Anthem MRX 740

Anthem’s MRX A/V receivers aim to maximize performance for the money. Building on the feature set of our previous models, we’ve added the latest version of ARC Genesis, a redesigned and more accurate calibration microphone, the Anthem Web User Interface, built-in streaming support, object-oriented audio codecs with support for up to 15.2 channels, and Anthem’s clean power supply known for delivering up to 140W per channel.

The MRX 540, 740, and 1140 are an excellent way to bring superior sound quality to any home theater or media room. Seamlessly integrate your smart TV or projector with 7 HDMI inputs and 2 outputs, plus eARC. Ultra HD signals are passed through unaltered at up to 18.2 Gbps with support for Dolby Vision, HDR, and Hybrid Log Gamma.
