Anthem PVA 7 Datasheet - page 4
A FEW WORDS ON RELIABILITY
The PVA 7 amplifier was created to perform flawlessly, offering stunning
musicality, tonal neutrality and dynamics, while driving any speaker load reliably
under real world conditions! Although the power supply is conservatively rated
and the amplifier runs cool for greater reliability, we didn’t stop there.
This fabulous amplifier also features our ALM™ (Advanced Load Monitoring)
circuitry which protects sensitive output devices, constantly monitoring
temperature, current and voltage to ensure optimum long-term performance.
ALM™ is totally non-invasive – it is not in the signal path, and only engages
in the most extreme circumstances where it will protect the amplifier from
being damaged, by maintaining the safe operating area (SOA) of the output
devices to give you years of uninterrupted service.
Buyer beware! Not all amplifier manufacturers have sophisticated load
monitoring provisions. Many have saved the added cost by leaving their
output devices unprotected. In the event of failure you may have to suffer
the inconvenience of disconnecting and arranging for the repair of your
amplifier, resulting in ‘down time’, simply because the manufacturer chose
to effectively use the amplifier’s output devices as ‘fuses’. ALM™ is a far
better solution, and it is included within the PVA 7 amplifier, making its value
even that much more remarkable!
The PVA 7 amplifier is another stunning example of how Anthem™ is the key
to high-end Audio/Video. Its sound quality rivals the finest available, at any
price; but then account for price and the value is simply unprecedented!
