Description
ANTHEM MDX-16 MDX SERIES 16 CHANNEL/8 ZONE AMPLIFIER
New MDX Series is Anthem’s first line of multizone amplifiers. Featuring ARC Genesis room correction for each zone
The new MDX Series will be offered in 8- and 16-channel configurations (MDX-8, MDX-16) with – get this – the company’s ARC Genesis room-correction technology for every single zone (four and eight zones, respectively).
“Nobody has room correction for every zone,” says Paradigm/Anthem sales manager Chris Sipes. “They might have DSPs for every zone, but that’s not the same thing.”
Dedicated Subwoofers for each Zone
FEATURES:
60 Watts (8 Ohms) / 120 Watts (4 Ohms) with all channels driven, or bridges to provide 200 Watts (8 Ohms).
8- or 16-channels of Ultra-Class-D amplification, each supported by Advanced Load Monitoring technology, delivers fast, reliable performance even under the most demanding loads.
24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converter (DAC) maintains the integrity of high-resolution source materials.
Customized pre-set DSP settings.
Separate zone-specific bass management and subwoofer integration via a passive (RCA) or active (powered by another zone in bridge mode) connection.
Bridging allows up to 200 Watts for high power applications such as subwoofers.
Digital switching output allows linking of digital inputs between multiple MDX.
Analog pass-through connections allow daisy chaining of multiple MDX.
Speaker terminal block connections accept up to 12 AWG, ideal for long speaker cable runs.
IP/RS232 capability ensures compatibility with leading home automation systems.
ON/OFF switched via IP/RS232, 12-Volt trigger, or audio sensing.
High-efficiency design meets global power saving standards. Secure professional rack-mount arms included.
