ADVANCED LOAD MONITORING (ALM)
All Anthem
®
amplifiers are designed to perform flawlessly—offering stunning musicality, tonal
neutrality and incredible dynamics while driving any speaker load reliably under real-world conditions!
The power supply is conservatively rated and the amplifiers run cool for greater reliability, but we
didn’t stop there.
These amplifiers feature our ALM (Advanced Load Monitoring) circuitry which protects
sensitive output devices by constantly monitoring temperature, current and voltage to ensure
optimum long-term performance. ALM is totally non-invasive—it is not in the signal path and
only engages in the most extreme circumstances to protect the amplifier from damage by
maintaining the safe operating area of the output devices. Buyer beware however! Not all
amplifier manufacturers have sophisticated load-monitoring provisions. Many have saved the
added cost, leaving their output devices unprotected, choosing instead to use the amplifier’s
output devices as “fuses.” At Anthem, ALM is just one of the ways in which our products
provide owners with years of reliable service.
