High-Performance Whole-Home Audio with Eight Independent Stereo Zones
The Anthem MDX-16 Multi-Zone Distribution Power Amplifier combines sixteen channels of amplification, sophisticated source matrixing and Anthem Room Correction ARC Genesis in a powerful centralized solution for whole-home audio. Supporting up to eight independent stereo zones, the MDX-16 delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms while allowing compatible channel pairs to be bridged for substantially higher output.
Unlike conventional distribution amplifiers that simply provide power, the MDX-16 incorporates a flexible analog and digital audio matrix that can route compatible sources to virtually any zone. Independent zone configuration, bass management, dedicated subwoofer outputs, ARC Genesis correction and comprehensive IP/RS-232 control make it especially well suited to professionally integrated homes where different rooms require their own sources, volume levels and acoustic optimization.
