IF YOU ARE VISITING FROM OUTSIDE OUR LOCAL MARKET, PLEASE GO TO PARADIGM'S WEBSITE TO FIND THE NAME OF YOUR NEAREST DEALER. Effortless—with the ability to play quiet to loud, without strain. Exceptionally clean, clear and detailed. The P5 amplifier responds with profound equanimity to their role in the highest-quality two-channel system or demanding 7.1 surround-sound home theater. The heart of an amplifier rests with its design and it is here that the P5 amplifier begins to reveal it's high-end lineage. Anthem's commitment to edge-of-the-art design includes multi-layered hand-designed circuit boards with thick two-ounce copper traces; rugged, independent power supplies with tuned toroidal power transformers for each amplifier channel; fourteen rugged bipolar output devices per channel for an overdesigned output stage; massive custom-designed, convection-cooled heatsinks with serrated fins; a “no-fuse” design. And the list goes on. The P5 amplifier is fundamentally more revealing, displays unparalleled musical refinement and delivers unheard-of resolution for both music and movies. It rival's the finest power amplifiers available at any price.   By design, the P5 amplifier is actually a powerful independent “monoblock” amplifier. Each channel is self-contained on its own glass-epoxy circuit board and heatsink. Each channel also benefits from its own independent power supply. Since there is no common audio path between channels there is a complete absence of crosstalk. Regardless of whether one channel or all channels are driven, there is no penalty in performance—even when all channels are operating at maximum output! Frequency-response channel matching is superb. The musical picture is seamless and exquisitely detailed with a multichannel soundstage that is astonishingly transparent, cohesive and three dimensional. In the rare event that servicing is required, the modular design allows it to be done quickly and easily by an authorized technician. Active-Load Cascoded Complementary Feedback Input Stage The P5 amplifier benefits from our 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 reliability. Massive Toroidal Transformers: An Audible Difference! 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 minimize stray magnetic field radiation and tuned to minimize hum. A sequence-controlled soft turn-on significantly reduces power line transients and in-rush current during start up, preventing accidental tripping of circuit breakers.     Independent Power Supplies Deliver Maximum Power and a Whole New Level of Quiet Due to the high costs involved in incorporating sophisticated independent power supplies many high-end designs have only one power supply—unregulated and common to the input/driver and output stages. The drawbacks to this design are a reduction in maximum power output and overall efficiency when all channels are operating. The constant charging and discharging of the power supply filtering capacitors can introduce noise into the audio path. Anthem™ Statement designers opted for a more expensive, but ultimately more effective, cleaner and quieter power supply design. Each amplifier channel features two separate and autonomous power supplies fed from separate transformer windings. A regulated high-power supply used in the driver stage facilitates an overdesigned output stage, allowing for highly efficient use of the unregulated high-power supply. The P5 amplifier is able to deliver stable, continuous power at maximum output, regardless of the number of channels being driven. Even when challenged by the most demanding musical transients, output remains fluid and continuous. Dynamic bursts of power called for by explosions and various taxing special effects in movies are delivered instantly and effortlessly. While some amplifiers tend to oscillate when driving lower-impedance loads, the P5 remains perfectly stable under all conditions. If pushed into clipping, our proprietary anti-saturation tracking power supply circuit takes over to ensure seamless recovery. Since the use of a regulated power supply in the driver stage removes any noise emitted by the bridge rectifier (often heard as an audible hum at 120 Hz and its harmonics), the P5 achieves an utterly white noise floor. Fourteen Bipolar Output Devices Per Channel An amplifier’s ultimate performance for music and movies is directly related to the the number of high-quality, high-current devices used in the output stage. The greater the number of devices employed, the lower the dissipated power on each device and the more power available for the crescendos in music and the demanding special effects in movies. While some manufacturers cut corners to save costs in this area, our designers incorporated fourteen rugged bipolar output devices per channel for an overdesigned output stage. This results in tremendous current held in reserve and unsurpassed amplifier reliability. Oversize Gold-Plated Binding Posts Custom-designed oversize gold-plated Anthem™ Statement binding posts ensure full power delivery at all times. They are easy to use and facilitate large speaker cable connectors. Multiple Power On/Off Options The P5 amplifier 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; or automatically, with our patented Auto-On/Off circuit. Auto-On turns the amplifier on when it senses an input signal on any channel and switches it off 20 minutes after the input signal ends. Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM™) Anthem™ Statement P5 amplifiers are designed to perform flawlessly—offering stunning musicality, tonal neutrality and incredible dynamics while driving any speaker load reliably under real-world conditions! The power supply is conservatively rated and the amplifiers run cool for greater reliability, but we didn’t stop there. These amplifiers feature our ALM™ (Advanced Load Monitoring) circuitry which protects sensitive output devices by constantly monitoring temperature, current and voltage to ensure optimum long-term performance. ALM™ is totally non-invasive—it is not in the signal path and only engages in the most extreme circumstances to protect the amplifier from damage by maintaining the safe operating area of the output devices. Buyer beware however! Not all amplifier manufacturers have sophisticated load-monitoring provisions. Many have saved the added cost, leaving their output devices unprotected, choosing instead to use the amplifier’s output devices as “fuses.” At Anthem/Sonic Frontiers, ALM™ is just one of the ways in which our products provide owners with years of reliable service.
