ANTHEM – EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE, UNMATCHED VALUE
To complement the cutting-edge A/V processing capabilities of the NEW AVM 90 and 70 A/V Processors, Anthem proudly introduces the latest MCA 525, 325, and 225 GEN 2 power amplifiers. Available in 5, 3, and 2-channel configurations, these new MCA amplifiers showcase enhanced power efficiency and robust reliability. The MCA Series GEN 2 brings a reduction in THD (total harmonic distortion), ensuring a purer, more pristine sound quality, accompanied by minimal noise for an exceptionally quiet audio background.
Crafted and designed in Canada, the MCA 525 GEN 2, MCA 325 GEN 2, and MCA 225 GEN 2 stand out as amplifiers unlike any other globally. They boast custom low-noise high-power toroidal transformers, high-current bipolar output transistors, top-notch filter capacitors, advanced power supply regulators, oversized aluminum heatsinks, custom-designed dual binding posts, and patented auto-on/off circuitry. The result is superior craftsmanship evident in the delivery of clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound across the entire frequency spectrum.
The MCA 525 GEN 2, a 5-channel power amplifier, offers an impressive 225 watts per channel continuous power into 8 ohms.
