The Jantzen Cross Cap (low-value range) is a budget-friendly film capacitor designed for crossover networks where small capacitance values are required — particularly in high-pass filters for tweeters or trap notch filters. Metalized Polypropylene Foil Capacitor. The Cross Cap is offering a high-level of performance and quality at a very reasonable price point.
The Jantzen Cross Cap (low-value range) is a budget-friendly film capacitor designed for crossover networks where small capacitance values are required — particularly in high-pass filters for tweeters or trap notch filters.
Though entry-level, the Cross Cap delivers clear performance and stability far beyond electrolytic caps in terms of sound quality and lifespan.
Capacitance Range: 0.10 – 1.80 µF
Tolerance: ±5%
Voltage Rating: 400 VDC
Dielectric: Metallized polypropylene foil
Type: Non-polarized, axial leads
Loss Factor (ESR): Moderate — better than electrolytics, higher than Z-Caps
Clearer and more accurate than budget bipolar electrolytics
Slightly soft top-end compared to higher-tier Z-Caps
Stable tone, decent transient handling, low distortion at this price point
Tweeter crossovers in budget or DIY 2-way speakers
Notch filters for resonance control
Replacement for small-value electrolytics in older speaker designs
PRODUCT FEATURE
The Cross Cap is offering a high-level of performance and quality at a very reasonable price point.
A great multipurpose entry-level audiophile capacitor.
A single foil (standard type MKP/PP foil) construction that uses a good quality aluminum and zinc based metalized polypropylene foil.
Available in a very wide range of capacitance values.
Virtually free of distortion and delivers a pleasant and rather neutral sonic profile.
