JANTZEN AUDIO 001-7222 Amber Z-Cap Pure Copper Foil Capacitor

OVERVIEW

Due to the max. 200 volts DC voltage rating, we advise customers to be mindful when using Amber 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).

PRODUCT FEATURES

The Amber Z-Cap is a super high-end pure copper foil capacitor, designed specifically for passive crossovers (mainly tweeters).They are also equally well suited for mid-range applications, but due to the price point of these super high-end capacitors, they will most often be used for tweeter applications. The Amber Z-Cap builds on the same design principles of our already critically acclaimed Alumen Z-Caps. The differences between the two are subtle, but to the connoisseur listener, the listening experience will still be a clear improvement in the overall tonal balance. The copper foil has a noticeable positive impact on the “flavor” of the sound. This “flavor” of copper foil is best described as an even more neutral/natural depiction of vocals and instruments. This is paired with the enhancements in transparency and detail richness on an even higher level compared to metalized polypropylene capacitors (MKP / Super MKP capacitors).

KEY INNOVATIONS

• An extremely fast-reacting capacitor
• Ultra-thin dielectric insulation to eliminate memory effect in the capacitor
• Extremely low ESR, SEL, inductance and dielectric absorption data
• High-quality pure copper foil wound with highly specialized machinery and precision winding techniques
•  The center of the capacitor is enforced by small steel balls to further ensure stability and shape of the capacitor
• The specialized winding technique and overall quality of this capacitor enable us to offer a high-end product with a lot less distortion compared to the market standard
• Specifically designed for the tweeter and mid-range section of passive crossovers
• Can also be used as coupling capacitors for transistor amplifiers
