Anthem MCA525 power amplifier Gen 2
Anthem MCA 525 5-channel power amplifier
Separate home theater components such as the Anthem MCA 525 Gen.2 must have clean power to make their magic come true. Anthem's MCA power amplifiers are available in 2, 3 and 5 channel configurations; and fit perfectly with the AVM 70 and AVM 90 A/V processors, both sonically and cosmetically. Our Gen2 amplifiers bring improvements to internal power supplies and wiring providing greater transparency for dynamically complex material. Background noise is almost completely eliminated thanks to a 120dB signal-to-noise ratio. Power ratings start at 225 watts into 8 ohms and go up to 600 watts into 2 ohms with perfect stability while driving the most demanding speaker loads. Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) provides protection against clipping and maintains long-term performance and reliability. Our new modernized design integrates beautifully with our AVM AV processors. With high current output and low distortion, you don't just watch movies or listen to music, you experience them.
Anthem's new MCA power amplifiers are available in 5, 3 and 2 channel configurations and are a perfect match for the AVM 70 and AVM 90 A/V processors, both aurally and cosmetically. Made in Canada, these Gen2 amps offer greater transparency with dynamic complex material. Background noise is almost completely eliminated thanks to a 120dB signal-to-noise ratio. Power ratings start at 225 watts into 8 ohms and go up to 600 watts into 2 ohms with perfect stability while driving the most demanding speaker loads.
Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) provides protection against clipping and maintains long-term performance and reliability. High current output and low distortion ensure complete immersion in a movie or music track. And furthermore, the Anthem MCA power amplifiers have a continuous output power at a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, <1% THD (all models).
