Anthem MRX 740 8K 7.2ch AV Receiver

Anthem’s MRX A/V Receivers are about maximizing performance for the money. Building on the success of their previous models the latest ’40 series adds the newest version of ARC Genesis room correction software, a redesigned and more accurate calibration microphone, Anthem Web User Interface, integrated streaming support and object-oriented audio codec support

Pure performance

Anthem has a reputation for creating high-performance home theatre receivers that put sound quality above all else and that are simple to operate. The MRX 740 8K is a great example of this, combining terrific A/V processing with high quality amplification and an intuitive browser-based control system. The large front-panel display gives you easy-to-read status updates at a glance.

Ideal for a Dolby Atmos home theatre system

The seven-channel MRX 740 is ideal for powering a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos — that's the traditional five speakers and subwoofer configuration, plus a pair of upward-firing or in-ceiling speakers for overhead Atmos effects.

Plenty of power for each channel

Five of the MRX 740'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 two 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 740 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.
