Anthem Statement M1

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.

Fun Fact:

At 4 ohms, where high-end speakers demand the most power, the Statement P5 delivers 500W.
The M1 achieves 2,000W—a 6 dB advantage—providing total authority over your speakers.

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.

Separating Fact from Fiction

Contrary to popular belief, Class D is not inherently flawed. Most Class D amplifiers underperform because the technology has not been fully realized—not because of the architecture itself. The M1 uses proprietary Class D amplification developed through extensive R&D, achieving a level of performance that challenges expectations.

Not a Digital Amplifier

The M1 is purely analog, with no A/D or D/A conversion. Its control system continuously varies the width of the output pulse train in direct relation to the analog input signal. This produces pure analog power, fundamentally different from a digital stream of uniform pulses.

Slim Size, Immense Power

Weighing just 20 kg and occupying a single rack space, the M1 delivers 1,000W into 8 ohms and 2,000W into 4 ohms—proof that design, not size, determines power.

Cool-Running by Design

Its advanced cooling system moves heat efficiently from the interior to exterior heat sinks using sealed copper pipes with a special fluid under vacuum. This system is thousands of times more efficient than traditional metal heat sinks and eliminates the need for noisy fans, allowing multiple M1 units to be stacked safely.

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.

Made in Canada

Engineered and manufactured with a defiant, independent spirit, the Statement M1 is proudly Made in Canada. Our commitment to local design and production allows our engineers to maintain absolute control over every detail, ensuring the final product delivers an experience defined by unrivaled quality and performance.

Built with Meticulous Detail

The hand-designed 4-layer FR4 circuit board with 2-ounce copper traces ensures minimal noise and inductance. Eight 65-amp MOSFETs per channel provide peak currents of 260A with high efficiency and low distortion. No relays in the signal path guarantee uninterrupted, reliable performance.

Bridged-Mode Amplification

The M1’s bridged design delivers lower resistance, higher speed, and improved sound quality while efficiently using the power supply and maintaining safety. Each output terminal reaches only 45 Vrms relative to chassis, even with 90 Vrms differential output.

The Anthem Advantage

Drawing on our decades of hands-on design and innovative audio engineering, Anthem products deliver an unparalleled level of reliability and functionality. This isn't just about features; it's about a relentless focus on a superior performance-to-price ratio that sets the industry standard.
