Anthem’s new MCA power amplifiers are available in 2-, 3- and 5-channel configurations and are compatible with the AVM 70 and AVM 90 AV processors, both auditory and cosmetic. Manufactured in Canada, these Gen2 amps offer greater transparency with dynamically complex material. Background noise is almost completely eliminated thanks to a 120dB signal-to-noise ratio. Power starts at 225 watts at 8 ohms and goes up to 600 watts at 2 ohms with stability while driving the most demanding speaker loads. Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) provides clip protection and maintains long-term performance and reliability. Additional features include:

  • High current output for less distortion.
  • Cosmetic match for AVM 90 and AVM 70 A / V processors.
  • Advanced Load Monitoring system ensures reliable long-term performance. • 8 coupled bipolar output transistors per channel for less load on each individual transistor.
  • Made in Canada.

Today’s premium home theaters require support for up to 15 speakers and 4 subwoofers to handle the latest object-oriented audio codecs from Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.
