STR Integrated

Your Gateway to Sonic Nirvana

The STR Integrated Amplifier represents a new platform of power and control. We engineered this high-performance component to deliver an unprecedented level of authority, combining an advanced pre-amplifier with a massive power amplifier and a state-of-the-art processor.
﻿
It is a complete solution that goes far beyond conventional integrated amps. The STR seamlessly integrates a leading-edge DAC, our onboard Anthem Room Correction (ARC), a customizable bass manager for mono or stereo subwoofer outputs, and both MM and MC phono inputs. Our digital signal processing innovations ensure a noticeably higher level of performance and realism. The STR Integrated Amplifier is built to drive all your entertainment today, and engineered to remain a benchmark for years to come.

Engineered for Power and Precision

The STR Integrated Amplifier's performance begins with its formidable amplifier section. Its high-current, high-output design is anchored by 8 bipolar output devices per channel, powered by a robust toroidal transformer supply. This foundation is paired with Advanced Load Monitoring to provide a massive and stable continuous power output of 200W into 8 ohms, 400W into 4 ohms, and 550W into 2 ohms. This ensures the amplifier maintains absolute authority over your speakers, even under the most demanding loads.

The Science of a Pristine Signal

From the moment a signal enters the STR, it is treated with scientific precision. Its high-resolution preamplifier is designed for ultra-low noise and distortion. Lower-resolution sources are intelligently up-sampled to 24-bit/192 kHz, while the asynchronous USB audio input supports up to 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD 2.8/5.6 MHz sources. This meticulous process ensures a bit-perfect digital-to-analog conversion, preserving every detail and nuance of your music.

Unparalleled Control and Connectivity

The STR is engineered to be the nerve center of your audio system, offering a comprehensive suite of inputs and controls. STR includes digital S/PDIF coaxial and optical inputs, a balanced AES/EBU input, and a variety of analog options including balanced XLR, single-ended, and both MM and MC phono inputs for turntable enthusiasts. For the purist, the Analog Direct mode bypasses all digital processing for a pristine, uncolored signal. It also features advanced bass management for two subwoofers, allowing for precise, dual-subwoofer configurations in either mono or stereo.

Seamless Integration and Control

Every aspect of the STR is designed for professional-grade performance and effortless control. A high-resolution graphic front panel display provides intuitive navigation for setup and adjustments. For custom installations, the amplifier is fully controllable via Ethernet or RS-232, in addition to the supplied IR remote. This seamless integration ensures the STR not only delivers superior sound but also fits flawlessly into any sophisticated home environment.

Form Follows Function

One look tells you the STR is a different kind of amplifier. Its luxurious new industrial design is defined by clean lines and striking finishes, available in Black or Silver. At its heart is a high-resolution Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) display that provides intuitive control over your entire system. This is a masterful blend of form and function, where every design choice reflects the technology within.

Unlocking Vinyl's Hidden Magic

Our commitment to audio purity extends to every source. Acknowledging the resurgence of vinyl, the STR Integrated Amplifier features a dedicated, meticulously shielded phono section with separate inputs for both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. This unwavering attention to detail maintains flawless signal integrity, ensuring the transparency and refinement of the STR reveal the hidden magic of your classic media.

Gain Total Bass Authority

The STR provides total authority over your bass. Its advanced bass management, engineered for seamless subwoofer blending, offers flexible configurations for one or two subwoofers, including independent right-and-left channels. When paired with Anthem Room Correction (ARC), the result is an incredibly accurate and lifelike low-frequency performance.

Delicate Transparency

We believe two-channel listening demands a relentless pursuit of perfection. The STR Integrated Amplifier is the result of that commitment, masterfully balancing immense power and delicate transparency. Engineered with the shortest possible signal paths and differential circuitry, it cancels artifacts and keeps noise to an absolute minimum, ensuring a benchmark of flawless signal integrity.

Delicate Transparency

Power Without Compromise

The STR's high-current amplifier section is powered by a massive, in-house-engineered toroidal transformer. It produces a continuous 550W per channel into 2 ohms, effortlessly handling the most demanding material. The use of multiple bipolar output devices dramatically reduces distortion, ensuring extreme linearity and stress-free reliability.

Power Without Compromise

Stable As a Rock

Just as important as power is the intelligence to manage it. Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) is our non-invasive, proprietary circuitry that acts as a guardian for the STR Integrated Amplifier's output section. It constantly monitors temperature, current, and voltage to ensure optimum long-term performance without compromising a single note. This is a crucial element of our engineering philosophy, ensuring the amplifier's reliability is as unyielding as its performance.

ARC Genesis: The Room is No Longer an Obstacle

Acoustics are a science. Our award-winning ARC Genesis Room Correction uses a precision microphone and advanced algorithms to solve—not mask—room issues, optimizing frequency response for peak performance. With four storable profiles, you get unmatched customization and control.
