To complement the NEW AVM 60 A/V Processor, Anthem introduces the new MCA 525, 325 and 225 power amplifiers. Available in 5, 3 and 2-channel configurations, these new MCA amplifiers feature more robust and efficient power and heavy-duty reliability. The new MCA Series delivers lower THD (total harmonic distortion) for more clean, pure sound and lower noise for a supremely quiet background.

Like all Anthem products the MCA 525, MCA 325 and MCA 225, designed and Crafted in Canada, are like no other amplifiers in the world: custom low noise high-power toroidal transformers; high-current bipolar output transistors; high-quality filter capacitors; advanced power supply regulators; oversized aluminum heatsinks; custom-designed dual binding posts; and patented auto-on/off circuitry. Superior craftsmanship that is reflected in clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound from top to bottom of the frequency spectrum.

Delivers lower THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) for cleaner, pure sound and lower noise
Completely redesigned for improved audio performance and reliability
Higher current output for lower distortion
Cosmetic match for AVM 60 A/V Preamplifier-Processor

Improved Advanced Load Monitoring system
8 bipolar output devices per channel for less stress on each device
Less than 2 watts standby power consumption
Crafted in Canada
