Anthem P5

Description

The Anthem P5 is a powerful independent “monoblock” amplifier providing 5-channel power amplifier with 325 watts per channel continuous power into 8 ohms.. The P-series offer clean and quiet amplification with self-contained, glass-epoxy circuit boards to eliminate crosstalk. Two separate and autonomous power supplies deliver stable, continous power at maximum output, the use of a proprietary input topology, and massive toroidal transformers shaped to minimize any hum.

P2 and P5 amplifiers are Direct-Connected to the power supply capacitor bank. This keeps output impedance remarkably low while making more power available to the amplifier. Even when driving lower- or complex impedance loads, the result is audibly superior performance. If an output short circuit does occur, only the AC line breaker will trip—there are no fuses to replace.

Anthem uses custom-designed, easy to use, binding posts that ensure full power delivery at all times and facilitate large speaker cable connectors.

A three-way switch on the amplifier’s rear panel offers an RCA input, a professional quality XLR balanced input and an attenuated XLR balanced connection (for preamplifiers that require it). Gold-plated female RCA jacks and gold-plated XLR balanced connections provide the highest quality input connections.

With more than 1125 square inches (7258cm2) of computer modeled heatsink (including large serrated fins) per channel, P2 and P5 amplifiers are superbly equipped to dissipate the heat generated by their high power levels. This, in turn, eliminates the need for noise-inducing cooling fans. A thermal sensor on each heatsink continuously monitors safe operating temperature.

Anthem’s P5 and P2 amplifiers can be ordered with rack-mount handles.
