The Science of Superiority

At Anthem, we don’t just innovate; we engineer with intent. Every element of the MRX Series 8K is the result of careful design, rigorous testing, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. From the precision of our amplification stages to the integrity of our 8K HDMI platform, each feature is built on one guiding principle: to preserve the truth of the performance.

Gaming, Movies, and Beyond- Uninterrupted, Uninhibited, Unmatched

Our 8K HDMI 2.1 platform is not a feature list—it's a technical blueprint for next-generation entertainment. With 7 dedicated 8K inputs and 2 outputs, it ensures uninhibited signal flow at 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz. This is not simply about handling new formats; it is about guaranteeing the integrity of every pixel and frame, from source to screen. Features like VRR and ALLM are not afterthoughts; they are critical components of a platform built to deliver a fluid, high-fidelity experience, particularly for gaming.

ARC Genesis: The Room is No Longer an Obstacle

Acoustics are a science. Our award-winning ARC Genesis Room Correction uses a precision microphone and advanced algorithms to solve—not mask—room issues, optimizing frequency response for peak performance. With four storable profiles, you get unmatched customization and control.
