Product Features
Dimensions: (Ø 17mm - L: 44mm)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).
