Anthem Ships High-Power Statement D2v Preamp/Processor

Anthem is now shipping its Statement D2v, version two, preamplifier/processor. For our friends from north of the border, let’s just say this generation Statement compared to the original packs a punch like Canadian beer compared to American.

The Statement D2v has your client more than well covered on the HDMI side, as the rear panel has barely any surface room not covered by an input or output, starting with four more HDMI 1.3c inputs and one more HDMI 1.3c output—that brings those totals on D2v to eight inputs and two outputs, respectively.

Anthem's delivered two dual-core DSP engines for 800 MIPS (million instructions per second) processing power for your Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High-Resolution Audio and Dolby Digital Plus, as well as 24/192 PCM audio input, for up to 7.1 channels.

Anthem's Room Correction (ARC) system is standard and takes into consideration room conditions and frequency response for the best audio reproduction.

On the video side, the Statement's updated VXP digital image processor offers:

• Fully-adaptive de-interlacing
• 3D noise reduction
• Mosquito noise reduction
• Block artifact reduction
• Adaptive detail enhancement
• Adaptive contrast enhancement

MSRP: $7,499
