Anthem MDX-16 Multi-Zone Distribution Power Amplifier

16-Channel Matrixed Distribution Amplifier • Up to 8 Stereo Zones • 60W/Ch into 8Ω • 120W/Ch into 4Ω • 200W Bridged • ARC Genesis Per Zone • Analog & Digital Input Matrix

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.

Highlights & Benefits

  • 16 Channels / Up to 8 Stereo Zones — Powers as many as eight independent rooms from a single centralized amplifier.
  • 60W Per Channel into 8 Ohms — Provides 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms for architectural and conventional loudspeakers.
  • 200W Bridged Output — Compatible channel pairs can be bridged to deliver 200 watts into 8 ohms for larger spaces, demanding loudspeakers or passive subwoofer applications.
  • Built-In Analog & Digital Matrix — RCA, coaxial and optical sources can be routed throughout the system without requiring a separate external matrix.
  • ARC Genesis for Every Zone — Each room can receive independent Anthem Room Correction settings to compensate for its unique speaker placement and acoustic environment.

Technology & Design

Ultra-Class-D Amplification — Anthem's efficient amplifier architecture provides consistent power across sixteen channels while keeping heat and power requirements manageable for centralized rack installations.

Zone-Independent ARC Genesis — Each zone can be individually measured and optimized using Anthem Room Correction, helping improve tonal balance and bass integration throughout different rooms of the home.

Advanced Audio Matrix — Analog RCA, coaxial digital and optical digital sources can be assigned to different zones independently, allowing multiple listeners to enjoy different sources simultaneously.

Advanced Load Monitoring — Anthem's proprietary ALM™ protection continuously supervises amplifier operating conditions to provide reliable performance under demanding loudspeaker loads.

FAQ — Anthem MDX-16

How many rooms can the Anthem MDX-16 power?

The MDX-16 provides sixteen amplifier channels and supports up to eight independent stereo zones.

Does the MDX-16 include built-in source matrixing?

Yes. Unlike the MDX-12, the MDX-16 includes an analog and digital audio matrix that allows compatible RCA, coaxial and optical sources to be routed to different zones.

Does ARC Genesis work independently in every zone?

Yes. Anthem Room Correction can be configured independently for each zone, allowing every room to receive correction appropriate to its speakers, placement and acoustic environment.

Can the MDX-16 power subwoofers?

Yes. The MDX platform supports zone-specific bass management and dedicated subwoofer outputs. Compatible amplifier channels can also be bridged when additional speaker-level power is required.
