Reference-Class Stereo Amplification with Massive Current Capability
The Anthem P2 Class-AB Stereo Power Amplifier With 325 Watts Per Channel brings Anthem's flagship Statement-series engineering to high-performance two-channel music systems and reference home theaters. Delivering 325 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts into 4 ohms and 675 watts into 2 ohms, the P2 is engineered to maintain exceptional control, dynamic authority and low distortion with demanding high-end loudspeakers.
Its multi-mono architecture gives each channel an independent amplifier circuit board, heatsink and power supply, helping the P2 behave more like two monoblock amplifiers sharing one chassis than a conventional stereo amplifier. Fourteen high-current bipolar output devices per channel, massive passive heatsinks, balanced XLR connectivity and Anthem's Advanced Load Monitoring provide the foundation for a powerful yet highly refined stereo amplifier.
Highlights & Benefits
-
325W Per Channel into 8 Ohms — Delivers substantial continuous stereo output, increasing to 500 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 675 watts per channel into 2 ohms.
-
True Multi-Mono Construction — Independent amplifier boards, heatsinks and power supplies for the left and right channels maximize separation and minimize interaction between channels.
-
14 Bipolar Output Devices Per Channel — Twenty-eight high-current output devices provide exceptional reserves for difficult speaker loads and demanding musical transients.
-
Balanced XLR & RCA Connectivity — Provides both balanced and single-ended inputs, including an attenuated XLR setting for flexible gain matching with compatible preamplifiers.
-
Stable into Demanding Loads — Anthem engineered the Statement P2 to remain stable into extremely difficult loudspeaker impedances while maintaining its high-output capabilities.
Technology & Design
Independent Multi-Mono Architecture — Each channel receives its own glass-epoxy circuit board, heatsink and independent power supply, providing exceptional isolation and allowing both channels to maintain full rated output simultaneously.
High-Current Class-AB Output Stage — Fourteen bipolar output devices per channel provide substantial current reserves and linear power delivery, allowing the P2 to confidently control difficult loudspeakers across a wide range of impedances.
Advanced Load Monitoring — Anthem's proprietary ALM system monitors operating conditions including temperature, current and voltage to help protect the amplifier while avoiding conventional current-limiting techniques that can compromise performance.
Massive Fanless Thermal Design — Large computer-modeled aluminum heatsinks provide passive cooling without relying on fans, keeping the amplifier quiet enough for dedicated listening rooms and reference theater environments.
FAQ — Anthem Statement P2
How much power does the Anthem P2 produce?
The P2 delivers 325 watts RMS per channel into 8 ohms, 500 watts per channel into 4 ohms and 675 watts per channel into 2 ohms. Anthem specifies these ratings with either one or both channels driven.
Is the Anthem P2 a dual-mono amplifier?
The P2 uses a true multi-mono design in which each channel has its own amplifier circuit board, heatsink and independent power supply. This provides many of the isolation and power-delivery advantages associated with separate monoblock amplifiers.
Does the P2 have balanced XLR inputs?
Yes. Each channel provides balanced XLR and single-ended RCA connectivity. The rear input selector provides RCA, XLR and attenuated XLR settings.
Can the P2 be used for home theater?
Yes. Although designed as a reference stereo amplifier, the P2 is an excellent choice for powering the front left and right loudspeakers in a high-performance home theater when paired with an Anthem A/V processor or another compatible preamplifier/processor.
