Description & Images Have Been Taken From Manufacturers WebsiteThe heart of an Amplifier rests with it’s design and its here that the Anthem P2 Power Amplifier reveal its high-end lineage: multi-layered, hand-designed circuit boards with thick copper traces; rugged, independent power supplies with tuned toroidal power transformers for each Amplifier channel; fourteen rugged bipolar output devices per channel; custom-designed convection-cooled heatsinks with serrated fins; a no-fuse design strategy. And the list goes on.
Edge-Of-The-Art Multi-Mono Design
By design, the P2 is a powerful independent Monoblock Amplifier. Each channel is self-contained on its own glass-epoxy circuit board and heatsink and benefits from an independent power supply. Since there is no common audio path between channels there is a complete absence of crosstalk.Frequency-response channel matching is superb. The musical picture is seamless and exquisitely detailed with a multi-channel soundstage that is astonishingly transparent, cohesive and three dimensional.Cascoded Complementary Feedback Inputs Stage
The P2 benefits from Anthems proprietary input topology – a unique departure from the classical differential input stage. Eight low-noise bipolar input devices, hand-matched for superior balance, are configured in a complementary active-load cascoded feedback arrangement. Heat shrink tubing applied around each critical input pair ensures superior thermal tracking.Designed to reduce distortion, this arrangement not only ensures exceptionally linear response, but also superior bandwidth and superb Amplifier reliability.Independent Power Supplies
Each Amplifier channel features two separate and autonomous power supplies fed from separate transformer windings. The Amplifiers are thus able to deliver stable, continuous power at maximum output, regardless of the number of channels being driven.While some Amplifiers tend to oscillate when driving lower impedance loads, the P2 remains perfectly stable under all conditions. If pushed into clipping, the proprietary anti-saturation tracking power supply circuit takes over to ensure a seamless recovery.Since the use of a regulated power supply in the driver stage removes noise emitted by the bridge rectifier (often heard as an audible hum at 120 Hz and it’s harmonics), the P2 achieve an utterly silent noise floor.Massive Toroidal Transformers
Conservatively rated, in a low-profile design, these low-impedance toroidal power supplies – one per Amplifier channel make no sacrifices when it comes to delivering a continuous supply of pure, clean low noise power.They are shaped to minimise hum while a sequence-controlled soft turn on significantly reduces power line transients and in-rush current during start up, thereby preventing accidental tripping of the circuit breakers.Fourteen Bipolar Output Devices Per Channel
An Amplifiers ultimate performance is directly related to the number of high-quality, high-current devices used in the output stage. The greater the number of devices employed per channel, the greater the available power to deliver the crescendos in music and the thunder and explosions in movies. And the greater the amount of current that can be held in reserve.While some manufacturers cut corners to save costs in this area, Anthem’sdesigners incorporated fourteen bipolar output devices per channel. This results in tremendous current held in reserve.Hand-Designed Circuit Boards
Anthems two-layer military-spec (FR-4-rated) glass-epoxy circuit boards feature plated through-holes and 2-ounce copper traces, promoting excellent conductivity. Extensive use of power and ground planes ensures exceptionally low noise and increased protection from stray electromagnetic energy internally as well as externally from other devices.
“No Fuse” DesignThe P2 Amplifiers is 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.The standby low-power supply is protected by self-resetting Positive Temperature coefficient thermistors (PTCs). Once the condition that tripped the PTC disappears, the circuit restores itself automatically.Oversize Gold-Plated Binding Posts
Anthems custom-designed binding posts are easy to use, ensure full power delivery at all times and facilitate large speaker cable connectors.Three Power On/Off Options
The P2 can be powered On/Off three ways:-Manually, with the On/Off switch on the front panel.Remotely, via the 12-volt trigger input on the rear panel.Automatically, with our patented Auto-On/Off circuit. Auto-On turns the amplifier on when it senses an input signal and turns off 20 minutes after the input signal ends.RCA And XLR True-Balanced InputsA three-way switch on the Amplifiers rear panel offers an RCA input, a professional quality XLR balanced input and an attenuated XLR balanced connection (for Pre-Amplifiers that require it). Gold-plated female RCA jacks and gold-plated XLR balanced connections provide the highest quality input connections.Oversize Aluminum Headsinks
With more than 1125 square inches (7258 cm2) of computer modeled heatsink (including large serrated fins) per channel, the P2 is superbly equipped to dissipate the heat generated by its 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.Designed And Built-In North America
Fine-grain brushed aluminum cover and extruded aluminum handles. Heavy-gauge, low-resonance 12-awg steel chassis and oversize aluminum heatsinks generate serious high-end weight and authority.IEC AC female sockets and detachable high-power, high-quality 14-awg AC power cords.Key Features
