Anthem Statement D1 Instrukcja Użytkownika Pobierz pdf

There are a variety of corporate philosophies

among audio component manufacturers,

from the budget end with gobs of features

and extras, usually at the expense of sonics,

through those with bare bones features and

somewhat utilitarian cosmetics, focusing

on quality, sound and value. At the extreme

opposite end of the spectrum are the

manufacturers who design and offer com-

ponents without cost as a primary concern.

Anthem, which is part of Sonic Frontiers

International under the Paradigm Group, has

historically placed itself in an interesting

position between these two philosophies.

They have earned a reputation for excellent

sonics at relatively affordable price points

positioned well below the absolute high

end. Typically, they have not reduced their

feature set in the process and have gone

one step further in their new Statement series

of electronics.

The Statement component line is designed

to compete toe-to-toe with anything else

on the market, regardless of price. In fact,

Anthem welcomes direct comparisons.

Far from the stratospheric price point that

many flagship processors command today,

the Statement components are slightly

pricier than the still-offered standard

Anthem line. The subject of this review

is the new Statement D1 Preamplifier/

Processor/Tuner.

DESCRIPTION

Although the Statement D1 is built on the

same platform as the proven, well-regarded

AVM 20, this is where the similarity ends,

according to Anthem. The D1 contains

custom-designed circuit boards as well as

the highest-quality active and passive

components, including AKM® AK5394A

analog-to-digital converters capable of up

to 24-bit 192-kHz resolution. Processing is

provided by dual Motorola® DSP 56367

engines, and all digital inputs are converted

to 192 kHz by the D1’s own built-in state-

of-the-art up-sampler. The Anthem D1

is an extremely versatile and sophisticated

component that therefore warrants a lengthy

description to represent the multitude of

features and functions. Cosmetically, the

D1 is very elegant; the black faceplate

features gently curved wings on both sides,

with a liberal sprinkling of buttons and

controls. The overall look is somewhat

reminiscent of the Anthem AVM 20 and

AVM 30 home theater preamplifiers, but

with a touch more class and grace. When

powered, the numerous indicator LEDs

and the large, informative main display

centered on the front panel glow a won-

derful blue. The display can be turned

off, set to four different intensity levels
