Anthem M1 Mono Power Amplifier

Anthem M1 Mono Power Amplifier   “... a technological tour de force that outputs an enormous amount of power from what seems to be an impossibly small and lightweight package. ... If you’ve got a big home theater space to fill and speakers that require a great deal of power, the Anthem M1s are certainly worth considering” — MICHAEL FREMER, SOUND&VISION   State-of-the-Art Monaural Amplifier The highest sound quality at all volume levels, flat frequency response into any load, and stable into the most difficult loads. The Statement M1 is a state-of-the-art monaural amplifier delivering 1,000 watts into 8 Ohms and 2,000 watts into 4 Ohms or less with THD remaining under 0.1% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Designed and engineered in our advanced research center in Ottawa, Canada, the M1 is manufactured in our Toronto facility. More than just a slim, technologically advanced monaural design, the M1 demonstrates that Class D architecture isn't fundamentally flawed, it simply hasn't been implemented well in the past, mainly because it required such a heavy commitment to R&D. We’re fortunate to have the in-house resources to create such a groundbreaking product and one listen will reveal the truly extraordinary nature of this amplifier.   Cutting Edge Technology and Design Full resolution of all of the sonic subtleties and complexities in the input signal Accurate reproduction of the full dynamic range of the signal Output stage is never allowed to clip No compression as output increases Flat frequency response into any load, without having to resort to digital conversion or equalization to compensate Stable into all loads including open circuit and short circuit A low noise floor Exceptional efficiency with low heat output An amp so mechanically silent it will suit even the quietest listening room A design that allows multiple units to be stacked with no danger of overheating All of the above delivered at a price point that while not inexpensive, delivers virtually limitless dynamic fidelity Specifications Power Output Continuous, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, <0.1% THD+N 8 Ω 1000 W 4 Ω 2000 W 3 Ω 2400 W 2 Ω >2000 W depending on line voltage regulation With 120V AC supply the amplifier’s maximum output into impedances 4 Ω and lower, as well as its maximum duration, vary depending on line voltage regulation.

A 20A circuit is adequate for two amplifiers playing music where speaker impedance is 8 Ω. This product operates from a single phase AC power source that supplies between 108V and 264V at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.  Dimensions Height with feet 2 1/4 inches (5.7 cm) Height without feet 1 rack unit Width standard handles 19 1/4 inches (49 cm) Width rackmount handles 19 inches (48.3 cm) Depth 18 3/4 inches (47.6 cm) Weight (unpacked) 20 lb (9 kg)
