ANTHEM RELEASES THIRD-GEN ARC GENESIS ROOM CORRECTION
Anthem has announced the immediate availability of its third-generation ARC room correction platform, dubbed 'Genesis'.
Anthem says its latest release was influenced by a three-year study undertaken by Canada's National Research Council titled, The Athena Project and involved such notables as Dr Floyd Toole.
ARC Genesis software is compatible with Anthem receivers and surround pre-amps, in addition to ARC or PBK enabled Paradigm and Martin Logan products. The only components not able to use the new Genesis software are legacy products that rely solely on RS-232 for connection.
As with previous incarnations of ARC, the new software is available for download from the product's homepage and is compatible with both Windows and MAC.
Working in conjunction with the calibrated microphone, ARC Genesis is said to offer 'a whole new level of room correction'. Improvements include new target curve adjustment options, including deep bass and high frequencies, the ability to save, start and resume individual measurements.
Genesis now also allows users to retake individual measurements, enabling them to assess the impact of changes such as speaker position and delays quickly.
Other changes include an improved algorithm, updated user interface and the ability to set different maximum correction frequencies for each set of speakers. Automatic speaker/subwoofer phase alignment is also available for Anthem STR products.
Having a very positive experience with ARC's second-generation software when we reviewed Anthem's MRX-1120 in 2017, we're keen to see what the new Genesis software has to offer.
Keen to put ARC Genesis to use, Anthem's MRX-720 AV Reciever has just arrived at StereoNET for review. Stay tuned!

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
