ADVANCED LOAD MONITORING (ALM
™
)
All Anthem
™
and Anthem
™
Statement amplifiers are designed to perform
flawlessly—offering stunning musicality, tonal neutrality and incredible
dynamics while driving any speaker load reliably under real-world conditions!
The power supply is conservatively rated and the amplifiers run cool for
greater reliability, but we didn’t stop there.
These amplifiers feature our ALM
™
(Advanced Load Monitoring) circuitry which
protects sensitive output devices by 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 to protect the amplifier from damage by maintaining
the safe operating area of the output devices. Buyer beware however! Not all
amplifier manufacturers have sophisticated load-monitoring provisions.
Many have saved the added cost, leaving their output devices unprotected,
choosing instead to use the amplifier’s output devices as “fuses.” At
Anthem/Sonic Frontiers, ALM
™
is just one of the ways in which our products
provide owners with years of reliable service.
