Anthem AV MCA 325 GEN 2 - Power Amplifier

Description

The MCA 325 GEN 2 is a 3-channel power amplifier, crafted in Canada to match the AVM 60 processor and MRX receivers. It's completely redesigned for lower THD and noise, delivering 225W across 3 channels with a shared dual power supply, custom low-noise toroidal transformer, and next-generation Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) technology.

Features

• Delivers lower THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) for cleaner, purer sound and lower noise
• Completely redesigned for improved audio performance and reliability
• Higher current output for lower distortion
• Cosmetic match for AVM 60 A/V pre-amplifier/processor
• Improved Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM) system, not in the signal path, with front panel status LED
• 8 bipolar output devices per channel for less stress on each device
• Custom low-noise, high-power toroidal transformer with high rail voltages
• Shared dual power supply across all channels for instant full bursts of power without affecting channel separation
• Custom-designed, oversized audiophile binding posts
• 3 on/off modes: trigger, manual, auto sensing
• Less than 2 watts standby power consumption
• Crafted in Canada
