Experience Sound Quality Like You've Never Heard Before with ARC Genesis: At Anthem, we like to take things one step further. Rather than just designing a receiver, we want to engineer your room. With the most advanced implementation of our award-winning ARC Genesis room correction, professional calibration of your system can be achieved with the click of a button while still offering advanced functionality to refine the sound to your personal taste.
Sound in Disorder: Surfaces such as windows, furnishings, and the geometry of the walls, floor, and ceiling add unwanted resonance and coloration, making the bass either boomy or less punchy, voices less natural, and the dialogue less intelligible.
Sound in Order: Anthem Room Correction measures each speaker's output relative to the listening area, then through a series of calculations, adjusts its output. Not only does ARC correct peaks and dips in a speaker's frequency response, but it also preserves the beneficial acoustic attributes of a room.
