MDA16
The most advanced and versatile distribution solution
ever
MDAs are the most flexible and adaptive distribution
solutions available today, delivering dramatic levels of performance where
it matters—in the room.
With full matrix switching capabilities of analog and
digital inputs, and independent room correction with ARC® Genesis in each zone,
MDAs allow you to install robust audio solutions throughout a home or business.
These unique technologies actually understand the unique acoustic signature of
each listening space and correct deviations from an ideal response.
With an eye on preserving even the most subtle nuances of
music, MDAs accept high-resolution PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz. MDAs will never
hold back a compelling musical experience.
The MDA16 powers up to eight zones with sixteen full
channels at 60 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms (or 120 into 4 Ohms). Zones can
also be bridged for a high output mode with 200 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms.
Web-Based Setup
Nothing could be simpler than on-site configuration and
calibration using our intuitive Web-based controls.
The specially designed, adaptive user interface works on any
device. Custom configure zones, from input assignments to zone names. Adjust
levels (and every aspect of performance) independently.
Run Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis) for each zone, and
customize settings separately, Network firmware update with the touch of a
button.
Automation Compatibility
Robust IP/RS-232 connection capability ensures compatibility
with leading home automation systems, with easily downloaded drivers.

Digital Inputs, Digital Switching
Fast, efficient Ultra-Class-D amplification is supported by
proprietary Advanced Load Monitoring technology, delivering reliable
performance under even the most demanding loads. Our high-efficiency design
meets and exceeds global power-saving standards.
Smooth, instantaneous digital switching output allows the
linking of digital inputs between multiple amplifiers and analog pass-through
connections allow daisy-chaining of multiple MDA units.
Dedicated Subwoofers For Each Zone
Install and control subwoofers independently in separate
zones, with dedicated outputs (both low and high level, including bridge mode),
and zone-independent settings for the new, more advanced Anthem Room Correction
(ARC® Genesis).
Toggle ARC Genesis on/off in each zone to hear the benefits
of premium room optimization.
Zone Configuration Options
Zones can have custom names, multiple inputs, independent
playback, and tuning controls. Bridge zones for more power. Enable subwoofer
bass management in any zone, instantly set crossover frequency, level, phase,
and polarity.
Only the MDA Series gives you this much control over
multiple zones, supporting more creative system designs and more thrilling
audio performance.
Analog/Digital Matrix Switching
Full digital/analog matrix switching allows you to assign
any analog RCA, digital coaxial or digital optical input to any output, either
pre-configured via the web interface or switched in real-time via IP commands.
