Jantzen Audio Alumen Z-Cap 0,47 – 10 µF +/- 5% 100 VDC Pure Aluminum Foil Capacitor

Description

PRODUCT FEATURES
The Alumen Z-Cap is a high-end pure aluminum foil capacitor, designed specifically for passive crossovers (tweeters and midrange drivers).
It utilizes a much thinner dielectric insulation compared to the market standard.
A high voltage rating is not needed for application related to passive loudspeaker crossovers.
The usage of a thinner dielectric insulator allows for a capacitors with less “memory” and one that is much faster reacting.
The Alumen Z-Cap offers unparalleled value for money in terms of cost versus performance.
Compared to the Superior and Silver Z-Caps (Super MKP / double metallized polypropylene foil) capacitors, the Alumen Z-Cap will bring less brightness and a little more natural top end balance to your system.
Ideal for audio aficionados who prefer a slightly less bright system, while also hearing improvements in the overall naturalness/neutrality of the whole system.
Due to the max. 100 volts DC voltage rating, we advise customers to be mindful when using Alumen Z-Caps for tube/valve and power amplifier application.
For upgrading the coupling capacitors in amplifiers, we instead recommend choosing our Superior or Silver Z-Caps (Double-foil Super MKP capacitors).

KEY INNOVATIONS
• Ultra-thin dielectric insulation to eliminate memory effect in the capacitor

• Very low ESR, SEL, inductance and dielectric absorption data
• High quality pure aluminum foil wound with highly specialized machinery and precision winding techniques
• Specifically designed for the tweeter and mid-range section of passive crossovers
• Can also be used as coupling capacitors for transistor amplifiers
