Thank you for purchasing the Anthem TLP 1 Preamplifier • Tuner.
Anthem Electronics has been manufacturing high-quality, high-end audio equipment for over a decade. In

experiences when attending a live musical performance, or the thrilling sound a movie buff experiences in
the very best movie theaters. Anthem equipment allows audiophiles to almost “be there” each and every
time they sit and enjoy music or home theater in the comfort of their home. Anthem provides all this with the
highest level of craftsmanship, sophisticated circuit designs, superior quality parts and materials, modern
intuitive ergonomics, and stylish industrial design.
Although Anthem products sound great “right out of the carton”, they will sound even better after they are
thermally stabilized. We therefore recommend that you operate this product for a period of time before doing
any critical listening.
The TLP 1 is a state-of-the-art stereo preamplifier with built-in FM • AM Tuner, Record output with
