Statement P5

About the Statement P5

The Anthem Statement P5 is a premium five-channel power amplifier designed with a unique multi-mono architecture, where each channel is a fully independent monoblock amplifier with its own power supply and transformer. It delivers 325 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms, and 675 watts into 2 ohms, maintaining stability down to a short circuit at full output. The amplifier features a proprietary cascoded complementary feedback input stage with hand-matched bipolar transistors for low distortion and high linearity. It offers extremely low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of 0.0007% at 1 kHz and 0.008% at 20 kHz, and an intermodulation distortion (IMD) of 0.00019%. Frequency response is exceptionally wide, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0/-0.15 dB) and extended to 5 Hz to 100 kHz (+0/-2 dB). The P5 includes five single-ended and five balanced inputs, with relay trigger control and gold-plated connectors. It has a damping factor greater than 600 at 20 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 125 dB A-weighted. The amplifier is passively cooled, weighs approximately 130 lbs (59 kg), and requires dual power cords connected to separate 15A circuits due to its high power consumption (up to 3600 watts). Power on/off can be controlled manually, via trigger, or automatically based on input signal detection. The P5 is highly regarded for its transparent, detailed soundstage, low noise floor, and robust build quality, making it suitable for demanding high-fidelity and home theater applications.
