ANTHEM’S FIVE KEYS TO SUPERIOR PRODUCTS
1. Superior Circuit Design
The sonic purity of the Anthem™
PVA 7’s design is the result of more
than twelve years of intensive
research and development in high-end
design. Superior high-end sound
begins with a superior power supply.
To that end, the PVA 7 uses a cus-
tom-built, low-noise 800 VA toroidal
power transformer and advanced
power supply regulation with high-
quality, low-ESL, low-ESR filter
capacitors, with an incredible
100,000 µF of storage capacity.
Proprietary and patented circuit
designs follow the ‘Keep-It-Simple’
principle, using the fewest number
of parts in the signal path to fully
maintain the highest integrity of
sound. The PVA 7 provides both the
finesse and instantaneous output
power needed to effortlessly repro-
duce the challenging variety of special
effects in movies, or demanding
musical passages. It is also stable
as a rock, even into difficult loads,
maintaining complete sonic integrity
at all output levels to provide a
supremely clear, detailed and consis-
tently powerful sonic performance.
The PVA 7 amplifier can be powered
on/off three ways: manually, with the
On/Off switch on the front panel;
remotely, via its 12-volt trigger input;
or automatically, with its Auto-On/Off
circuit – with an audio signal (from
Preamplifier or SSP) it immediately
switches on, and when there is no
audio signal after 20 minutes, it simply
switches off.
2. Highest Quality Parts
and Materials
Superior performance demands supe-
rior parts and materials. Designed
and built in North America, the PVA 7
incorporates parts and materials of
the highest quality. From its FR-4
military spec epoxy circuit boards, 28
high-current bipolar output transis-
tors, oversized computer-designed
and modeled heatsinks for cool
operation and long life, to our own
custom-designed robust binding
posts to ensure full power delivery at
all times, the PVA 7 build quality is
clearly among the finest in the world!
3. Minimum Noise and Distortion
Whether it’s the subtle or not-so-subtle
effects in a movie – creaking stairs in
a haunted house, wind whispering
across a desolate beach, the crack
of a bat meeting leather – or the
tonal subtleties produced by a single
violin, the PVA 7 captures it all! With
ultra-low distortion and an incredible
signal-to-noise ratio of 122 dB, this
amplifier is one of the cleanest and
quietest on the market. Sound appears
in its purest form from a completely
‘black,’ silent background, to capture
you with all of its emotion and power.
4. Expert Craftsmanship
and Superior Quality Control
Anthem™ products are internationally
recognized not only for their excep-
tional sonic performance, but also for

a line of products respected for their
flawless performance, and designed
to provide complete and lasting sat-
isfaction for years to come. It is
not at all surprising that our products
are highly sought after around
the world!
5. A Passion for Better Sound!
Before pragmatic design, before
performance testing and long before
production, comes passion! A pas-
sion to produce something truly
exceptional. Our products are
