About the P5

The Anthem P5 is a Statement Series 5-channel power amplifier designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking clean, quiet, and powerful amplification. Each channel is a fully independent monoblock amplifier with its own toroidal transformer and power supply, ensuring minimal crosstalk and maximum stability. It delivers 325 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms, and 675 watts into 2 ohms, maintaining stability even under demanding loads. The amplifier features a proprietary cascoded complementary feedback input stage with hand-matched low-noise bipolar transistors for superior linearity, bandwidth, and reliability. It has ultra-low distortion (THD+N of 0.0007% at 1 kHz), a wide frequency response (10 Hz to 150 kHz), and a high damping factor (>600 at 20 Hz). The P5 includes multiple input options (5 single-ended RCA, 5 balanced XLR, and relay trigger), and outputs via 5 pairs of speaker binding posts. Its robust construction includes a heavy-gauge steel chassis, large heatsinks for passive cooling, and a soft turn-on circuit to prevent breaker trips. The amplifier requires dual power cords connected to separate circuits due to its high power consumption (2 x 1800 W). Dimensions are approximately 9-3/8" H x 19-1/4" W x 22-1/2" D, and it weighs 130 lbs. It is designed and built in North America with a brushed aluminum cover and extruded aluminum handles.
