Our remarkable MCA multichannel amplifiers are a study in wonderful sonic contrasts.
Hefty, with a weight and authority reminiscent of far more expensive amplifiers; able to play deep, tight and loud without breakup. They are capable of reproducing all of the multichannel magic and complex dynamics of the most demanding 7.1-channel surround-sound experience without ever losing control. And they are consummate musicians. Musical, refined, and detailed—delivering a transparency and clarity destined to unravel even the most elusive notes of an elaborate aria.

These are qualities for which Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers are legendary. With the introduction of the MCA 20, MCA 30, and MCA 50, Anthem’s reputation for outstanding high-end performance got even better.

Whether it’s the finesse required to satisfy the most discerning audiophile, the power demanded by the avid home theater enthusiast, or the reliability required for professional multimedia and studio installations, MCA amplifiers deliver it all!

:: Eight Output Devices per Channel ::
Solid state amplifiers get their power from the output devices used in the amplification stage. Just like cylinders in a car’s engine, the greater the number of devices per channel, the greater the available high-current power for the crescendos in music, or the thrills, thunder and explosions in movies. Performance is simply more effortless. It also means that the amplifier will run cooler, making it more reliable.

Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers each have a whopping eight bipolar output devices per channel—that’s 40 devices in the MCA 50 alone, ensuring tremendous current reserves and outstanding reliability.

:: Sound Purity & Integrity ::
Our design for Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers follows the “Keep-It-Simple” principle. We utilize the fewest possible number of parts in the signal path to maintain the integrity of soUnd. All parts are of the highest quality and tolerance. As a result, these remarkable amplifiers offer the profound sense of musical purity, transparency and naturalness that is demanded by the most discerning listener.

:: Mirror-Imaged Channels ::
Frequency response channel-matching in our amplifiers 5 has always been far better than the norm. In fact, Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers are virtually mirror-imaged. All amplifier channels offer identical performance. The musical picture is incredibly vivid, seamless, and detailed, with a multichannel soundstage that is exceptionally clear, coherent and three - dimensional.

:: Modular Design ::
Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers reflect the benefit of a common modular design enhanced by our highly refined fourth-generation amplifier circuit topology. Each amplifier channel is completely self-contained on its own board and heatsink. In the rare event that service should be required, it can be done quickly and easily by a qualified technician, minimizing the “down time” of your system.

:: Vanishing Noise & Distortion ::
In a rare feat, transformer-induced noise at the bass frequencies of 60 Hz, 120 Hz, and 180 Hz, has effectively been eliminated. Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers boast vanishing noise and unbelievably low levels of Total Harmonic Distortion.

The reproduction of subtle harmonic structures in each of these amplifiers allows for a far more complete re-creation of spatial ambience and soundstage dimension—it’s enough to give you goose bumps!

:: A level of Quiet! ::
Signal-to-noise ratio in Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers is 120 dB ... a truly remarkable feat! Music and movie soundtracks simply appear out 0f “dead” silence allowing you to become lost in the emotion of the original performance the mark (and the end goal( of a truly high-end audio-video component. During even the most tranquil musical passages or dramatically quiet moments in a movie, the background is so ‘black’ that it is audibly gone.

Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers deliver incredible dynamics thanks to massive ‘audiophile-approved’, conservatively-rated power supplies designed with high rail voltages. Advanced-generation toroidal power transformers are used to ensure ultra-quiet performance by minimizing stray magnetic field radiation. This provides the pure, clean, low-noise power that is needed to reproduce the full dynamics of home theater, and the most complex and dynamic music recordings.

Our amplifiers are incredibly stable into difficult, low-impedance speaker loads, making these superb-sounding dynamos reliable performers in even the toughest circumstances.

High quality in! High quality out! Gold-plated female RCA jacks provide a high-quality input connection, but with Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers you get much more. XLR balanced connections are commonly used in professional recording and broadcasting to ensure the lowest level of noise and hum possible. Now you can use this same high-quality connection for reference-quality high-end sound since XLR balanced inputs are included on all Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers.

Our unique auto-sensing circuit makes connecting inputs a snap. Just plug in ethernet RCA or XLR connector and our auto-sensing circuit automatically selects the right input. No switches, no problems, it’s simple.

:: 50% Larger Power Supply Reservoirs ::
More Power! More space to store it! With 225 watts, large banks of capacitors are needed to store all of the energy required for the immense dynamic bursts of various special effects in a movie, or the taxing crescendo of a solo piano. These amplifiers are the most powerful Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers yet, employing 30,000 micro farads (pF( of capacitance per channel (that’s 150,000 pF for the MCA 50(. With so many joules of energy in reserve, when called upon, the MCA 20, MCA 30 and MCA 50 are able to deliver full bursts of power instantly and effortlessly.

:: Custom Chassis & Heatsinks ::
A redesigned chassis and large custom heatsink 33% larger than previous MCA Series amplifiers ensure that these amplifiers dissipate the heat generated by their higher power levels quickly and efficiently. Our custom heatsinks are computer-designed and modeled to maximize contact area for exceptional heat transfer efficiency. Put simply, they run cooler for greater reliability.

:: Superior Craftsmanship ::
Like all Anthem products the Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 home theater audio Multichannel amplifiers, designed and built in North America, 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/oft circuitry. Superior craftsmanship that is reflected in clean, clear, audiophile-quality top to bottom of the frequency spectrum.

:: Multiple Power Switches ::
Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers 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; or automatically with our patented Auto-On/Off circuit an incoming audio signal immediately switches it on, and approximately 20 minutes after the audio signal ends, it simply switches off.

:: Better Output Connection ::
Our own custom-designed, oversized robust binding posts ensure full power delivery at all times. They’re easy to use and facilitate large speaker cable connectors.

:: Detachable Power Cord ::
While a detachable AC power cord comes in handy when connecting various components, its function is more than one of simple convenience. High-end products typically offer the freedom to use a variety of after-market power cords offered by specialty cable manufacturers. By including [C detachable AC female sockets and high- power, high-quality 14-awg AC cords, Anthem MCA 20, MCA 30, MCA 50 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers further demonstrate their high-end pedigree.
