To complement the AVM 90 and 70 A/V Processors, we introduce the next generation of our acclaimed power amplifiers: the MCA 525, 325, and 225. These new MCA Gen 2 amplifiers, available in 5, 3, and 2-channel configurations, deliver more robust, efficient power and heavy-duty reliability than ever before. With lower Total Harmonic Distortion and a supremely quiet background, they provide a cleaner, purer sound.
Designed and crafted in Canada, the new MCA Series is built like no other amplifier in the world. Each one features a custom low-noise, high-power toroidal transformer, high-current bipolar output transistors, and oversized aluminum heatsinks. This superior craftsmanship is reflected in a clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound that spans the entire frequency spectrum.
MCA Gen 2 has been completely redesigned with a single goal: to deliver pure, unobstructed audio. By greatly reducing internal cabling, we have created a smoother, more direct circuit path. The use of low-flux toroidal transformers and improved input transistors provides a greater sense of transparency, revealing every detail, even in the most dynamically complex material.
We have pushed every performance benchmark further, including power bandwidth and slew rate. With a signal-to-noise ratio of a stunning 120 dB, background noise is practically nonexistent. What's left is nothing but pure, natural sound reproduction, allowing you to hear the music exactly as the artist intended.
Our exclusive, next-generation Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM™) technology is a testament to our commitment to long-term reliability. ALM™ actively monitors internal temperature, current, and voltage to ensure safe and uninterrupted operation, all while eliminating the need for internal fuses in the signal path. ALM™ engages instantly, but only in the most extreme circumstances, to protect your amplifier and speakers from damage. If a fault condition arises, unaffected channels continue to play, and full-channel operation automatically resumes once conditions return to normal. This intelligent system, with its front-panel LED status confirmation, provides peace of mind and guarantees that your amplifier is always ready to perform.
In addition to reduced inrush current, MCA Gen 2 Amplifiers consume just 1-2W in standby mode, proving that exceptional power can also be exceptionally efficient. As with all Anthem amplifiers, they can be switched on manually, via trigger, or by sensing an input signal, giving you total control. We've added new, larger, more conductive audiophile binding posts to maximize contact and ensure a firm grip on your speaker cables. If you're looking for cutting-edge component separates, the MCA Gen 2 series delivers. It balances the complex dynamics of today's most demanding media with the finesse required to satisfy the most discerning audiophile. The MCA Gen 2 Amplifiers provide an abundance of conservatively rated power into demanding low-impedance loads, incredible reliability, and a new design aesthetic that perfectly matches our sleek AVM A/V Processors.
Today’s premium home theaters demand support for as many as 15 speakers and 4 subwoofers to handle the latest object-oriented audio codecs like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Pair an AVM 70 or AVM 90 A/V Processor with a stack of MCA amplifiers, and you'll hear sound that rivals the best commercial cinemas. The MCA series' scalability means you only need to purchase the channels necessary to power your vision. Our AVM Processors can now manage configurations up to 15.4 channels with ARC Genesis Room Correction, ensuring the best possible sound at every seat. And you won't need to hide your gear. Anthem’s modernized design extends to every component in the MCA and AVM lines, allowing your equipment to be as visually stunning as the sound it produces. Like all of our MCA power amps, they are proudly crafted in Canada.
MCA amplifiers deliver incredible dynamics thanks to massive, "audiophile-approved," and conservatively rated power supplies designed with high rail voltages. Our low-flux toroidal power transformers minimize stray magnetic field radiation, ensuring ultra-quiet performance. This provides the pure, clean, low-noise power necessary to reproduce the full dynamics of home theater and the most complex music recordings with absolute clarity and control.
Each channel of the MCA Gen 2 is built for unrivalled performance, featuring 8 bipolar output devices that deliver immense power. By distributing the load across more components, we ensure less stress on each individual device, which translates to superior reliability and a listening experience defined by effortless, uncolored sound.
Engineered and manufactured with a defiant, independent spirit, the MCA Gen 2 is proudly Made in Canada. Our commitment to local design and production allows our engineers to maintain absolute control over every detail, ensuring the final product delivers an experience defined by unrivaled quality and performance.
