A PASSION FOR BETTER SOUND!
Before pragmatic design, before performance testing and long before
production comes passion! A passion to produce something exceptional.
Anthem products are extraordinary, meeting and exceeding the needs
and expectations of audiophiles everywhere. Whether for personal or
professional use, Anthem products are worldclass leaders in high-end
performance and value.
EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP.
SUPERIOR QUALITY CONTROL
Our products are award-winning and internationally recognized not
only for their exceptional sonic performance, but also for their superb
craftsmanship and reliability. Every product must meet our rigorous
standards of performance before it is released to market. The result is a
truly superb selection of products that are guaranteed to provide their
owners with complete and lasting satisfaction. It’s not surprising that
Anthem products are highly sought after around the world!
SUPERIOR COMPONENT PARTS AND MATERIALS
Superior performance demands superior components and materials. PVA
amps are designed and built in North America using the finest quality parts
and materials. From military-spec (FR-4-rated) epoxy circuit boards to
multiple
high-current bipolar-output transistors; from oversized, computer-
designed
heatsinks to our own custom-designed robust binding posts,
the build quality of these amps ranks among the finest in the world!
EXEMPLARY CIRCUIT DESIGN
The sonic purity of the PVA amplifier design is the result of our intensive
research and development in high-end design. Superior high-end sound
begins with a superior power supply. These amplifiers use custom-built,
low-noise, high-power toroidal transformers and advanced power supply
regulators with high-quality, low-ESL/low-ESR filter capacitors and
huge storage capacity.
Our proprietary and patented circuit designs follow Anthem’s ‘Keep-It-
Simple’ principle, using the fewest number of parts in the signal path to
maintain the integrity of sound. These amplifiers provide the finesse and
instantaneous output power to effortlessly reproduce the challenging
variety of special effects in movies and demanding musical passages.
They are stable as a rock, even into difficult loads.
PVA amplifiers can be powered On/Off three ways: manually, with the
On/Off switch on the front panel; remotely, via the 12-volt trigger input;
or automatically, with our patented Auto-On/Off circuit—an incoming
audio signal immediately switches it on, and approximately 20 minutes
after the audio signal ends, it simply switches off.
122 dB SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO
“… an incredible S/N ratio of 122 dB. Good grief! That’s as good as no
noise at all,” said Brian Florian, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity,
commenting on the PVA 7. Whether it’s the subtle (or not-so-subtle)
special effects in a movie, or the tonal subtleties produced by the strings
of a single violin, PVA amplifiers capture it all! Ultra-low distortion and
a truly incredible signal-to-noise ratio place these amplifiers among the
cleanest and quietest on the market. From a silent black background,
sound appears in its purest form to envelop you in powerful emotion.
