Receivers — Anthem MRX SLM

The MRX SLM is a compact, slimline AV receiver from Anthem, built into a remarkably low-profile chassis. The MRX SLM brings Anthem's considered engineering to a space-efficient home-theatre format.

Key specs that matter

Five main channels plus one dedicated subwoofer channel are provided - a compact configuration suited to smaller rooms or space-constrained installations. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio is a strong 109dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.005%. At a remarkably low-profile 38 x 330 x 279mm and just 3.0kg, the MRX SLM maintains a space-efficient receiver chassis, dramatically more compact than Anthem's full-size MRX receivers.

Sound and use context

Expect dependable, accessible surround-sound reproduction reflecting the strong 109dB signal-to-noise figure, packed into this remarkably compact, low-profile chassis reflecting Anthem's considered engineering standards.

Pairing

The remarkably low-profile chassis suits space-constrained installations, such as behind a display or in cabinetry with limited clearance.

Alternatives

Anthem's own MRX 740 8K and MRX 1140 8K offer considerably more extensive full-size receiver alternatives within the same broader catalogue.
