Anthem MCA 225 GEN 2 2-Channel Power Amplifier
The 2-channel MCA 225 GEN 2, with 225 watts per channel continuous power into 8 ohms, stands out as a pinnacle of amplification excellence, reflecting Anthem’s commitment to pure performance and value.
ANTHEM MCA 225 GEN 2 2-Channel Power Amplifier – PURE PERFORMANCE, PURE VALUE
To complement the NEW AVM 90 and 70 A/V Processors, Anthem introduces the new MCA 525, 325 and 225 GEN 2 power amplifiers. Available in 5, 3 and 2-channel configurations, these new MCA amplifiers feature more robust and efficient power and heavy-duty reliability. The new MCA Series delivers lower THD (total harmonic distortion) for more clean, pure sound and lower noise for a supremely quiet background.
The MCA 525 GEN 2, MCA 325 GEN 2 and MCA 225 GEN 2, designed and Crafted in Canada, are like no other amplifiers in the world: custom low noise high-power toroidal transformers; high-current bipolar output transistors; high-quality filter capacitors; advanced power supply regulators; oversized aluminum heatsinks; custom-designed dual binding posts; and patented auto-on/off circuitry. Superior craftsmanship that is reflected in clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound from top to bottom of the frequency spectrum.
2-channel power amplifier; 225 watts per channel continuous power into 8 ohms.
