Anthem MRX540 8K A/V receiver

Anthem MRX 520 receiver: full of smart features
The Anthem MRX 540 receiver is packed with useful features that ensure that viewing and listening become a convincing experience. Of course, this Anthem A/V receiver is also equipped with a high-quality amplifier design, which delivers a powerful power of 100 real watts on the five channels. No expense was spared to optimize the design, with sound quality, the power of the display and the ease of integration within a home cinema setup paramount. The result is impressive, because the Anthem MRX 540 is not only easy to use, but also sounds phenomenal.
What does the Anthem receiver offer?
The 7.2 preamp platform of the Anthem MRX 540 decodes Dolby Atmos & DTS:X, among other things. In addition, additional amplifiers, such as the Anthem MCA GEN2 power amplifiers, can be connected to the extra outputs. There is no shortage of streaming options, such as (soon) Spotify Connect and Roon, but Bluetooth, in addition to Airpay2 and Googlecast, is also among the options of the MRX 540. While setting up was often a hassle in the past, with the Anthem web user interface all functions and settings accessible with smartphone, tablet and PC. 4 of the 5 internal power amplifiers can also be reassigned, for example for bi-amping. Like the other members of the Anthem AV family, the MRX 540 also features the stylish new design.
But the most important thing? Anthem proves that high-end audio and video go hand in hand with simple controls and great sound.
Anthem MRX 540 AV receiver: home cinema as it was meant to be
Just like its predecessor, the successful MRX 520, the Anthem MRX 540 has 5 power amplifiers on board for an impressive surround and stereo reproduction. The MRX 540 is the entry point into the world of Anthem home cinema. Multi-channel playback as home cinema is intended: a powerful and impressive display of all content, films and music. Of course, the amplifiers (5 x 100Watt / 8Ohm) are of excellent quality, stable and durable, just like their bigger brothers. But the (free) Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis) software is also unique in its kind. Because a high-quality measuring microphone is included in the box with a stable metal microphone stand, nothing is left to chance and the user can expect a result as if you had been working with studio measuring equipment and measurement & correction software costing many thousands of euros.
