Eight Output Devices/Channel!
Solid state amplifiers get their
power from the output devices used
in the amplification stage. Like cylin-
ders in a car’s engine, the greater the
number of devices per channel, the
greater the available high-current
power for the crescendos in music,
or the thrills, thunder and explosions
in movies – performance is simply
more effortless. It also means that
the amplifier will run cooler, making
it more reliable.
MCA Series II amplifiers have a
whopping EIGHT bipolar output
devices per channel – that’s 40
devices in the MCA 5 alone, ensuring
tremendous current reserves and
outstanding reliability.
Purity of Sound
MCA Series II amplifiers are designed
following the ‘Keep-It-Simple’ princi-
ple, whereby we utilize the fewest
possible number of parts in the
signal path to fully maintain the integ-
rity of sound. All parts are of the
highest quality and tolerance. As a
result these remarkable amplifiers
offer the profound sense of musical
purity, transparency and natural-
ness demanded by even the most
discerning listener.
Mirror Imaged Channels
Already better than the norm in its
previous series, frequency response
channel-matching has been further
improved in MCA Series II amplifiers
making them virtually mirror imaged.
This ensures that all channels have
identical performance. The musical
puzzle is even more seamless and
detailed, and the multi-channel
sound-stage more three dimensional
and coherent.
Modular Design
MCA Series II amplifiers all share the
benefit of a common modular design.
Each amplifier channel is complete
on its own self-contained board and
heatsink. In the rare event that
service should ever be required, it
can be done quickly and easily by a
technician, minimizing any possible
‘down time’ of your system.
Vanishing Noise and Distortion
The noise spectrum of MCA Series II
amplifiers has been even further
improved; and in a rare but very
important feat, transformer-induced
noise at the bass frequencies of
60 Hz, 120 Hz, and 180 Hz has been
effectively eliminated. In addition,
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) has
been cut in half from its previous
very low level.
The reproduction of subtle harmonic
structures are now vastly improved,
allowing for a much more complete
recreation of spatial ambience and
soundstage dimension – it’s enough
to give you goose bumps!
A New Level of Quiet!
Signal-to-noise ratio is an incredible
-122 dB, making these amplifiers
the quietest you can find! At last,
during even the most tranquil of
musical passages, or dramatically
quiet moments in a movie, the
background is so ‘black’ that it is
audibly gone. Music or movie sound-
tracks simply appears out of dead
silence, allowing you to become
completely lost in the emotion of the
original performance.
Toroidal Power Supplies
MCA Series II amplifiers are capable
of incredible dynamics thanks to
massive ‘audiophile-approved’, con-
servatively-rated power supplies.
Advanced-generation toroidal power
transformers are used to ensure
ultra-quiet performance by minimiz-
ing stray magnetic field radiation.
This provides the pure, clean, low-
noise power that is needed to
reproduce the full dynamics of home
theater or the most complex and
dynamic music recordings.
Power to Spare
When it comes to power output,
Anthem™ MCA Series II amplifiers
are immense, muscular and fast. At
200 watts per channel into 8 ohm
speaker loads (and 500 watts into 2
ohms, one channel driven), these
amplifiers will ‘Rock’ your speakers
and fill your room with the full
dynamics of your favorite music or
the thunderous effects of an adven-
ture movie!
