Description
Flagship Monoblock Amplifier in a Compact 1U Chassis, Bridgeable with Advanced Load Monitoring (ALM™)
The Anthem M1 is the ultimate statement in power. This flagship monoblock redefines what’s possible, delivering 1,000 watts into 8 ohms and 2,000 watts into 4 ohms from a compact 1U chassis. It’s a pure analog amp that provides immense power and audiophile-grade performance.
The Definitive Monoblock
The Statement M1 is more than a slim, technologically advanced monaural amplifier—it is proof that Class D architecture is not fundamentally flawed. Previous shortcomings were due to implementation, a challenge that required a serious commitment to R&D. Fortunately, we have the in-house expertise to create such a groundbreaking product.Engineered in our advanced research center in Ottawa and manufactured in Toronto, the M1 delivers exceptional sound quality at all volume levels. It provides a flat frequency response into any load and remains stable even with the most demanding speakers. With 1,000 watts into 8 ohms and 2,000 watts into 4 ohms or less, THD remains under 0.1% from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.One listen reveals the truly extraordinary nature of this amplifier—a product of relentless pursuit of excellence, delivering a listening experience that is both powerful and pure. It is ideal for high-end two-channel systems and reference-level home theaters.
Pure Fidelity. Absolute Authority
The M1 captures every sonic subtlety and complexity. It reproduces the full dynamic range of the recording, from the quietest detail to the most explosive crescendos. The output stage prevents clipping and adds no compression as output increases, delivering pure, effortless power that remains true to the source even at the highest volumes.
Ruler-Flat Frequency Response
The M1 maintains a ruler-flat frequency response into any load through meticulous analog design, avoiding digital conversion or equalization. This ensures perfectly neutral sound, revealing the true character of your speakers. It remains stable into all loads, including open and short circuits, giving complete confidence in its performance under any conditions.
The Advantage of Efficiency
With a vanishingly low noise floor, the M1 is mechanically silent, suitable even for the quietest listening environments. Its exceptional efficiency generates minimal heat, allowing multiple units to be stacked safely—a space-saving solution for both home users and professional integrators. While Class D amplifiers are often cited as twice as efficient as conventional designs at full output, most amplifiers operate at a fraction of their capacity. At one-eighth of its maximum output—the typical working level—the M1 is six times more efficient than a conventional amplifier, delivering power quietly, coolly, and reliably.
Best Value in the Market
The M1 incorporates all the strengths of our award-winning Statement Class AB amplifiers but exceeds the capabilities of Class A, Class AB, and earlier Class D designs through exclusive Anthem technologies. It drives low-impedance speakers without difficulty, eliminates power line contamination, and ensures long-term reliability, delivering music and movies with breathtaking realism.
A Critical Listener’s Dream
With virtually silent operation and a noise floor below that of a high-end preamplifier, the M1 delivers pure, natural sound in the quietest listening rooms.
Proprietary Load Monitoring: A DSP monitors voltage, output current, and temperature without interacting with the load, ensuring consistent performance under all conditions.
Power Factor Correction (PFC): A DSP monitors voltage, output current, and temperature without interacting with the load, ensuring consistent performance under all conditions.
