ClarityCap Capacitors
ClarityCap has been manufacturing high quality audio
grade capacitors for the last 20 years and more and more
people are appreciating the difference that a ClarityCap
capacitor makes to sound quality.
Why use ClarityCap?
ClarityCap capacitors have been developed in conjunction with industry manufacturers. There is a wide standard range offering a selection of capacitances and voltages. Custom-made components can be manufactured. Tape, resin and printing options are available. Worldwide product support. Already used by some of the world’s leading names in the loudspeaker industry. But above all, the clarity of sound our capacitors give to your products. Listen to the difference.
The SA range of capacitors is now recognised as one of the best audiophile components currently available.
Specially developed to meet the needs of the professional audio engineer in both hi-fi and studio monitoring, these components are the result of extensive consultation between the audio industry and ClarityCap.
The capacitors are hand wound using a 10µm(630Vdc) rated polypropylene film. Following a special heat treatment cycle,
insulated copper terminals are hand soldered to give the best possible connection. The inherently low dissipation and dielectric absorption factors of polypropylene allied with an excellent mechanical stability results in an extremely detailed sonic performance. The construction also results in a low self-inductance and ESR and the devices are highly stable with regard to temperature and frequency.
Tape and resin colours are flexible with options shown in Custom products. Unless specified, capacitors would be supplied with black tape and black resin.
The PX range has been designed to provide characteristics midway between ClarityCap's PWA and SA capacitors.
The inherently low dissipation and dielectric absorption factors of polypropylene allied with an excellent mechanical stability results in an extremely
detailed sonic performance. The construction also results in a low self-inductance and ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) and the devices are highly stable with regard to temperature and
frequency.
The ESA range of components exploits the knowledge gained during the extensive research programme recently undertaken by ClarityCap.
The research programme looked into ways of reducing mechanical resonances inherent in a wound capacitor to hitherto unachievable levels. ESA capacitors are designed to offer a mid way house between the highly regarded SA range
and the new no compromise
MR range. Manufactured from polypropylene film the component is supplied in the familiar wrap and end seal style, wrapped in a polyester tape and encapsulated in an epoxy resin.
The MR range of capacitors is the result of an extensive ground breaking 2 year research programme into audio grade capacitors.
The resulting capacitor is, we believe at the leading edge of today’s high quality audio grade capacitors.
The component is manufactured in such a way to substantially reduce the negative effects of resonance on sonic quality which is inherent in a wound component. This results in a sonic characteristic which is difficult to equal. Manufactured from metallised polypropylene film the component is housed in a coloured acrylic tube and encapsulated in an epoxy resin to assist in the overall sonic performance.
