Reference Monoblock Power from an Ultra-Compact 1U Amplifier
The Anthem Statement M1 Mono Amplifier is a reference-level monoblock engineered to deliver extraordinary output power, speaker control and dynamic range from an exceptionally compact chassis. Rated at 1,000 watts into 8 ohms, 2,000 watts into 4 ohms and 2,400 watts into 2 ohms, the M1 provides the current capability required to drive even extremely demanding high-end loudspeakers without sacrificing detail or composure.
Anthem's proprietary Class D architecture combines high efficiency with a completely analog signal path, allowing the amplifier to deliver massive power while generating significantly less heat than a similarly powerful conventional design. Advanced Load Monitoring, Power Factor Correction, eight high-current MOSFETs, heat-pipe cooling and a 1U rack-friendly chassis make the M1 equally compelling for reference two-channel systems and large-scale home theaters.
Highlights & Benefits
-
1,000W into 8 Ohms — Provides extraordinary continuous monoblock output, increasing to 2,000 watts into 4 ohms and 2,400 watts into 2 ohms.
-
Proprietary Class D Architecture — Combines exceptional efficiency and compact dimensions with a purely analog signal path and high-end audio performance.
-
Advanced Load Monitoring — Continuously monitors voltage, output current and operating temperature without inserting conventional protection circuitry into the loudspeaker signal path.
-
Exceptional Loudspeaker Control — A damping factor greater than 1,400 at 20Hz provides tremendous control of difficult woofer loads and low-impedance loudspeakers.
-
Compact 1U Installation — Delivers kilowatt-level amplification from a chassis requiring only a single rack space, allowing multiple M1 amplifiers to be used in sophisticated installations.
Technology & Design
Pure-Analog Class D Amplification — Although the M1 uses Class D output technology, Anthem does not digitally convert the incoming audio signal. Pulse width is continuously controlled directly by the analog input signal without A/D or D/A conversion.
Eight High-Current MOSFETs — Eight 65-amp MOSFET devices provide massive peak-current capability, giving the amplifier the reserves required to maintain dynamics into demanding and low-impedance loads.
Power Factor Correction — Active PFC helps the M1 draw power efficiently from the AC supply while reducing the current peaks and line contamination associated with conventional high-power amplifier power supplies.
Heat-Pipe Thermal Management — Sealed copper heat pipes move thermal energy from internal components to the external heatsinks without cooling fans, allowing quiet operation and compact stacking in properly designed installations.
FAQ — Anthem Statement M1
How much power does the Anthem M1 produce?
The Statement M1 is rated at 1,000 watts RMS into 8 ohms, 2,000 watts into 4 ohms and 2,400 watts into 2 ohms.
Is the Anthem M1 a digital amplifier?
No. The M1 uses a proprietary Class D output architecture but maintains a purely analog audio signal path without analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion.
Do I need two M1 amplifiers for stereo?
Yes. The M1 is a dedicated monoblock with one amplifier channel, so a conventional two-channel stereo system requires two M1 amplifiers.
Can the M1 be used in a home theater?
Yes. Its compact 1U chassis and extremely high output make the M1 suitable for reference home theaters where individual loudspeaker channels require powerful dedicated amplification.
