Anthem MRX 500 AV Amplifier

Here we have a high quality home cinema or A/V receiver from Canadian company Anthem. The MRX500 may not have all the facilities of some of its competition but Anthem aim to “deliver one of the industry’s highest performance-to-value equations” with sound quality to match. Our example is in good condition noting a few marks and is supplied suitably packaged along with remote control, mains cable, manual, plus of course our normal three month warranty. Also supplied is the Anthem room correction system which includes tripod, manual and microphone.

Features:
Anthem Room Correction (ARC) Technology –
Even when the finest speakers are perfectly positioned, the room itself can have a dramatic negative impact on sound quality. Room dimensions, dead spots, archways, even furniture can turn a room into an additional instrument adding unwanted coloration and resonance to music and movies.
ARC adjusts for the room’s effect on the speakers in a way that mimics our hearing. Now your Anthem gear and your speakers can do what they do best: allow you to lose yourself in the music or movie you’re watching.
