Anthem MRX SLM 4K
The Anthem MRX SLM 4K is a five-channel slim-line A/V receiver built for installations where a traditional receiver simply will not fit. With its slim design, the MRX SLM can be tucked away behind a flat-panel television, inside a cabinet, or even in the wall — built to be heard, not seen. It carries Anthem's full room correction technology and a genuine 50 watts per channel, in a chassis that delivers exceptional audio quality in an ultra-compact form.
A Receiver Built to Be Hidden
The MRX SLM's slim profile allows it to be tucked behind a flat-panel television, installed inside a cabinet or wall cavity, or mounted on any surface using the included mounting bracket. An IR extender input — with an IR repeater included in the box — means the unit remains fully controllable even when completely out of sight. Control drivers are available for Control 4, Savant, URC, Elan, Crestron, and RTI, making it straightforward to integrate into any managed home environment.
Anthem Room Correction (ARC Genesis)
Using a precision microphone and advanced algorithms, it addresses room acoustic problems at source rather than masking them, optimising frequency response for the space the system is installed in. Four storable profiles give flexibility across different listening configurations without having to rerun the calibration process each time.
Wireless Streaming
The MRX SLM supports Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, and Bluetooth, allowing audio to be streamed from phones, tablets, and laptops without additional hardware. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity are both supported.

Who Is It For?
The MRX SLM is the right choice for anyone building a home cinema or multi-room audio system where rack space or cabinet depth is limited — new builds, furniture installations, behind-screen setups, or any room where the equipment needs to be genuinely invisible. It is equally at home in a managed smart home installation, with full support for the major control platforms. If you need a traditional full-size receiver with a front panel and physical controls, this is not it — but if you need Anthem-quality sound in a hidden installation, there is very little else at this level.
