Anthem MRX 540

User Interface Overview

The Anthem Web User Interface is now integrated into all MRX receivers and AVM processors. Using a phone, tablet or laptop, owners can easily access any function or setting and make changes on the fly. Turn the main zone or second zone on and off, adjust volume, change audio modes, or tweak channel adjustments for the perfect surround sound experience. The Web User Interface can also be used to calibrate speaker delays and levels and configure network settings/control options. Source devices can be renamed, simplifying setup by allowing for the elimination of unused inputs. Installers can import and export files to make remote management simple and convenient.

Robust Integration

The Anthem MRX 540 has external control and IP control capabilities for easy customization and compatibility with third-party integration solutions. It offers IP control capability for major third-party control devices.

Design

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

NEW! ARC Genesis Software

ARC Genesis is the latest software that works with many ARC-compatible Anthem or Paradigm products. New features include support for Mac and Windows; new target curve adjustment options including deep bass and high frequencies; improved algorithms and much more.

ARC Genesis is backwards compatible with many Anthem and Paradigm products that are ARC or PBK compatible. For a complete list, please visit AnthemARC.com. This third generation of Anthem Room Correction software represents a significant leap forward in room correction with the most comprehensive feature set to date. ARC Genesis transforms the audio performance of compatible speakers or electronics while preserving the unique character of any room. The proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) software works in tandem with a calibrated microphone (included with many ARC and PBK compatible products) to deliver stunning improvements to the sound you hear.
