The Anthem MRX 540 8K is the vital first step into high-performance entertainment, engineered with the same uncompromising philosophy as our flagship models. As the entry point to the award-winning MRX Series, the 540 8K is designed for those who demand authentic power and precision without compromise. With 7.2 pre-amplifier channels and 5 amplifier channels providing a conservative 100 watts each into 8 ohms, this receiver delivers the foundational power and performance needed for any premium home theater or audio system.
Anthem’s MRX A/V receivers are built with an independent engineering philosophy focused on maximizing audio performance. The MRX 540 8K incorporates the newest version of ARC Genesis with a redesigned, more accurate calibration microphone, Anthem's intuitive Web User Interface, and robust integrated streaming support. It features object-oriented audio codecs with support for up to 7.2 channels, ensuring a wide and immersive soundstage. The new electronics platform includes HDMI 2.1 with HDCP 2.3, offering 7 dedicated 8K HDMI inputs that support 8K/60Hz or 4K/120Hz pass-through, along with two dedicated outputs, including eARC.
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.
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.
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.
