MartinLogan 5.1-Channel Ultra-Slim Networked AV Receiver - USR51

MartinLogan USR51 5.1-Channel Ultra-Slim Networked AV Receiver

The MartinLogan USR51 ultra-slim, 5.1-channel networked AV receiver combines up to five channels of power - 92 W per channel into 4 ohms or 50 W per channel into 8 ohms with two channels driven - with ARC Genesis room correction. Native wireless streaming brings high-fidelity music playback to the same system, while HDMI eARC helps preserve familiar TV input switching and volume control. Engineered in partnership with Anthem, this low-profile receiver brings sophisticated digital processing and clear, dynamic sound to installations behind flat-panel displays or within cabinetry, without the space requirements of full-size components.

Key Features

Ultra-Slim Performance With 5.1 Channels

Low-profile speakers no longer need full-size electronics to power them. Audiophile-grade processing and amplification fit into a sleek, slim chassis, letting you add a pair of speakers to a display, power a passive soundbar or build a low-profile surround system. Five speaker outputs and one subwoofer output provide the connections for a 5.1-channel setup, with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding supported.

ARC Genesis Room Correction

The full suite of Anthem Room Correction technology rapidly calibrates system performance through a series of in-room measurements. ARC Genesis addresses the acoustic challenges of modern living spaces in minutes, minimizing the harmful effects of hard surfaces and awkward layouts to optimize playback for the room. A USB microphone and cable are included.

Native High-Res Streaming

For music-first listening, native streaming lets this compact receiver double as a low-profile streaming amplifier for a room. Choose Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect or Bluetooth for high-fidelity audio without making the TV the center of every listening session.

Seamless Integration

Start with the included IR remote or use the Anthem Remote App for iOS or Android to control the receiver out of the box. Robust IP and IR support also makes it a practical fit for custom installations, with compatibility for Savant, Control4, URC, Crestron, RTI, Elan, AVA and Josh.ai control and automation systems.

Concealed Performance: Behind The TV, In Furniture Or In A Rack

The included bracket opens up discreet mounting options on a TV's rear VESA pattern, inside an in-wall media box or directly on the wall. For furniture installations, the compact footprint fits into many spaces that cannot accommodate a full-size receiver, while the included IR repeater or remote app allows operation without line of sight.

For rack-based systems, the optional rack mount kit provides a 1U installation. The kit is sold separately, giving custom installers another placement option when equipment needs to stay together in a rack.

Bridge The Complexity Gap

Moving from built-in TV speakers to surround sound does not have to mean learning a new everyday routine. The TV can continue handling source selection and volume adjustments, with eARC, HDMI, optical and analog input choices available for integration. The receiver's own remote, app and supported third-party control platforms remain options when you want more advanced control.

WebUI And App Control Without On-Screen Menus

Fine-tune detailed settings in the WebUI or control app without covering the picture with receiver menus or distracting other viewers. The receiver is designed without an on-screen display, so TV visuals behave as before; the TV's own volume display can still show the level while sound plays through the separate speaker system.
