Design and Build Quality

Solid Construction: The MCA 525 Gen 2 boasts a sturdy build quality with a focus on durability and longevity, suitable for both home theater and audio systems.

Compact Form Factor: Designed to be compact and rack-mountable, making it versatile for various installation setups.

Audio Performance

Amplification Power: Provides 225 watts per channel into 8 ohms, offering ample power for driving a wide range of speakers with clarity and precision.

Low flux toroidal power transformers ensure ultra quiet performance by minimising 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.

High-Current Output: Capable of delivering high-current output, ensuring dynamic and detailed sound reproduction even at high volumes.

MCA amplifiers deliver incredible dynamics thanks to massive “audiophile approved” conservatively rated power supplies designed with high rail voltages.

Technology and Features

Advanced Circuitry: Utilises advanced amplifier circuitry and design principles to minimise distortion and noise, resulting in clean and transparent audio output.

Stable Performance: Designed for stable operation under demanding conditions, maintaining consistent performance over extended periods.
Connectivity and Compatibility

Versatile Connectivity: Offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, providing flexibility for connecting to various preamplifiers and audio sources.

Bi-Amplification Support: Suitable for bi-amplifying speakers to enhance audio performance and achieve optimal speaker control.

User Experience

Quiet Operation: Engineered for low noise and minimal interference, ensuring clear and pristine audio playback.

Easy Integration: Designed for ease of integration into existing audio setups, with straightforward setup and configuration options.

Durability and Reliability

Longevity: Built with high-quality components and robust construction, ensuring reliability and longevity over years of use.

Heat Management: Features efficient heat dissipation mechanisms to maintain optimal operating temperatures and reliability.

Completely redesigned

The new Anthem MCA GEN 2 series greatly reduces the use of internal cabling for a much smoother circuit path for pure, unobstructed audio performance. The use of low-flux toroidal transformers and improved input transistors provide a greater sense of transparency, even with dynamically complex material.

Anthem have also improved other performance benchmarks including power bandwidth and slew rate. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB, background noise is practically nonexistent, leaving you with just pure natural sound reproduction.
Power and Performance

Power Output:
225 watts per channel continuous power into 8 ohms
400 watts per channel continuous power into 4 ohms
Up to 600 watts per channel into 2 ohms

This impressive power handling ensures the amplifier can drive a wide range of speaker loads effectively, providing ample headroom and dynamic range.

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD):
At 100 watts, 1 kHz: 0.001%
At 100 watts, 20 kHz: 0.015%

These low THD values indicate very clean and accurate amplification with minimal distortion.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR):
Greater than 120 dB (IEC-A, ref. 225 W)

This high SNR ensures a very quiet background, allowing the finest details in the audio to be clearly heard.

Frequency Response:
20 Hz to 20 kHz ± 0.1 dB

This wide and flat frequency response ensures accurate sound reproduction across the entire audible range.
