P2

About the P2

The Anthem P2 is a two-channel Class-AB power amplifier designed for high-end audio performance. It delivers 325 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms and 500 watts into 4 ohms, with a frequency response from 10 Hz to 150 kHz (-3 dB). The amplifier features a proprietary cascoded complementary feedback input stage with hand-matched low-noise bipolar input devices for superior linearity and bandwidth. Each channel has an independent power supply with a conservatively rated toroidal transformer, ensuring clean, low-noise power delivery. The P2 uses massive convection-cooled heatsinks with serrated fins to dissipate heat without fans, monitored by thermal sensors. It supports both single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs, with a damping factor greater than 600 at 20 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 125 dB. The amplifier includes front panel power control and rear panel trigger and input mode switches. Dimensions are approximately 9.4" H x 19.25" W x 22.5" D, and it weighs about 75 pounds. The P2 is noted for its modular design, rugged build quality, and ability to drive low impedance loads reliably, making it suitable for demanding audiophile applications.
