High-end audio capacitors transform treble reproduction

Charcroft Electronics Ltd offers the Purity range of ClarityCap audio capacitors to provide a notable lower noise floor, with more ‘dark space’ around the audio signal and an improved dynamic range. These features allow better clarity for audio reproduction and improved spatial separation for the individual instrument and vocals.

“The feedback from audio engineers who assessed the initial samples of the Purity audio capacitors confirms that the increased tweeter drive transforms the treble for more nuanced reproduction,” explains Debbie Rowland, director, Charcroft Electronics.

The capacitors use proven windings based on the Enhanced Super Audio capacitors for voltages up to 630VDC, and the Minimal Resonance capacitors up to 800VDC, with capacitance values from 100nF to 73µF. The CopperConnect technology in the end connection proven in theClarityCap CSA and CMR capacitors has been increased to 10mm thickness. This maximises the high-frequency propagation of the signal over the end-face of the capacitor and reduces the effects of grain-boundary crossings on phasing.

Many high-end loudspeaker manufacturers specify the silver-coated, multi-strand Van den Hul cable termination used in these capacitors. This adds to the combined increase in surface area to give an easy path for high frequencies to reach the tweeter and offer accurate source reproduction.
