PROJECT:
Anthem Home Theatre Update
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Rapallo recently completed a Anthem home theatre update, replacing an ageing Anthem MRX720 with the new Anthem MRX540 to bring the system up to current performance standards.
The MRX540 delivers a cleaner, more dynamic soundstage with improved processing and control, making it an ideal foundation for a modern home theatre while maintaining the reliability Anthem is known for.
As part of the installation, the room was fully calibrated using Anthem Room Correction (ARC). This process measured the acoustics of the space and fine-tuned speaker levels, distances, and frequency response to suit the room’s unique characteristics. The result is tighter bass, clearer dialogue, and a more balanced, immersive sound across all seating positions.
With calibration complete, the system was configured for home theatre use, including source setup, surround modes, and user-friendly control via an Apple TV. The upgrade has transformed the room into a more engaging and cinematic experience, showcasing how the right electronics, properly set up and calibrated, can make a dramatic difference to both movies and music.
And yes, we do large and small jobs.
