ANTHEM – PURE PERFORMANCE, PURE VALUE

At Anthem, we have one simple goal – to design, engineer and manufacture audio/video products that deliver premium performance and convenience at a reasonable price. We do this by spending thousands of hours selecting and testing components, carefully designing our own circuit topologies, and backing them with robust power supplies that ensure maximum long-term quality and reliability. We achieve this with our team at the Paradigm/Anthem Research Center and their decades of combined experience.

Our obsessive dedication to high performance and value doesn’t end when a product leaves the factory. Through our network of independent specialty retailers and custom integrators, we provide unfaltering support for everything we make.

We’re proud to continue this winning formula as we introduce our newest generation of multi-channel A/V Receivers, A/V Processors and Power Amplifiers. Coming in December 2020 – meet the new MRX, AVM and MCA series of A/V solutions.
