Inside a Wall-Mounted Media Box

If you want to simplify the installation of various devices scattered around your entertainment area, installing a built-in box, called a media box, behind the TV has become increasingly popular. The Anthem MRX SLM has also been designed with this installation in mind, offering the ideal solution both aesthetically and in terms of connections, limiting cables to just a few centimetres.

Goodbye cables, hello HDMI eARC

HDMI eARC enables a single HDMI cable to transmit high-quality audio signals from a television to an audio device, such as an AV amplifier or soundbar. This technology supports higher bandwidth and the new Dolby Atmos and DTS:X systems for immersive audio quality. Of course, the new MRX SLM features both HDMI eARC input and output.

ARC Genesis Room Correction

Anthem knows that room influences can make or break sound reproduction, and this cannot be left to chance. Over the years, they have implemented a proprietary technology in their products, the latest version of which is called ARC Genesis. This digital technology automatically corrects the negative influence of the room, performing a professional calibration of your system at the touch of a button, and if you want to customize it, you can manually intervene on the parameters to change according to your personal taste. Glass surfaces, furnishings, the geometry of the walls, floors and ceilings, all add resonances and unwanted colorations. Anthem Room Correction measures in real time the output of each speaker in relation to the listening area and, through a series of calculations, adjusts the output. ARC not only corrects the peaks and dips in the frequency response of a speaker, but also preserves the positive acoustic characteristics of a room.

Simplified Setup

Sometimes so much technology is daunting, and we think we can't use it well. Anthem is committed to simplifying the way you interact with technology. That's why we designed MRX SLM with attention to every detail, to offer maximum flexibility in how you configure the device. With the MRX SLM, you can use your phone, tablet or laptop to easily access any feature or setting and make changes on the fly. Whether you want to turn the MRX SLM on or off, adjust the volume, change sound modes or change channel settings, you're in control. Enjoy a perfect surround sound experience with ease, thanks to the Anthem MRX SLM's intuitive control.
