A PASSION FOR BETTER SOUND!
Before pragmatic design, before performance testing and long before
production comes passion! A passion to produce something exceptional.
Anthem products are extraordinary, meeting and exceeding the needs and
expectations of audiophiles everywhere. Whether for personal or
professional use, Anthem products are worldclass leaders in high-end
performance and value.
EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP. SUPERIOR QUALITY CONTROL
Our products are award-winning and internationally recognized not only
for their exceptional sonic performance, but also for their superb
craftsmanship and reliability. Every product must meet our rigorous
standards of performance before it is released to market. The result is a
truly superb selection of products that are guaranteed to provide their
owners with complete and lasting satisfaction. It’s not surprising that
Anthem products are highly sought after around the world!
122 dB SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO
“… an incredible S/N ratio of 122 dB. Good grief! That’s as good as no
noise at all,” said Brian Florian, Secrets of Home Theater and High
Fidelity, commenting on the PVA 7. Whether it’s the subtle (or
not-so-subtle) special effects in a movie, or the tonal subtleties
produced by the strings of a single violin, PVA amplifiers capture it
all! Ultra-low distortion and a truly incredible signal-to-noise ratio
place these amplifiers among the cleanest and quietest on the market.
From a silent black background, sound appears in its purest form to
envelop you in powerful emotion.
SUPERIOR COMPONENT PARTS AND MATERIALS
Superior performance demands superior components and materials. PVA
amps are designed and built in North America using the finest quality
parts and materials. From military-spec (FR-4-rated) epoxy circuit
boards to multiple high-current bipolar-output transistors; from
oversized, computerdesigned heatsinks to our own custom-designed robust
binding posts, the build quality of these amps ranks among the finest in
the world!
EXEMPLARY CIRCUIT DESIGN
The sonic purity of the PVA amplifier design is the result of our
intensive research and development in high-end design. Superior high-end
sound begins with a superior power supply. These amplifiers use
custom-built, low-noise, high-power toroidal transformers and advanced
power supply regulators with high-quality, low-ESL/low-ESR filter
capacitors and huge storage capacity.
Our proprietary and patented circuit designs follow Anthem’s ‘Keep-It-
Simple’ principle, using the fewest number of parts in the signal path
to maintain the integrity of sound. These amplifiers provide the finesse
and instantaneous output power to effortlessly reproduce the
challenging variety of special effects in movies and demanding musical
passages. They are stable as a rock, even into difficult loads.
PVA 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; 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.
