About the MCA-50

The Anthem MCA-50 is a 5-channel power amplifier known for its robust build and high-quality sound reproduction. It delivers 180 watts per channel into 8 ohms with very low distortion and a wide frequency response, making it suitable for demanding multi-channel surround sound setups. The amplifier features both single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs, a high damping factor of 130, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 122 dB, ensuring clean and precise audio output. It includes multiple power switch modes (manual, trigger, and auto-on/off) and uses custom oversized binding posts for reliable speaker connections. The MCA-50 is built with a large custom chassis and heatsinks for efficient heat dissipation and reliability. It weighs approximately 27.6 kg (61 lbs) and measures 17-1/4" wide x 7" high x 17-1/2" deep. The amplifier is designed and built in North America with high-quality components such as toroidal transformers and bipolar output transistors. It is capable of reproducing complex dynamics and multi-channel audio with clarity and power, making it a favored choice for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts.
