Anthem MDX-16 16 Channel Multi-Zone Amplifier

Control Connectivity
Run Anthem Room Correction (ARC® Genesis) for RJ-45 (10/100) each zone, and customize settings separately. Network Micro USB (Type B) firmware updates with the touch of a button.

Dedicated Subwoofers for each Zone
Install and control subwoofers independently in separate zones, with dedicated outputs (both low- and high-level, including bridge mode), and zone- independent settings for the new, more advanced Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis). Toggle ARC Genesis on/off in each zone to hear the benefits of premium room optimization.

Zone Configuration Options
Zones can have custom names, multiple inputs, independent playback, and tuning controls. Bridge zones for more power. Enable subwoofer bass management in any zone, instantly set crossover frequency, level, phase, and polarity.

Only the MDX Series gives you this much control over multiple zones, supporting more creative system designs and more thrilling audio performance.

Digital Inputs, Digital Switching
MDX Series accepts inputs up to 24-bit/192kHz over S/PDIF to provide the most flexibility supporting high-resolution source materials.

Fast, efficient Ultra-Class-D amplification is supported by proprietary Advanced Load Monitoring technology, delivering reliable performance under even the most demanding loads. Our high-efficiency design meets and exceeds global power-saving standards.

Smooth, instantaneous digital switching output allows the linking of digital inputs between multiple amplifiers. (Analog pass-through connections are also included, allowing daisy-chaining of multiple amplifiers.)

Equalization and Matrixing Capabilities
Full digital/analog matrix switching allows you to assign any analog RCA, digital coaxial or digital optical input to any output, either pre-configured via the web interface or switched in real-time via IP commands.

Automation Compatibility
Robust IP/RS-232 connection capability ensures compatibility with leading home automation systems, with easily downloaded drivers available.
