Anthem MRX 1140 8K Elite 11.2ch AV Receiver

Anthem has a reputation for creating high-performance home theatre receivers that put sound quality above all else. The MRX 1140 8K is a great example of this, combining outstanding AV processing with high quality amplification, powerful ARC Genesis room correction, integrated streaming support with AirPlay 2, Chromecast and Spotify Connect and of course the latest object-based surround sound codec support.

Theatre quality Dolby Atmos at home

The MRX 1140 is capable of driving up to 11 speakers at the same time. That means you can power an ultra-immersive 7.2.4-channel Dolby Atmos or DTS:X™ system, with up to four upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead effects.

Premium amplification

Five of the MRX 1140's channels are rated at 140 watts (Class AB amplification), and are well-suited for high-performance stand-mount or floor-standing speakers. The other six channels are rated at 60 watts (Class D), which is plenty of power for surround or overhead channels that reproduce less-demanding portions of a movie's soundtrack. 

Advanced room calibration with ARC Genesis 

The Anthem MRX 1140 includes the company's own highly regarded ARC (Anthem Room Correction) Genesis software — one of the industry's best room-correction platforms. ARC Genesis measures the acoustics of your room with the included microphone, and then fine-tunes the output of your system to best match the unique sonic characteristics of your space. The resulting sound is clear, smooth, and ultra-detailed, with tight bass and impactful dynamics.

Note: You'll need to install the free ARC Genesis software on your Mac® or PC prior to calibration.
