Both brands enjoyed a hugely successful CEDIA Expo in recent weeks revealing new products and concepts to excite dealers and integrators alike. Check out this preview of everyone’s favourite AV brand for the rest of 2023 and beyond.
Watch the CEDIA ReCap Video featuring Kyle Delnero from Paradigm & Anthem and Michael 'YouthMan" Stevens from YouTube, as they take you on a tour of our thrilling product line-up at CEDIA 2023.
MRX SLM
Likely one of the most anticipated Anthem products since the AVM-90, the MRX SLM is a compact 12-inch by 12-inch 5.1 receiver standing at just one rack U in height. As the demonstration showcased, the SLM delivers impressive power despite its compact size and can be installed virtually anywhere. Anthem is aiming for availability in early 2024.
DECOR V2
The MRX SLM finds an ideal partner in the upcoming Decor v2 models. Much like the current Decor series, these new v2 models offer versatile customisation options, allowing you to tailor them as stereo, centre, or LCR solutions to complement any TV setup. Notably, the v2 models boast an all-aluminium enclosure with approximately 40% more internal volume than their predecessors. The result is greater output, and on the larger models, more drivers for even more output. But the improvements don't end there.
Paradigm has also introduced a completely revamped TV mount system, which will now be included with every order along with the standard wall mount. The maker will continue to offer a range of contour grill options and have added a new option for a sleek metal grill that lends a contemporary aesthetic and suits outdoor applications. In addition to the customisable options, Paradigm will have three standard LCR models designed for 65in, 75in, and 85in TVs. The new Decor v2 models should start shipping in November. Stay tuned for a formal product launch where more comprehensive details will be available.
MDX 12
Equipped with Anthem Room Correction, integrated DSP, seamless subwoofer integration, matrix capabilities and more, the MDX-8 and MDX-16 have firmly established themselves as the most advanced and versatile distribution amplifiers available today. Despite their remarkable success, Anthem recognised the demand for a more straightforward, no-frills multichannel amplifier.
The MDX-12 is a 12-channel powerhouse, delivering 80W per channel, all neatly packed into a one U rackmount chassis. It comes equipped with ample analogue inputs and versatile bussing capabilities to address your requirements. Bridgeable as well, we believe you'll find the MDX-12 to be an excellent complement to our MCA amplifiers when you need additional amplification for your home cinema systems but have limitations in terms of space or budget. Available Q1 2024.
SVX-1202
An adaptable two-channel amplifier crafted to seamlessly integrate with 70-volt systems as well as 2, 4 and 8 ohm speaker configurations. Its impressive feature set encompasses Anthem Room Correction, integrated DSPs, compatibility with third-party IP control systems, as well as versatile streaming capabilities through Bluetooth, Airplay, and Google Cast. Expected arrival is early 2024.
FOUNDER FORTY-ONE
Lastly, Paradigm unveiled three exclusive Founder Series finishes that will be offered for a limited time in the spring of 2024. These three distinct finishes—Ruby Frostbite, Azure Ice, and Frozen Charcoal—mark a celebration of our 40-year legacy in the industry, while also symbolising the brand’s forward-looking approach as one of the rare independently owned and operated audio-video vendors devoted exclusively to serving the specialty audio-video retailer and integrator community.
These limited-edition finishes will be priced slightly higher per pair compared to the standard finish Founder models.
Both brands have plenty more great products planned for 2024 and look forward to earning your business and trust as your best vendor partner.
