On the heels of the Statement D1 home theater preamplifier/processor, Anthem
introduces the Statement P2 and P5 – two-channel and five-channel amplifiers.
These amplifiers blend performance with high-end styling to recreate the
powerful dynamics of today’s movie and music soundtracks.
Many high-end
amplifiers use only one power supply, resulting in reduction of maximum power
output and overall efficiency when all of the amplifier’s channels are driven.
The P2 and P5 amplifiers feature dual, autonomous power supplies on each
channel, allowing the amplifiers to deliver stable and continuous power
regardless of the number of channels driven, according to Anthem.
Anthem
engineered the P2 and P5 to perform like independent monoblock amplifiers. Each
channel is self-contained on its own chassis with glass-epoxy circuit board and
heatsink. Each channel also benefits from its own independent power supply.
Regardless of whether one channel or all channels are operating, there is no
penalty in performance, even when all channels are operating at maximum output
according to Anthem. The P2 and P5 also feature fourteen bipolar outputs per
channel.
