Anthem Arc Microphone

Hello,

I have never gotten around to using this microphone. I picked up a MiniDSP SHD that came with a UMIK-1 so now I don't see myself ever using this guy. It's yours for $100 shipped (+ fees).

Do you know if this is the same that came with the Anthem MRX receivers? I lost the mic/tripod, and accessories in Hurricane Ian, box and all, but I still have the MRX1140.

The microphone for sale is the same that came with my Anthem AVM60 processor. The latest AVM and MRX models have an updated microphone.

How old is your MRX1140? Does it have the latest firmware and Network Module Version?

Probably best to contact Anthem with model info, date of purchase, firmware version(s) and ARC software version to see if the old style microphone works with your MRX1140. I would guess yes but you may not get the benefits of the latest ARC Genesis room correction.

https://anthemarc.com/downloads/#downloads

" ARC Genesis Version 1.6.10 requires your MRX x40  [MRX1140] or AVM 70/90 to be on at least Network Module Version 1.109.164 and Host Firmware Version 00.68. If you have Auto updates enabled, your MRX x40 or AVM 70 will update overnight to Network Module Version 1.109.164 or 1.111.182 (AVM 90). This update will include Host Firmware Version 00.68 for your MRX x40 or AVM or HD.73 (AVM 90) to unlock the most highly anticipated feature on the new MRX x40 and AVM 70/90 Series Models.

"We are pleased to announce the release of ARC Genesis Version 1.6.10, including the newly developed Anthem Auto Phase, Distance, and Time Alignment for up to four independent subwoofers on the MRX x40 and AVM 70/90 (model dependent), adding to the capabilities and further refining the already outstanding performance of ARC. With the addition of phase, distance, and time alignment, ARC:G will now precisely integrate subwoofers into your system for the ultimate immersive listening experience."
