video program material throughout your home.
