Welcome to Anthem™/Sonic Frontiers products

For more than a decade Sonic Frontiers International has manufactured award-winning high-end components. Sonic Frontiers™ and Anthem™ products are used internationally at all levels of music reproduction: in homes and recording studios as well as in professional broadcasting. Europe 1, France’s national radio station, uses three Sonic Frontiers D/A converters atop the Eiffel Tower, while NASA uses a Sonic Frontiers power amplifier in its Space Shuttle testing facility in Key Largo, Florida.

Our reputation in both analog and digital design is legendary and our products have received numerous awards, and acclaim in the best-known magazines. In the USA Stereophile magazine has praised us with numerous “Class A” recommendations and honored us with their coveted “Digital Component of the Year” award.

Our original goal was to create a high-end product without the high-end price. Our success is reflected in an award-winning product line that continues to set new, high-end reference standards of performance, regardless of price.

Precision, power, and finessetrademarks of PVA 2, PVA 5 and PVA 7 multichannel amplifiers.
Unlocking the incredible sound sculptures, special effects, and dynamics of today's home theater and music recordings is no small feat, at least not for the average amplifier. But then, Anthem?s PVA 2, PVA 5, PVA 7 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers are anything but average. They are equally at home delivering all of the thundering impact and excitement of a surround sound movie experience as they are imparting the subtle nuances of a multichannel music performance, or paying rich sonic tribute to the sweeping highs and lows of your favorite stereo music recording.

These are world class overachievers, easily able to withstand the scrutiny of direct comparisons, both sonically and in build quality, with amplifiers costing several times as much! They are, by a wide margin, the best built, best performing, best value amplifiers available.

:: Superior Circuit Design ::
The sonic purity of the Anthem PVA 2, PVA 5, PVA 7 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers design is the result of our intensive research and development in high-end design. Superior high-end sound begins with a superior power supply. To that end, these amplifiers use custom-built, low-noise high-power toroidal transformers and advanced power supply regulators with high-quality, low-ESL, low-ESR filter capacitors. They possess huge storage capacity of 100,000 micro farads in the PVA 7, 60,000 in the PVA 5, and 40,000 in the PVA 2.

Our proprietary and patented circuit designs follow the ?Keep-It-Simple? principle, using the fewest number of parts in the signal path to maintain the highest integrity of sound. These amplifiers provide the finesse and instantaneous output power to effortlessly reproduce the challenging variety of special effects in movies and demanding musical passages. They are stable as a rock, even into difficult loads, maintaining complete sonic integrity at all output levels to provide a clear, detailed and consistently powerful sonic performance.

Anthem PVA 2, PVA 5, PVA 7 home theater audio multichannel amplifiers can be powered on/off three ways: manually, with the On/Off switch on the front panel; remotely, via the 12-volt trigger input; or automatically, with our patented 4~uto-0n/Off circuit?an incoming audio signal immediately switches it on, and approximately 20 minutes after the audio signal ends, it simply switches off.

:: Superior Parts and Materials for Superior Performance ::
Superior performance demands superior parts and materials. Anthem PVA 2, PVA 5, PVA 7 Home Theater Audio Multichannel Amplifiers are designed and built in North America using only the finest quality parts and materials. From FR-4 military-spec epoxy circuit boards, to ? multiple high-current bipolar-output transistors, and from oversized, computer-designed modeled heatsinks, to our own custom-designed robust binding posts, the build quality of these amplifiers ranks among the finest in the world!

:: as good as no noise at all ::
"...an incredible S/N ratio of 122 dB. Good grief! That?s as good as no noise at all" said Brian Florian, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, commenting on the PVA 7. Whether it?s the subtle (or not-so-subtle) special effects in a movie, or the tonal subtleties produced by the strings of a single violin, Anthem PVA 2, PVA 5, PVA 7 home theater audio multichannel amplifiers captUre it all! Ultra-low distortion and an incredible signal-to-noise ratio place these amplifiers among the cleanest and quietest on the market. From a completely silent ?black? background sound appears in its purest form to envelop you in powerful emotion.

:: Expert Craftsmanship and Quality Control ::
Our products are award-winning and internationally recognized not only for their exceptional sonic performance, but also for their superb craftsmanship and reliability.
