Multichannel muscle for your home theater
The Anthem MCA 525 is 61 pounds' worth of multichannel muscle. When Anthem visited Crutchfield to demo their line, I casually attempted to lift the MCA 525 — and was humbled by its heft. It will drive even power-hungry speakers to movie theater volume levels without breaking a sweat. And this well-engineered amp excels at controlling the stop-start motion of your speakers' drivers, enhancing virtually every aspect of sound quality from deep bass, to dynamics, to soundstaging.

Usually, 5-channel amps like the MCA 525 are paired with A/V preamp/processors like Anthem's superb AVM 60. But if your home theater receiver has preamp outputs — and many do, like Anthem's MRX Series models — you can easily connect the MCA 525 and use it to drive your main and surround channels. That surge of added power adds startling impact to movie soundtracks.

Inside the Anthem sound

The MCA 525 is constructed like 5 mono amps, with dual toroidal power supplies for plenty of stable power.

The MCA 525's rated power output provides a clue to this amp's unshakeable grip on the music. It produces 225 watts per channel at 8 ohms, 400 watts into 4 ohms and an incredible 600 watts into 2 ohms!

Anthem's previous 5-channel amp used a single power supply for the front left and right channels, and another supply for the center and surrounds. The MCA 525 employs a new design, sharing its two power supplies among all channels. The result is full bursts of power — instantly — without ever compromising channel separation.

When designing their latest MCA Series amplifiers, Anthem upgraded nearly every part in the signal path in order to reduce noise and distortion. From the custom high-power toroidal transformers inside, to the re-designed speaker binding posts in back, every feature was optimized so that you'll hear clean, transparent sound emerging from an eerily quiet background.
